TODAY'S LESSON
John 1:1-3, 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 nothing was made that was made.
The words “in the beginning” appear in the first verse of the first book of the Bible, Genesis. What is remarkable about this Scripture is this: We learn that Jesus is greater than creation itself. He is greater because He is God, He is God the Son, and He is God the Creator.
“All things were made through him.” The important message here is that anything God has created, God can change, fix, and restore. Apple and Samsung make great products, but you don’t send something from Samsung to Apple for repair.
In our world, people consistently make the mistake of looking to sources other than God for guidance, repair, and encouragement. This Scripture makes it abundantly clear the truth that Jesus Christ is much, MUCH more than we think.
The next verse is where we want to land today: “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” (John 1:4)
Our lives are made better by His light.
Reflection question: In what areas do you need to look to Christ as your source more than looking at created things?
