"IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD AND TH WORD WAS GOD.
THE SAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD.
ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM; AND WITHOUT HIM WAS NOT ANYTHING MADE THAT WAS MADE." John 1:1-3
"And the WORD was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld Glory, as the only of the Father full of grace and truth."John1:14.
Jesus and the Father are ONE. KNOW JESUS AND YOU KNOW OUR FATHER THE SON of God is called the Word, seems to be, that as our words explain our minds to others, so was the Son of God sent in order to reveal his Father's mind to the world. What the evangelist says of Christ proves that he is God. He asserts, His existence in the beginning; His coexistence with the Father. The Word was with God. All things were made by him, and not as an instrument. Without him was not any thing made that was made, from the highest angel to the meanest worm. This shows how well qualified he was for the work of our redemption and salvation. The light of reason, as well as the life of sense, is derived from him, and depends upon him. This eternal Word, this true Light shines, but the darkness comprehends it not. Let us pray without ceasing, that our eyes may be opened to behold this Light, that we may walk in it; and thus be made wise unto salvation, by faith in Jesus Christ.

You know I love to read your teaching.
Watching you yesterday with your kids as a father helpes me to see why mom can relate to God as her Heavenly Daddy.
I love you, Granddad.
1 Thessalians 5:16-18
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
Dad,
John 1and is among my favorite chapters.
John begins his gospel with a tremendous statement about Jesus Christ: on these truths his whole case rests. In him (the Word- Jesus) God speaks to man. He is the most perfect and complete expression of the Person of God we can ever know.
We so often forget to thank our heavenly Father for saying "let there be salvation ..redemption ...through my precious Son"
I forever go back to John 1and Genesis1...
All God has to say is..."let there be!"I and it is finished!
