In the beginning . . .

As we enter the new year, we may think of a time of new beginnings. In today’s lesson, minister Aaron Hill explores Jesus’ role in the beginning as recorded in the book of John. John records, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made” (John 1:1-3). Jesus wasn’t just some human who obtained divinity. He has been with God as part of the Godhead from the beginning. Nothing has ever happened without Christ. The Father, Son, and Spirit are three necessary members of One, of the triune Godhead.
