I have decided to turn a different way in my blog posts starting wih this one today. I want to take us to the book of John and give a scripture or two each day and explain what it (they) means. In John 1:1-2 we find this:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.
Two short sentences but powerful in what they tell us. In the beginning, was God. Before time, as we have come to know it. Before the earth. Before the stars.
Before everything.
However, there was someone else there with God. The Word was with God. Who was??
The Word.
His name is Jesus!
Jesus was with God in the beginning. He was the Word. And he became flesh when his mother Mary brought him forth, to walk among us and grow up to die for our sin.
How can such a thing be? God. Jesus. Nothing existed before them. Only they know. But, we can be confident that as Genesis says in chapter 1:1-2, , that God created the heavens and the earth and goes on in that chapter to say that He created everything else. And in John 1:1-2, that the Word as Jesus, was with Him as He created it.
We have no idea how it can be. Maybe one day, when we get to heaven, God will reveal it all to us and we will get to know all the secrets of heaven. Until then, we can just wonder...
Thanks for coming by today, Friend. Til next time, God bless!
