“In the beginning was the Word.” Before creation dawned, Christ already was. He is no creature of time but the eternal Son. “Before Abraham was born, I am.” (John 8:58).

“And the Word was with God.” From eternity, the Son was face to face with the Father, sharing His glory. “Glorify Me… with the glory I had with You before the world existed.” (John 17:5). Proverbs whispers of Him: “I was beside Him, His delight daily.” (Proverbs 8:30).

“And the Word was God.” Not similar to God, not merely near to God, but God Himself. He forgave sins (Mark 2:5), ruled the Sabbath (Mark 2:28), and claimed Daniel’s vision of everlasting dominion (Mark 14:62). The high priest tore his robes because Jesus claimed what belongs only to God.

“All things came into being through Him.” (John 1:3) Hebrews says, “Through Him He made the world, upholding all things by His word.” (Hebrews 1:2–3). He stilled the storm with a command (Mark 4:39). Creation itself obeys Him still.

“In Him was life, and the life was the Light of mankind.” (John 1:4) Jesus declared, “I am the resurrection and the life.” (John 11:25). Isaiah foresaw: “The people walking in darkness will see a great light.” (Isaiah 9:2). Jesus fulfilled it: “I am the Light of the world.” (John 8:12).

The riddle of Proverbs is answered: “Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name?” (Proverbs 30:4). The answer is Christ. Eternal Word. True Light. Creator, Redeemer, and God with us.
