John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God.
Who’s the Word? What does he mean the Word was God? Picture
God as a head just a big floating head. God the Father is the brain, the
Holy Spirit is the eyes, and Jesus is the mouth. The Father thinks of
the need, the spirit sees where it can be applied, and Jesus proclaims
it into being.
So when we say “ In the beginning was the Word...” what we are
really saying is that Jesus, the holy spirit, and the Father are one.
Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth was more than just a
prophet, we believe he is God.

There are many claims that it’s all a bunch of baloney. But in
Acts 5:33-39, Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, a Pharisee, stood up in
front of all of his buddies and told everyone to “ Leave these men
alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin it
will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men;
you will only find yourselves fighting against God.” Since then,
Chrisianity has only grown.
Even way back then people didn’t understand Christians. It’s all
about the personal relationship we can all have with Jesus, one on
one. We’ve all heard the old saying; “You’d know how I felt if you
walked a mile in my shoes...” Well Jesus has walked many miles in our
shoes, he knows how it feels to be human, and he knows how it feels
to live in this world.
Christianity is just a personal relationship with this guy Jesus;
our Lord and Savior, our buddy, our brother, our Father. This is the type
of intimate relationship that everyone can have; get to know Him and
you get to know God.
