"Let this mind be in you which was also
in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God... made Himself of
no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the
likeness of men. And being
found in appearance as a man,
He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death,
even the death of the cross. " Philippians 2:5-8
"He is
the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn over all creation. For
by Him all things
were created that are in
heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones
or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created
through Him and for Him. And
He is before all things,
and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the
church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that
in all things He may have the preeminence."
Colossians 1:15-18
"The people who walked in darkness have
seen a great light;
Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,
Upon them a light has shined....
For unto us a
Child is born,
unto us a
Son
is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful,
Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting
Father,
Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." Isaiah 9:2, 6-7
"In
the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. He was
in the beginning with God.
All things were made
through Him, and without
Him nothing was made that was made.
In Him was life,
and the
life was the light of men.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend
it.
"There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that
all through him might l believe. He was not that Light, but was
sent to bear
witness of that Light.
"That
was the
true Light which gives light
to every man coming into the world. He was in the world, and
the world
was made through Him, and
the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did
not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the
right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of
the will of man, but of God."
John 1:1-13
"And the
Word became flesh
and dwelt among us, and we

preferred before me, for He was before me....

seen God at any time. The only begotten
Son,
who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him."

"The next day John saw Jesus coming
toward him, and said, 'Behold!
'The Lamb of God 'who takes away the sin of the world!
'This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who is preferred
before me, for He was before me.’...
"And John bore witness, saying, 'I saw
the Spirit
descending from heaven like a dove,
and He remained upon Him. I did not know Him, but He who sent me
to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit
descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the
Holy Spirit.’
And I have seen and testified that this is the
Son of God.”
John 1:29-34
"Jesus said to them, 'I
am the bread of life.
He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me
shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen Me and
yet do not believe.... For
I have come down from
heaven, not to do My own
will, but the will of Him who sent Me.... And this is the will of
Him who sent Me, that
everyone who sees
the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life;
and I will
raise him up at the last
day.” John 6:35-40

I say to you,
I am the door
of the sheep. 'All who ever came before Me are thieves and
robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
I am the door.
If anyone enters by Me, he
will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The
thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
I have come that they may have life, and that they may have
it more abundantly."
John 10:3-6,
710
“I
am the good shepherd.
The good shepherd gives His life for
the sheep. But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does
not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and e leaves the sheep and
flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling
flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.
I am the good shepherd;
and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows
Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the
sheep. And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them
also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be
one flock and one shepherd."
John 10:11-16
"the Jews surrounded Him and said to
Him, '...If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.' Jesus answered
them, 'I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in
My Father’s name, they v bear witness of Me. But you do not believe,
because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. My sheep
hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give
them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone
snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me,
is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My
Father’s hand.
I and My Father are
one.'”

had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know
that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.' Jesus said to

the resurrection at the last day.'

am l the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever
lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?'”
John 11:21-26
"Jesus said to her [Mary], 'Did I not
say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of
God?' Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead
man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, 'Father, I
thank You that You have heard Me. 'And I know that You always hear
Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that
they may believe that You sent Me. 'Now when He had said these things,
He cried with a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come forth!' And he who had
died came out....”

the sake of the works themselves."

and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will
be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself
to him.”

And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only
true God, and Jesus Christ f whom You have sent. I have glorified

with the
glory which I had with You
before the
world was."

as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire... He had in His right
hand seven stars, l out of His mouth went a
sharp two-edged sword,
and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. And
when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right
hand on me, saying to me, 'Do not be afraid;
I am the First and
the Last. I am He
who lives,
and was
dead, and behold,
I am alive forevermore...."

white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a
sharp sword, that with
it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with
