Part One: Who is Jesus Christ
and Why is He Important to Me?
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. (John 1:1)
Jesus Christ is Eternally God
The original language in which the Apostle John wrote was Greek. The Greek word logos was translated into English as Word, and refers to Jesus Christ. But it is much more than that. It also refers to the doctrine of Jesus Christ, the Plan of Salvation and Existence; the word by which inner thought is expressed and the inner thought itself. [1]
According to another
Bible study source, John uses the word logos 6 times as a
designation of the Divine preexistent person of Jesus Christ.[2]
In
other words, Jesus did not begin His existence in Bethlehem nor leave His
existence on Calvary. He is eternal. He was with the Father in the beginning
before the world was. He was with God and He was God, chosen by
our Heavenly Father to be the Savior of the world so that through Him we could
return to God.
What
does it mean to you to know that you have a God who is eternally your God
and Savior? How do you claim that blessing?
