Shalom,

We begin again in the Gospel of John with our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today. Here are verses 1-5:

1 In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. 2 He was present originally with God. 3 All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. 4 In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. 5 And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it].

First of all we see the TRUTH that GOD was ALWAYS here! We see the our GOD is the Living WORD! We see that all of creation came about through God's Word! He, the WORD, JESUS, was present through all time! He left Heaven to be born as a human being in order to live as we live so that HE could pay OUR PRICE for SIN and WE could have HIS payment credited to our account! JESUS never STOPPED being GOD, He just never operated as God while He was ministering on the earth! There is only one place to find these TRUTHS! The WORD of GOD! Dig in and allow Holy Spirit, Who is the personal TEACHER of all believers, teach YOU just what all of this means to YOU, in YOUR life! Then praise HIM with Hillsong and "Desert Song":

Shalom in Him!
