In The Beginning

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."  John 1:1.  So begins the great gospel according to John.  This sentence declares the divine nature of Jesus Christ.  Jesus was God in the flesh.  John concludes this gospel with the declaration of the divine nature of Jesus.  John 20:30-31.  Jesus is identified here as the Word.  He spoke the will of God and did so with all authority.  Because of the miracles that He worked, His word could not be denied.  He spoke the word which gives direction for our lives.  If we walk according to His will, we will be blessed both now and in the world to come.  Jesus spoke the word that gives us life.  Without His direction, we are as dead men.  The words of Jesus are words that inspire us to live better in the sight of God and men.  Through the words of Christ we know love and caring.  His words give us peace and comfort.  His words enable us to make the decisions that offer us a better future and a more endearing hope.  We cannot but read His words and know that His words are higher that any thought that man can have.  Jesus was God speaking a will that must control every thought and activity.
