The other day while talking about God with some of the mothers (elderly ladies) in the church, on a Saturday afternoon while visiting the sick, we all had a wonderful thought about Jesus.
We saw the Oneness of God plainly in the first three words of Genesis, something we never saw or imagined before.
“In the beginning” Gen 1:1
Who is the beginning? It is no other than God Himself, Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The Ending.
So, who was “In the beginning (ie God)”. Was it not Jesus Christ, the Word incarnate!
Maybe that’s why John picked it up and said: “In the beginning (God) was the Word (Jesus Christ)” jhn 1:1.
This blessed me tremendously, it is obvious, simple truth, but seeing my Lord in the unexpected is such a blessing. Our hearts burned within us as we continued to talk and pray on that lazy Saturday afternoon.

I am trying to put together a quick biographical profile of Bishop C.A. Holdsworth from Jamaica – for a conference website – to be held this week. Can somebody out there please help me with some pertinent data? I need the info by the 21st of September 2009
Thank You.

Truth is Spiritually provided when we seek the Lord and go about our servitude. By design, it is impossible to do the Lords work and not be shown tidbits of true reality that brightens our pathway.
You are so right in your analogy; God came as a man to solidify his ‘kingdom’ [the redeemed] unto an eternity of worship and praise. How is that possible if he were just a man? a third ‘person’ provided just for sacrifice? He was “God with us” and that made it easier for mankind to see the reality of Gods love. Love was not created for man; man was created for love…”God is Love”. But, back to your insight: “I am Alpha & Omega, the beginning and the end”…all wrapped in Jesus Christ that was before creation..all born again Christians know the true origin of the Name. Thanks for sharing.

Hello,
I found you’re blog and read some. I think that the website http://www.netzarim.co.il will be of interest to you and your readers. It contains research about Ribi Yehoshua (the Messiah) from Nazareth.

Thanks for this and spot on. I love to explore the bible and the more I learn the more I find Jesus there. It can also be very exciting to explore the new testament in light of the old.

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was WITH God and the Word was God. The “Word” was with “God”. Isn’t that two? If not why not?

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was WITH God and the Word was God. The “Word” was with “God”. Isn’t that two? If not why not? YES NOT!BECAUSE HE IS ONE.DEU6:4,ISAIAH44:6,45:6 GENESIS 1 DECLARES THAT GOD CREATED THE UNIVERSE AND THE EARTH.JOHN COMES ON THE SCENE AND TELLS YOU WHO THIS MAN IS BY THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AND HE EQUATES THIS GOD OF GENESIS WITH JESUS CHRIST THE WORD OF THE NEW TESTAMENT!SO HERE YOU HAVE IT, IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD(THE ETERNAL GOD)AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD(THE ETERNAL GOD)AND THE WORD WAS GOD(THE ETERNAL GOD) YOU CANNOT SEPARATE THE WORD OF GOD JUST LIKE YOU CANNOT SEPARATE A MAN AND HIS WORD.SO WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SEPARATE PERSONALITIES UNLESS YOUR LOOKING AT IT FORM THE CARNAL FLESHLY MIND INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT IT FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT’S PERSPECTIVE.I SAY SEEK THE WORD OF GOD,SEEK THE HOLY SPIRIT AND JESUS WILL REVEAL WHO HE REALLY IS TO YOU!REMEMBER TO YOURSELF,TO OTHERS,TO MYSELF AND TO ALL GENERATIONS THAT GOD IS ONE AND THERE IS NO OTHER AND THAT THE NAME OF THIS ONE TRUE GOD IS JESUS CHRIST AMEN…….
