In the Beginning

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God . . And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." John 1:1, 14a

There is only one place to begin. And that is in the beginning. And let our hearts rejoice that "In the beginning ws the Word" and that Word became flesh . . became a Man, in the person of Jesus Christ.

That is the greatest relief I know.

This is the greatest fact in all history. Tere is no other place to begin except to rest the central confidence of our lives in the fact htat God did reveal HImself in Jesus and that He is alive now. When we begin at any other point, we get lost. More accurately, we realize we are already lost. Only He is a Redeemer. Only He offers a way to make use of suffering.

Only Jesus Christ offers eternal Life, because only He is eternal Life.

We are beginning and there is no other place to begin except with the glorious fact of Jesus Christ, who Himself is the beginning and the end.

I am He that Liveth, and was dead; and . . . am alive for evermore. I am the beginning and the end.
