1 THE BEGINNING OF THE GOSPEL
THE BEGINNINGS
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word [Gr. logos],
and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
The actual beginning of the Bible starts with the physical creation of Gen. 1:1.
But, even before that time, we have another ‘beginning’, which, the last of the Gospels writers, John, brings to our attention. It is the ‘real beginning’, before the universe and any matter came into existence.
All physical matter can be estimated, and, since ‘God’ cannot [or else there could not be God], conversely, therefore we have this ‘beginning’ before the physical creation.
John 1
3 All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made.
We now align with Gen. 1:1. This miracle of matter coming out of
nothing as it were - of the universe, and our earth being brought into existence, becomes the greatest in scope,
and panoramic
magnitude of all miracles relating to inanimate nature, with the creation of living nature, afterwards coming out of it.
However, the crowning pinnacle of creation was the creating of man, and woman out of man - together, to be in the image of God, and thereafter - man - out of woman, equalling humankind.
John 1
4 In Him was life; and the life was the Light of humankind.
5 And the Light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Our next beginning is the enlightenment of the mind. God created man and woman, and
spoke to them, teaching - enlightening their minds through educating the pinnacle of
His creation, in an ongoing process.
