In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
(John 1:1-1-2)
Begin with the Word. There is something mysterious about time. Once gone, it cannot be retrieved. Today is not the ending of the passing year but a new beginning of the coming year. A perfect time to begin with the Word that brings life and meaning to our world. A life in Christ is a life of light that shines our path and a life that is full of grace and truth. Let us always begin our day with Jesus in whom all things emanate.
Jesus is the Word of God, the expression of His mind. He reveals the Father's heart, His grace and truth we find. He is salvation of our God, the greatest gift of love. God revealed His justice, in His righteous Son. He came to show us mercy, and for our sins atone. He taught us how to live, and what is right and wrong. He guides us by His Spirit and makes us wise and strong. God spoke through Jesus, His beloved Son. He revealed His glory, His grace and His love. He fulfilled His promise, His law and His word. He accomplished His purpose, His mission and His work.
Jesus was with God from the beginning and is God. Everything was made through Jesus, and nothing exists without Him. He is the light that shines in the darkness, bringing hope and guidance to all humanity. Our existence and sustenance come from Jesus. He is the source of life. In Him, we find true life, both physical and spiritual. Let us seek His light in our daily walk and to reflect His light to others.
Lord Jesus, we come before You in awe and reverence, Acknowledging Your divine nature and eternal presence. In the beginning, You were with God, and through You, all things were made. We thank You for being the source of life, The light that shines in the darkness, Guiding us with Your truth and love. Help us to recognize Your presence in our lives, and to live in the light of Your grace. Grant us the wisdom to see Your hand in creation, And the strength to follow Your path. May we reflect Your light to those around us, Bringing hope and joy to a world in need. Amen.
