The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

John 1:14-18, “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.
15 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.'”
16 For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace.
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.”

Recently, I spent some time listening quite intently to some well-versed quantum theorists discuss and debate aspects of their discipline, with but one, solitary mention of God! What they admittedly did not know about aspects of human mentality, would doubtlessly have been aided had they brought the LORD into
the overall discussion.

While there was no visibly, intentional denial of the LORD, His absence spoke
against the scholars’ belief and trust in Him. Why do men intentionally omit the
LORD Jesus from their discussions? Is He not relevant to all intelligent thought?
His visibility is among us, regardless of our exclusion of Him in our discussions.

Perhaps, too, those items of discussion that elude most of us, would themselves
draw clearly to conclusions, were we to include Him. “Grace and truth” are to be
realized in Jesus, bringing to closure those concepts that without Him belittle our
claims of intelligence.

How often have we longed to know answers to complex, human dilemma? Yet,
when we brought our “unknowns” to Him, we surprised ourselves with the utter
simplicity of them. “…the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father,
He has explained Him.” Listen and absorb the unknowns of men, but come to
the LORD Almighty for the full and truthful answers.

Heartily in Christ Jesus,
