November 1 – The Word , It Was, It Is

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1 (ESV)

Farther back than we can think, in the beginning…the Word existed. God was the Word. In fact, we can learn and know that because the Word in this context is a name for eternal God. The very existence of God was manifested in the message, with words spoken in the beginning with God. This is a truth that is quite deep to understand. It does require some time of thinking and meditating on it and praying for the Holy Spirit to open its meaning up for us. Since the Word was God, God is also the Word. Since God is from the beginning and before that, the Word is also from the beginning with God. Jesus Christ is the Word. He is the Word spoken from God. The Son's Word spoke the world into being and spoke everything that exists into being. It is only through His Word that anything exists at all. Let’s remember, the Word was with God in a special relationship of eternal fellowship in God. We are in Christ and the Holy Spirit abides in us, that means we have the promise of The Word in us as well
