It is damning to believe in the wrong Jesus as to believe in no Jesus.

You can't be saved by believing the wrong thing about Christ. You must believe in his deity and humanity.

The great preacher Charles Spurgeon once asked his congregation,

are you satisfied with Christ? And then he said this,

if you are not satisfied, you've not really got him. If you've got him, he's everything to you.

So are you one of those people who has, as Spurgeon put it, got Christ. Is the Lord everything to you? I urge you to consider that

with us today on grace to you as John MacArthur continues his study, the word made flesh. John's going to look at what scripture

reveals about the depths of Christ's grace and he'll show you why knowing

Christ should be your greatest joy and we'll examine the blessing that comes from a life

focused on our Lord.

So follow along now as John begins the lesson.

We have been introduced to the Lord Jesus Christ in this gospel.

He is the word, he is the life, he is the light, as we learned in the first four verses, and the fifth verse began to expand on that concept of

light and we came all the way down into verse 13 last time so pick it up at

John 1 14 let me read it to you.

And the word became flesh and dwelt among us and we saw his glory, glory as of the only

begotten from the Father full of grace and truth.

John testified about him and cried out saying,

this was he of whom I said,

He who comes after me has a higher rank than I,

for he existed before me.

For of his fullness we have all received and grace upon grace.
