John1;1-14.
In the above-quoted text, we see Jesus revealed as the living Word. As the living word, Jesus was
there in the beginning. He was also with God in the beginning. So He is the alpha. He was not only
with God in the beginning, he participated in creation. He is part and parcel of the creating team as
the word portrays to us. When the Bible in Genesis chapter one says, let us make man in our image and
likeness, it shows us that Jesus was there. So Jesus is the channel through which God created all things.
He is also the creator. In him Bible says was life and this life was the light of men. This shows us that
Jesus is the Light of the world. It is amazing how the Bible talks of the first day, second day, third day
in Genesis while the sun and the moon was created on the fourth day. The world was made through
Him. The word became flesh, rather, Jesus is the manifestation of the Word of God .
In this short text we see Jesus as;
- The living word.
- Alpha.
- Omega
- Creator
- Light.
- The manifested word of God.
