John 1:1-3
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made.”
This passage opens John's Gospel, introducing Jesus not merely as a human figure but as the 'Word' (Logos) who existed before creation and was instrumental in its making. It sets the theological stage for understanding Jesus' divine identity and role.
How does beginning with 'the Word' shape your understanding of the universe's origin and ongoing existence?
