Read John 1:1-5
" In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. " John 1:1
Who was already there in the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1)? Who was with God the Father in the beginning, and with God the Spirit as He moved upon the face of the waters (Genesis 1:2)? Who created all things that were made? Who formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils, giving him life, both physical and spiritual, making Adam a creature who loved God, trusted Him, and served Him (Genesis 2:7)? It is the Word--God’s Son, Jesus Christ! In the beginning, God the Son was already there! He was with God; and, He was and always has been God! Christ Jesus, before taking on human flesh, created man and all things! Without Him nothing was created that has been made! Cf. Hebrews 1:1-3. Man’s life was in Him, and this life was man’s light. But now this Light of life shines in our sin darkened world, and man does not understand Him or receive Him! How tragic! How blinded we are by sin not to recognize our own Creator, come into this world to redeem us and give us back the life in Him we lost by our sin!
Dear Lord Jesus, our God and Lord, open our eyes that we may see You and the life You have won for us, and give us Your Spirit that we may take hold of You in faith. Amen.
