John 1:1 (NKJV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
This might be a confusing verse to some, especially for those who are new to the family of God.
You might look at this and say “what’s all this stuff about the Word?”.
Let me take a minute to explain.
“The Word” is one of the names given to Jesus Christ in scripture. Jesus had many different “names” throughout the Bible, running from the Old testament (in prophecies), all the way through the end of the New Testament.
We hear Him called the Son of man, the Son of God, the Lamb of God, the Lamb who was slain, the Bright and Morning Star, and a host of others.
Jesus was also referred to as The Word, or the Word of God.
Revelation 19:13 (NKJV) He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.
What’s so awesome about the verse above, in John 1:1, is that this verse shows us that Jesus was there in the beginning, right along with God the Father, at the creation of all that we see!
Jesus was a participant in the creation, not just an observer!
So if anyone ever tries to tell you that Jesus was simply created by God or that He was less than “God with us”, just remember that He was there in the beginning and all things were made through Him!
John 1:3 (NKJV) All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
Rest today, knowing that our Savior was there in the beginning.
