“In the beginning was the Word.” (John 1:1)
The words “in the beginning” take us to
the beginning. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis
1:1) The baby Mary held was connected to the dawn of time. He saw the first ray
of sunlight and heard the first crash of a wave. The baby was born, but the
Word never was.
“All things were made through Him.” (1
Corinthians 8:6 NCV) Not by Him, but through Him. Jesus didn’t fashion the
world out of raw material He found. He created all things out of nothing.
Jesus: the Genesis Word, “the firstborn
over all creation.” (Colossians 1:15) He is the “one Lord, Jesus Christ, through
whom God made everything and through whom we have been given life.” (1
Corinthians 8:6 NLT)
And then, what no theologian conceived,
what no rabbi dared to dream, God did. “The Word became flesh.” (John 1:14)…
The Word of God entered the world with the cry of a baby.
