Have you ever given any thought to what the beginning of the Earth was?

    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.  All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.

John 1:1-3             King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…

    Have you ever given any thought to what the beginning was?  I don’t mean Darwin’s Theory either!  I mean the very beginning before there was anything.  Before there was anything that we know of, The Word WAS!   The Word was with God in the beginning and He was God, in the beginning the Word was whatever God spoke!  The Word was not already written down somewhere on scrolls or tablets.  God spoke forth the Word and what He spoke came into existence.  The faith filled Word-seed that God spoke went forth and the Holy Spirit acted upon it and the supernatural power of God caused something to happen in the natural realm.  It wasn’t some ‘Big Bang’ as science theory tries to proclaim. The Bible also says that nothing that was made came about without Him (the Word).   Verse 2 says the same was with God in the beginning.  The Greek word used here is  “houtos” G3778 in the Strong’s Concordance and it’s possible meanings are:  the he (she or it), –he (it was that), hereof, it, she, such as, the same, these, they, this (man, same, woman), which, who.  Notice the Greek implies a person.  This same (“houtos”, the He) , the Word, was with God in the beginning.  Now let’s jump ahead and look at verse 14 of John 1 and see who this “houtos” was.   “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”   Praise God, Jesus (the Word) was with God in the beginning, it was He Who formed the worlds, because He was the Word!   And now God has given us His Word by divine inspiration through holy men of old, written down, to guide us each and every day.  Because He wanted His Word with us always.

MY PRAYER…

    Heavenly Father, I pray that You will reveal unto Your people the true image of Jesus, the truth of who He really is.  That You would fill our hearts with the knowledge and truth of Your Word as we read and meditate on it.  That You would quicken that Word within our spirits that we might be alive unto You even as Jesus was in the beginning.  Father help us to become as living Word unto You.  Help us to be what You would have us to be, and to do what You would have us to do on this earth as we complete the ministry given us here on earth.

In Jesus Name I pray.

Amen
