The force of gravity is very straightforward. If you drop an object from any height it will
fall to the ground. But by looking at
the elements which make up the force of gravity (matter, space, time, mass,
etc.) we begin to see the complexity of what just moments ago seemed so simple.
The first five verses of the gospel of John
seem on the surface very simple, but each phrase is deeply spiritual and pushes
us to learn more about our God. John
uses words such as “in the beginning” and “Word” and “light” and
“darkness.” And where these words come
from and how John uses them to describe Jesus Christ drives us into a deeper
relationship and understanding of Jesus Christ.
What moments ago seemed simple is revealed as complex and powerful.
Join us this week as we dig into God’s Word
by reading and studying John 1:1-5. I
would encourage each of us to read through these verses, if not the whole first
chapter in preparation for our time together.
May the Spirit guide us and may we grow in our faith and love in the
Lord as we read His Word together.
Striving to know Christ and make Him known,
