40 Treasured Bible Verses

John 1:14 The Word became flesh . . . full of grace and truth. The Gospel of John begins like the first notes of some grand symphony, or perhaps the first brushstrokes of a masterpiece on canvas, or the first words whispered to you when you were cradled in your mother's arms. 'In the beginning was the Word. . . . And the Word became flesh . . . full of grace and truth.' Who was Jesus? Was he born to Mary in Bethlehem? Had he always been? John 1 unlocks a mystery. The Word always was God. Somehow, the fellowship that is God, the intimate relationships of love that are God's heart, have always been, and will always be. --from chapter 1.
