In the beginning...

The Gospel of John starts, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God". Beautiful words so rich with meaning, though not so literal or obvious. Scholars derive the "Logos" concept from this passage in John. Our script of John was written in Greek originally. Therefore the translation of the word "Word" comes from the word "logos", which has several meanings in Greek. This passage also speaks of Jesus in a context where is esteemed as God. Jesus Christ was more than the prophet spoken of by Moses, he was more than the Messiah that Isaiah spoke of, he was in deed the son of God. He God the Son, the Son of Man, Lord of lords and King of kings. He is God. These verses also speak of Jesus before the immaculate conception. This confirms the doctrine that before we are born we lived with the Father. It is to say that our spirits existed before being born into this world. Indeed Jesus was the creator of the world we live in. He had an extremely important role with God the Father before the world was created. Notice the wording in Genesis 1:26, "Let us make man in our image."
