John 1:1\u00a0 <\/span>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 any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 8:22-31<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThe LORD possessed me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old.\u00a0\u00a0Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth.\u00a0\u00a0When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water.\u00a0\u00a0Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth,\u00a0\u00a0before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world.\u00a0\u00a0When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,\u00a0\u00a0when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep,\u00a0\u00a0when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,\u00a0\u00a0then I was beside him, like a master workman, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always,\u00a0\u00a0rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the children of man.<\/p>\n

Colossians 1:17<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.<\/p>\n

Hebrews 1:10<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0And, \u201cYou, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands;<\/p>\n

Psalms 33:6<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host.<\/p>\n

Isaiah 45:12<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0I made the earth and created man on it; it was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host.<\/p>\n

John 8:12<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, \u201cI am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We think of Jesus Christ as our redeemer and savior.\u00a0 <\/span>We trust in God\u2019s Word that says He sent His Son into the world to redeem the lost and whosoever believes in Him will have eternal life.\u00a0 <\/span>Do you ever give thought to where He came from?\u00a0 <\/span>It may give you a greater appreciation for His love for you.\u00a0 <\/span>Before the beginning and before creation and before heavenly hosts, earth, and living plants and creatures Jesus Christ was.\u00a0 <\/span>He existed in eternity.\u00a0 <\/span>He is Holy, Pure, and True. He willingly came to earth, taking on the form of man, healed the sick, blind, deaf, lame, paralyzed, dead, proclaimed the day of salvation, suffered, died, and rose again all for the single purpose – to redeem the lost and give hope to the perishing.\u00a0 <\/span>Think about the grace, mercy, and love He displayed for you.\u00a0 <\/span>For certain you did not deserve this gift of eternal life but in and through His power, might, and love He came and bore your sins so that you might have eternal life.<\/p>\n

When things around you are falling apart and there seems to be no reason for you to rejoice and give praise to Jesus Christ remember who it is that gave His life just for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
