“ In the beginning the World already existed. Word was with God and the Word was God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness can never extinguish it.” John 1:1-5
“ But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn – not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but with a birth that comes from God.” John 1: 12-13
Jesus is referred to in the Greek as meaning “The Word”. In John 1 Jesus is clearly described as God, and the co-creator with God the Father. It is important for us to always remember that God had a plan from the beginning. He knew what was happening and what was going to happen. Jesus was a vital part of the creation of the world and its contents. He was a vital part of the plan that God had for the world. God knew that the devil was against him and that this world would be thrown into chaos. The plan included Jesus his son, the very existence of God himself, to come to this earth and be sacrificed for those who believe and accept him. Because of Adam and Eve, and their weakness, we are all born into sin. We all start out the same way and all have the same opportunities. However, there are those who will never quite understand God and his reasoning. They will or have become so influenced with the worldly ways around them that they will never be able to change their ways. They will never be able to let go of the worldly riches of this world that they have so intimately become involved with. However, for those who do believe and who accept the Word of God for what it is, the living, breathing truth of our Lord God in heaven, the opportunity exists. We are given the chance to become re-born into the true family of our God in heaven. Our rebirth consists of a faith that must grow daily, become tall to be seen and become a voice and a light in the worldly wilderness that will shine above all darkness. The life of Jesus brought light to everyone but not all will choose to follow. Not all will believe and not all will be doers of the word. They will be hearers only, hearing only the things that will give them what they think is permission to do what they desire in this world. Listen up! It is time if you have not accepted Jesus. Time is running short and when it runs out there are no other chances. Keep praying, believing and build your faith. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
