John 1:14-16 14 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. 15 (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, This is the one I spoke about when I said, He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.) 16 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. Psalm 22:19 19 But you, LORD, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me. Hebrews 1:1-3 1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of Gods glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. Psalm 22:19 19 But you, LORD, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me. Job23:2-3 2 Even today my complaint is bitter; his hand is heavy in spite of my groaning. 3 If only I knew where to find him; if only I could go to his dwelling! Psalm 22:19 19 But you, LORD, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me. Job 23:8-9 8 But if I go to the east, he is not there; if I go to the west, I do not find him. 9 When he is at work in the north, I do not see him; when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him. Psalm 22:19 19 But you, LORD, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me. Galatians 4:4-7 Brothers and sisters: When the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to ransom those under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. As proof that you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, Abba, Father!So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then also an heir, through God. Psalm 22:19 19 But you, LORD, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me. Colossians 1:15, 2:9-10 15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation 9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.
