This is a well known
verse: it introduces the living word, the person, Jesus, who is the central
message/theme of the scriptures. kindly note, I would only draw out a little
charge from the depths of this scripture, whatever I represent here is only
just an introduction. The highlights below help us to understand the verse
more personally
The Reality of the word: In
the beginning was the word.
There was a being in the beginning, He was called the Word, He wasn’t just in the beginning, He was the beginning because in Him all things consist Col 1:17, Heb 1:3
This being is real, Heb
11:6,
He isn’t a fictional character and in fact, the takeaway in this clause is the
reality of His being. Our interaction with, belief in, or action with the Word
is personal, while He is the God of creation, He is much more, the God of the individual. Individual disposition, feelings, dogmas or personal bias does nothing to change the
reality of the word Heb 13:8. The word is
the standard of judgment and the basis of all things that are and will be 2
Corinthians 5:10. The first persuasion in this scripture is that you
are to believe in the reality of this person called the Word, 2 Chronicles 20:20. He is the beginning that caused the beginning. Believe in
the Lord your God…
The place of the word: the
word was with God
The Word is not a standalone
being, He had a companion, the person, God, He had equal placement with God Phil
2:5-9.
His place at the beginning was with God. When God created man, He loved man Jer
31:3
and always desired to be with us Jn 14:3,
from the Garden of Eden to the cross, His desire remained the same and He still
wants to be with us today Mk 3:14.
Have you made room for Him; will you open the door of your heart? Rev
3:20.
Emmanuel isn’t just a name, He is a message
The Revelation of and by the Word: the word was God
Here the word is
revealed to be God, 1 Jn 1:1. This is the most important revelation in the scriptures; the unveiling of the Word of
God, Rev
1:1.
While you may take it lightly, it is a scripture that separates Christianity
from conventional religions and faiths because it centralizes Christ as the
ultimate revelation and theme of the scripture. The ultimate aim of scripture is to reveal
Christ Jn 5:39.
To get wedged into the word, here is the scripture sequence: You must believe that God is real, and then you must make a place for Him then is when you receive deeper revelations of Him and also the open door of abundant revelations through Him.
God bless you
Thank you sir.
ReplyDeletePlease I desire a better understanding of Heb 1:3f.
God bless you sir
DeleteYou right sir. It is in three dimensions, 'the word, the same word was with God, the same word was God Himself. The word is Jesus christ the saviour of the word. He was equal to God but make himself no reputation and surrender to the will of His father because he love us tenderly and gave his life for us so that we might be saved. He is the same word that was spoken and all the creatures both living and non- living came into existence. May the grace to be thirsty and hunger for the word be bestowed upon us in Jesus name. Remember he love us first and He is expecting our love in return by not cause him heartache "No comitting sin again". We are saved by grace therefore holiness is our watchword.
