the Word was with God<\/strong> <strong> and the Word was God<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">The all knowing, ever present, completely able, never tiring, perfectly caring, absolutely pure, never faltering or failing or forgetting, always, always, always faithful God!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><strong>He was with God in the beginning<\/strong> because he was God with no beginning and no ending<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Eternally existing, the Father of time, the Ruler of the ages, author of millennia and milliseconds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><strong>Through him all things were made<\/strong> <strong>Without him nothing was made that has been made<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">When his mouth opened galaxies rushed into place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Uncounted billions upon trillions of stars exploded into brilliant existence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">He didn&#8217;t break a sweat!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">When his tongue moved trees burst through the soil<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Cedars, redwoods, sequoia entire forests waving their branches together in a symphony orchestrated by the Master composer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">When his vocal chords vibrated the seas rippled with dolphins and orcas, swordfish and sharks<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">From the grand scale of the Blue Whale to the innate intricacies of the Seahorse<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">When his lips came together the condor&#8217;s magnificent pinions unfolded and swept him away on currents of warm air<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">And the delicate wings of the hummingbird began to whir.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><strong>In him was life<\/strong> <strong> and that life was the light of all mankind<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">When the Word

true light that gives life to everyone was coming into the world<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">The unimaginable grandeur of the unlimited, unrestrained, undying, uncreated

concerns of tomorrow<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">What to eat and what to wear and how to pay the bills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">No, they wouldn&#8217;t mind a Savior<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">One who could feed them and cloth them and pay the bills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><strong>He came to that which was his own<\/strong> <strong>But his own did not receive him<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Too many too concerned with religious functions<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Too many too comfortable with their powerful positions<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Too few who could see through the man-made superstitions<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Too busy justifying their behavior<\/p>\n<p

style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">No prescribed prayers or perfunctory performances to impress man.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Just believe!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Not belief for belief&#8217;s sake but belief in the truth of the Word.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Belief that sin is your greatest problem<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Belief that man is

world had known<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Took place in a stable and not on a throne.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Jesus didn\u2019t need stalking stuffers<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Or soft new flannel covers,<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">He came bearing the greatest gifts there could ever be<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">He brought the grace to forgive sins and the truth to set us free.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">He came to bring real life and light<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">To give hope to the dying and make broken hearts right.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">He came to suffer and die on a tree<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">The ultimate sacrifice for you and me.<\/p>\n<p
