In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.
Points to Ponder
Jesus existed before He was begotten. His pre-incarnate state was eternally with the Father and Spirit. He didn’t just come on the scene at Christmas. He was there before. Before His Christmas birth. He was there before Moses crossed the Red Sea with a bunch of scared Israelites. He was there before Adam and Eve fell into sin. He was there before … “In the beginning.” He has enjoyed eternal perfect fellowship with the Father and Spirit. Yet He came to earth that we might enjoy perfect eternal fellowship with Him.
Relish that thought.
