I Know
Mike DeVries
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory,
the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace
and truth. John 1:14
There are perhaps no two more powerful words than the words "I know."
I know what you're going through.
I know what it is like.
I know how you are feeling.
I know.
We all long to hear those words, do we not? We all long to believe that there
is someone, anyone, who knows what it is like - who knows what we are going
through. When you find that certain someone who does know what it is like,
doesn't it seem to change everything?
Some two thousand years ago, in a sleepy town in Judea, God did something
revolutionary. Rather than offering a voice of concern to a weary world, God did
something beyond what anyone could have ever dreamed or imagined.

In Jesus, the Word, the voice, comes to dwell among us.
In the incarnation, we celebrate the reality that God knows and cares enough
about people that He chose to dwell among us in a very physical and present
sort of way. The unseen God of Israelite history was now the seen God. The
invisible made visible.
We are told in the Scriptures that in Jesus "we saw the glory of the one and
only." In other words, Jesus was putting God on display. You want to see what
God is like? You want to see how to live in harmony with the Creator? Look at
Jesus. He is the way and the truth and the life.
In the incarnation is found a large message from God to you and me: I know.
I know what you're going through.
I know what it is like.
I know how you are feeling.
I know.
So wherever you find yourself this day, no matter what circumstances you may
find yourself in, know that there is a God who knows. Feeling alone? He knows.
Feeling overwhelmed? He knows. Feeling as if you just cannot go on? He knows.
Feeling like there is no one who understands? He knows. He's been there too.
In Jesus, He knows.
He knows. He knows. He knows.
