John 1:1-2—In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.
The Trinity has always existed. Since the beginning of time, Father, Spirit,
and Son have simultaneously and singularly existed. We often see God referred to in the plural in
the Old Testament, evidencing that God is not and never has been a solitary
being – He is a God of relationship who in three make one. Jesus was never just some afterthought that
God decided to “create” to send down and save humanity from all our sins. Jesus has always been, and His coming to
Earth was always in the plan. This
passage of Scripture tells us that the Word was with God and the Word was
God. We know from other passages in the
Bible that the Word became flesh and walked among us – the flesh being
Jesus. It is sort of mind-blowing to
think that Jesus readily relinquished His safe and secure place with God the
Father and the Spirit to come to Earth so that He might know His Creation. And in all the years since His crucifixion,
resurrection, and ascension He has not left us alone. The Holy Spirit has been present with us
humans for millennia, now—a very real, palpable presence who is with us at all
times. They didn’t have to do this—they
didn’t have to come to Earth to be with us.
They didn’t have to save us. What
wondrous love God has for each and every one of us that He would meet us in the
midst of our struggles, pains, joys, and triumphs just to love and understand
us completely.
Today as you pray and meditate on His Word, praise God the
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for breathing you into existence and loving you
enough to be present with you at all times.
Worship God for their perfect plan laid out even at the very beginning
of time. Ask God to continue to open
your heart to ever more intimate relationship with them.
