Scripture Reading: John 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ..All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 1:1-3
John’s gospel begins with a powerful declaration about the identity of Jesus. It introduces Jesus as the eternal Word who existed alongside God before time itself began.
This passage emphasizes that Jesus is not only with God but is God Himself. This foundational truth is at the heart of the Christian faith.
This profound introduction establishes Jesus not only as a central figure in the gospel but as the divine agent through whom all creation came into existence.
“All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” This means that Jesus is the divine agent through whom all creation came into existence. Nothing exists apart from him; he is the source and sustainer of all things.
This profound description of Jesus forms the foundation for our relationship with him. Recognizing Jesus as both eternal and divine shapes how we understand his role in the world and in our lives. He is central not only to the gospel narrative but to the very existence of creation itself.
