Scripture Reading: John 1:b,c,d
...and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
Devotional: It is interesting that John refers to Jesus Christ as “the Word”. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit speaks creation into being, “And God said......” It is the speaking of God that brings about “new life” of faith in Jesus Christ. Paul says in Romans 10:17 “.....faith comes through hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.”
In both Old and New Testaments, the Word of God is the source of life and of eternal life.
The Word of God was with God and the Word was God.
Three in One and One in Three beyond time and space, but who entered time and space to ransom the world from sin and death.
The Word, Jesus Christ was with God from the beginning and was sent by God to do what the world could not do, but which only God could do, and that is to reconcile the world into God's Self. The Word taking our flesh and dwelling among us; this is the great act of God's gracious self-giving love to bring the world into right relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ.
God spoke creation into being. God spoke, and eternal life came into being. God spoke the Word and the world is saved.
Prayer: Come, Lord Jesus.
