1 Kings 7:1-51; Jeremiah 14:1-22; Ephesians 6:10-24
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
This verse is breathtakingly profound. It captures in a few words that staggering mystery of the Person of Christ. He is eternal: “In the beginning was the Word”. He exists separately from God: “and the Word was with God”. He is equal to God: “And the Word was God”. Volumes could be written on this single verse. And yet He can be known by anyone who will accept Him as Saviour. He will be the eternal provider and companion of every believer. Do you know Him? —Brian Gunning
Thou art the everlasting Word,
The Father’s only Son;
God manifestly seen and heard,
And Heav’n’s belovèd one. —Josiah Conder
