Reflections at Christmas 2

John 1:2, “He was in the beginning with God.”

The intangible Word of God now takes shape before us. The Word is a personality, present and in perfect unity with the Father from eternity past to eternity future. The Lord, our God, is One, indivisible. The Word that decrees a thing and it is done; the Word that upholds the world; the Word by which all words are judged was present before time and ever lives to make intercession for us.

Right now, the Word is interceding for you. The Word that formed you and knew you before you were born is presenting all of Himself, in all of His creative power, before God on your behalf. As the Word, He is not praying without knowledge. No, He was there at the very beginning. He knows the threads of time that bind you to all that came before, and He is praying with an intimate knowledge of you. You are more than a passing whisper on His lips.

It is a Word that not only speaks existence but abundance. It is a Word of success, not failure; of acceptance, not rejection; a Word that gives a future and a hope. The Word has formed a prayer that encompasses your life and is drawing you to its eternal origin. He is drawing you back to the Father whose love released the Word so that you would not perish but have everlasting life.
