In the Beginning
John 1:1-3
In the Gospel of Mark, the identity of Jesus slowly unfolds. Matthew and Luke give early revelations that they then build upon. John begins with full disclosure as to the identity of Jesus. He wants us to be utterly astonished and drawn into a profound sense of awe and worship. This is also seen in his clear reference to Genesis 1, “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
