John 1:2
“The same was in the beginning with God.”
What does John 1:2 mean?
In the very start of everything, before time itself began, the Word (Jesus) was already present with God the Father. This tells us that Jesus wasn't created at some point in history, but existed eternally as a distinct person in relationship with God. The phrase emphasizes both Jesus's timelessness and his closeness to God, suggesting an intimacy that has no beginning. For those wrestling with who Jesus really is, this verse grounds the answer in something beyond our normal experience of time and creation.
