I read a neat article published in American Thinker called "Who He Is" So beautiful and encouraging. Please take a look (changed the link to American Thinker. The previous one on Canada Free Press opened some irritating pop-ups):

And here are some of the wonderful scriptures it draws from. Glorious! Good News to ponder on this very special day.
In the beginning was the Speech, and the Speech was with God, and the Speech was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things came into existence through him; and without him nothing came into existence. That which has come to exist
in him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shines in the darkness; and the darkness did not apprehend it. John 1:1-5
He was in the world, and the world came into existence through him, and the world did not know him.
He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become sons of God, to those who believe on his name: John 1:10-12
And the Speech became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw his glory, glory as an only begotten from a father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14
For you+ know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your+ sakes he became poor, that you+ through his poverty might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9
He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we did not esteem him.
Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, struck of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was on him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:3-5
Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
For we do not have a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one who has been in all points tried like [we are, yet] without sin. Hebrews 4:14-15
Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by me. John 14:6
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes on him should not perish, but have eternal life.John 3:16
Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he who comes to me will not hunger, and he who believes on me will never thirst. John 6:35
for the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to fountains of waters of life: and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Revelation 7:17
And he said to me, They have come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him who is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely.
He who overcomes will inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he will be my son. Revelation 21:6-7
