“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...And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
(John 1:1-2,14)
The Word was in the beginning; therefore; it stands to reason the Word was before the beginning. But it seems John is not referring to the eternal past but the beginning as recorded in Genesis chapter one. In verses 1 and 3 of this chapter and book we read, “In the beginning God...said.…” It all started with a word, GOD’S WORD!
We sometimes say, “I didn’t think about what I was saying,” meaning thought was behind the words, and that is correct: a word originates from thought. Thus if we want to know what God thinks about anything, we must see what He has to say about it. If we are to know the mind of God it is necessary to know the Word of God.
In one of my old Bibles I made this note: “The Spoken Word (us) makes known the Written Word (Bible); the Written Word makes known the Living Word (Christ); and the Living Word makes known the Eternal Word (God).” The one makes known the Bible, it makes known Christ, and He makes known God. Thoses who make little of the Word knows little of God!
