As our words reveal our hearts and minds,

. . . so Jesus Christ was His Father's Word, revealing his heart and mind to us.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Christ existed in the beginning, not because He was created, but because He is eternal. He is God and was there when God said, "Let there be . . ." For He spoke and it was done. God created all things through Jesus Christ.

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among men.

They saw His works, heard His words, and observed His perfect life. He gave them every opportunity to grasp the truth, believe, and be saved. They crucified the way, the truth, the life, the Alpha and Omega -- the beginning and the end, the light of the world, the Bread of Life, the Lily of the Valley.

His light still shines, offering eternal life to those who believe on Him.
