1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. (Genesis 1)
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcomea it.
14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1)
Thoughts: John 1 is a commentary on Genesis 1. It tells us that when God spoke and made the world- Jesus- the Word was there. John would have us know that even in the beginning God wanted the world to know its Maker. It is through the Word of God- emanating from the Father's mouth that the world was exploded into existence. It was God's intention to relate and love His world. It it interesting that God speaks and the world exists. God speaks to us in the way we are made. We are made to know the voice that called us into existence. But God still reaches out to us- coming down to us in the person of Jesus Christ. The Word that called the world into existence became flesh that we might know Him. God is not silent- He speaks to us and for us.
Prayer: Thank you God that you made us to hear your voice, to know you, and to love you.
