“It’s All About the Word”
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. (John1:1)
Occasionally, the question is raised by those who question the deity of Christ “how can be be the Son of God and God manifest in the flesh at the same time?” The verse above, in the eyes of such would raise the same question. The Word was both “with God” and “was God.” It’s a truth upon which our faith is founded; Jesus Christ the only begotten of the Father. Trying to explain it in its entirety would be like trying to explain how God can be from everlasting and to everlasting. We know from scripture that he is, however our mind would tell us “this can’t be. He had to come from somewhere.” The truth of Gods omnipotence shows just how little we know about all that is and we like to have things figured out. There are those who spend their entire lives trying to figure it all out.
This blog was started some time ago, however, I was uncertain as to where to go with it. I’ve decided to focus strictly upon the word of God; bringing forth scriptures and thinking out loud, as it were about them. There are verses that are so deep; so outside of our consideration, that as we read them and read them again, increasingly profound truth comes forth. They just keep getting deeper and more fascinating as the Holy Spirit grants understanding. (Careful to not allow the imagination to get in the way) Jesus stated that his word would abide forever; long after the heavens and the earth are but a distant memory. Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending. His word testifies to a fallen world that “God is,” he desires to have a relationship with us, and has made provision for that relationship through the blood of Jesus that was shed for us.
This blog is intended to stay focused on the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word manifest in the flesh. It will not enter the treacherous waters of geo-political wranglings or become wrapped up in the ongoing controversies of the day. It’s a place to set all of the circus acts currently keeping the world in suspense, and consider the deep things of God. I pray that as we think on these things, that we’ll find ourselves seated in heavenly places and remembering that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared to with the glory that shall be revealed in us. (Romans 8:18)
