Tonight I read John 1.
There is one major point I want to discuss. It shows up in verse two. Verse two reads:
"He was with God in the beginning."
I do not know how anyone else interprets it, but I believe it says that Jesus was always with God. God had always had the plan of sending our Savior. He had Jesus with him, so when Jesus was born, he really in a sense wasn't born, but born again in human form. Because of him, and God's plan, we will also one day be born again, but not as humans, but in heaven. God has planned each and every one of our lives. God had a destiny for Jesus: dying for us, and has plans for us.
The second point I believe is shown by John the Baptist in this chapter. He refuses to be called Christ as he is not. He tells that God sent him to prepare the world for Jesus. I feel like all Christians must have gotten carried away while sharing faith. John however did not. He did not make himself a Christ figure. He wasn't. But, we as believers in God sometimes feel like we're superior to non-Christians, when we're not. We're all sinners. It's something all Christians need to stop. We feel like we're better that non-Christians, but if we believe this to be true, we're worse.
