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 came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
-John 1:1-3

The Word is Jesus Christ. The Word is the Saviour of the world, the Messiah, the Light, the Lamb who was slain. He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the One who was and is and is to come. In the beginning when God spoke the entire universe into existence, the Word was there. Not only was the Word present, but everything which God spoke into existence was created through Him. Without Him, God would have never spoke light, planets, stars, the world, or man into existence. In fact, without the Word, nothing would be in existence. The Word upholds and sustains the entire universe.

To think of the vastness of the universe, to ponder the size of the universe we live in, the millions of light years, the incredible amount of power and energy in just one star. To gaze upon the beauty of this fallen fragile planet, to pull out a microscope and to see the detail which has been put into the creation — and to think that the Word, the Christ, the Saviour upholds it all by the word of His power. How foolish it is to gaze on a small fraction of His creation and worship it rather than the One who sustains it.

“Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts,
The whole earth is full of His glory.”
-Isaiah 6:3
