WELCOME TO YEAR 2026

John 1:1 says,

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

*Breakdown in plain language*
- *“In the beginning”* – Points to a time before anything existed, the very start of everything.
- *“the Word”* (Greek: _Logos_) – Represents Jesus Christ, showing Him as the message, plan, and expression of God.
- *“was with God”* – Indicates a relationship—Jesus co‑existed with the Father.
- *“and the Word was God”* – States that Jesus is fully divine, sharing the same essence as God.

*Why it matters*
- It sets up Jesus as the divine creator and source of life (the next verses talk about light and life coming through Him).
- The verse bridges the Old Testament idea of God speaking things into existence (“Let there be…”) with the New Testament revelation of that “Word” becoming a person, Jesus Christ.

*Different angles*
- *Theological:* Highlights Trinity concept – one God, three persons.
- *Philosophical:* Logos connects to Greek philosophy (order, reason) and Jewish wisdom literature (Wisdom personified).
- *Devotional:* A reminder that truth and life are found in Christ, the ultimate expression of God’s love.

YOU SHALL SEE THE END OF THIS YEAR IN JESUS NAME

Matthew 5:6 (KJV) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

YOU ARE BLESSED

JESUS LOVES YOU
