The Word Was God

Dec 14, 2025    Pastor Stan McGehee

This exploration of John's Gospel prologue invites us into one of Scripture's most profound declarations: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.' The beauty of John's account is how it reaches beyond the other Gospels, pulling back the curtain on eternity itself. While Matthew traces Jesus to Abraham, and Luke to Adam, John takes us before time began, revealing that the baby in the manger is the eternal Logos—the very Word through whom all things were created. Understanding this transforms how we approach Advent: we're not just celebrating a birth, but the incomprehensible condescension of the Creator entering His creation.
