LIVING AUTHENTICALLY - THE PRE-EXISTENT DIVINITY OF CHRIST - TUESDAY
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:1 [New International Version]
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said,
Genesis 1:1-3a [New International Version]
the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay.
Romans 8:21 [New Living Translation]
Prayer:
Father, Thank you that, from ancient time, the acknowledgement of your triune nature testifies to the existence of Jesus from the beginning as the logos (word) that spoke creation into being. Thank you for the knowledge that you have shared with our scientists who have continually proposed and examined theories as to the details of composition and chronology of the creation of our physical environment. Help me to respect the efforts of the academics and governments to manage the environment for now and into the future as they see it , and to understand my part in the restoration of your creation.
Amen.
