In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. — John 1:1
God's Message of salvation was with him at creation. In fact, by nature, the one who was the Message was God himself. John wants us to know that Jesus, God's Word and ultimate Message, was with God from the very beginning. The one who turns water to wine, feeds the 5000, and raises Lazarus didn't make his human appearance on earth until he was born in Bethlehem, but he has always been there. He is God with us, as Matthew puts it (Matthew 1:23). He is God come to visit us as Luke tells us (Luke 7:16). He is the Son of God as Mark reminds (Mark 1:1). He is God's ultimate and final Word (Hebrews 1:1-2)!

Rest in Seven Aspects
. Creation Rest – Broken by Sin -Genesis 2:2

. Redemption Rest – Secured in Christ -Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing.”
New Creation
. A New Birth – It’s Entrance -John 3:3
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”
. A New Man -It’s Characteristic – Colossians 3:10
and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
