“In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God. And the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning” (John 1:1). John’s gospel calls Jesus the Word of God. He presents him as the personal Word of God which indicates that in these last days God has spoken to us through his Son, the Scripture also revealed that Jesus Christ is the manifold wisdom of God and the perfect revelation of the nature and person of God; just as a person’s words reveals his or her heart and mind, of Christ same as the Word reveals the heart and mind, of God. All those who know Jesus Christ, earnestly desire to know him more and more. Our Lord Said Before Abraham was, I Am, means that Abraham is a creature of God just as Adam and Eve; and Jesus Christ is the creator, he is the beginning and the end, the first and the last, the Mediator, the Messiah, predicted by the Old Testament Prophets long before Abraham was born. Jesus Christ was made of God’s Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption, as the Lamb of God that was slain before the foundation of the universe. “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together “(Colossians 1:17) This Book should be a comfort to all Christians that if God has not acted in your life for a long time, or for many years, continue to wait on his promises, you can be confident he will act again, and he will fulfill his promise in your life. God never goes back on his word. Jesus Christ said “And now, Father, Glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world…” (John 17:5-6) Christ’s prayer for protection, joy, sanctification, love and unity applies to only to those who believe in him, to those who belong to God, believe in Jesus Christ, obey the Word of Christ and accept his teachings as well as being separated from the world. God will show his love for you in an active way, in a big way, in a way that you cannot imagine or think, or comprehend. At the present time, your most holy duty, your task is to draw close to the Lord and continue in faithful obedience to his commandment, to his Word and to the control and direction of the Holy Spirit.
