In the Beginning was…
The opening chapter of the book of John in the Bible is truly an awesome essay on the history of the universe. “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. All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made. In Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.”
Perhaps one of the most profound poems ever penned. In the rest of the book you’ll find out who this “Word” is and the works He does to back up these verses. Healing, teaching, saving, reversing death processes, governing natural forces at will. We call them miracles, because they go so far beyond anything humanly possible.
If you want to have a crash course in theology, the book of John will bring you up to speed in short order. Just finished reading it together with my father-inlaw and it just blew us away.
