In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
John wrote in Greek.
The culture of the day was Greek.
The Greeks valued logic,
Ideas that challenged their thinking,
The Gospel is an irrefutable argument.
John was Jewish.
His heritage was Jewish.
Jews valued the revelation of God.
The Law. The Prophets.
Jesus is the ultimate revelation of God..
Jesus is the Word.
He is eternal.
At the very beginning
When the Self-Existent One was all there was
Jesus was there.
He was WITH God.
Separate and distinct from God.
He WAS God.
The same as God.
Jesus is both.
The Gospel opens with a mystery.
The Word.
However, we don’t have to solve it.
We just believe.
Believe the Word.
