Daily Bible Reading – December 2021: God’s Word of Joy

DÍA 19 DE 31

December 19

Introduction

Today’s reading is in the form of a prologue or opening hymn that introduces the key themes to John’s Gospel. Jesus is described as the Word who already existed with God and whose life “brought light to people.” John the Baptist is described as one who bore witness to the light.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

John 1:1-18

Today’s Key Verse:  John 1:14a

The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us.

Reflect

Jesus is presented as the Word who was with God when God created and gave life to everything. The opening words, “In the beginning,” hearken back to Genesis 1. The first thing God created was light. How many times does the word “light” appear in today’s reading? What does the reference to Jesus as “light” mean to you?

Pray

Lord Jesus, you are the living Word and source of life. You are the true Light that no darkness can overcome. Grace and truth come through you. Out of the fullness of your grace, I am blessed. Because I believe in you, I know that I am a beloved child of God. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for coming into the world. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who are in spiritual darkness

Tomorrow’s Reading

Matthew 1:1-17: Matthew gives an account of Jesus’s ancestors.
