Have you ever tried to describe something so big, so magnificent, that words just won’t do it justice? That’s kinda what John was up against when he opened his gospel. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Now, that’s a mouthful, but it’s also the entire Gospel wrapped up in one sentence.

John wasn’t just talking about some fancy poetry—he was introducing us to Jesus. Before there was light, before there were mountains, before your grandma’s cornbread recipe—there was Jesus. He’s always been. He wasn’t Plan B or a last-minute fix for a broken world. No, He was God from the get-go, walking in perfect unity with the Father.

And here’s the kicker: the same Jesus who was there when the stars were hung and the oceans were poured is the One who knows your name. He’s with you when the car won’t start, when the diagnosis comes back, or when your heart is so heavy you can barely breathe.

So, if you’re feeling lost today, remember this: you were spoken into existence by the same Word that made the universe. And that Word—the living, breathing, saving Jesus—is still speaking life into you. You’re not just part of creation—you’re part of the Creator’s story. And that’s a pretty good place to be.
