In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and he was God. He was in the beginning with God. He created everything there is. Nothing exists that he didn't make. – John 1:1-3
Jesus Christ is the Word of God described in these verses. When the “beginning” took place, He already was. Someone has correctly stated, “There never was a time when He was not.” If we could travel back into the history of the universe to the first moment we call time, Jesus would be there. While it is beyond our comprehension, Jesus has always been, as has the Father and the Holy Spirit.
In addition to Jesus’ eternal existence, we learn that He is God. He is not a part of God, or a semblance of God, but really God and fully God. Jesus did not come to earth as half man and half God, but completely God and completely man at the same time. He was, is, and always will be God.
Adding to these magnificent truths is the fact that Jesus, the eternal God, created the Universe in which we exist. If you were to go outside and look around your neighborhood, or focus your eye through the lens of the most powerful telescope, everything that you see in all of creation was made by Jesus Christ.
The next time we say the name, “Jesus,” let us do so with these truths in mind. He is greater than we have ever imagined Him to be.
PRAYER THOUGHT: Lord, may my worship of the Word be representative of who You truly are.
