The Word
“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” (John 1:1-2).
“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 1:14).
These sublime words take us back into a timeless, dateless past. It establishes the eternity of the person of Christ. It confirms the equality, and deity of the Son of God. The Word becoming flesh is an astonishing and amazing mystery and Paul was caught up in the wonder of it when he wrote, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” (1 Timothy 3:16). There is nothing that will consecrate the believer to yield to this blessed person like the realization of the majesty, glory, and power of Him whom they have trusted.
