Jesus in CreationBible verse: John 1:1-4Before the world began, there was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were made through him. Nothing was made without him. In him there was life.Jesus came to earth as a human being when he was born in Bethlehem, but he existed long before that. In fact, there is no moment in history when Jesus did not exist. In John 1:1, Jesus is called the ‘Word’. Jesus was with God when all things were made. When God created the world, Jesus was with him. When God created man and woman, Jesus was there. Why? Because Jesus is God. He will always be and has always been, even before the beginning began. How awesome is that?If you’re finding all of this a bit too much to take in, don’t worry. We’re not meant to understand God fully. If we could fully understand the mystery of God, he wouldn’t be God! The most important thing to know is that true life is found in Jesus.When we make the choice to follow Jesus, we become friends with the one and only all-powerful, all-knowing, forever-faithful God, who loves us more than we could ever imagine.READ MORE ABOUT IT: Read Genesis 1 and imagine Jesus being there as the world was made.•THINK: Read 2 Timothy 1:9 and Titus 1:2. Which phrase is repeated? What does this tell us about Jesus?•FEEL: Take off your shoes and walk barefoot on the grass or the sand, in the ocean or even on some soil or mud! Get close to the things God has created.•GET ACTIVE: Go stargazing! Wrap up warmly, grab some blankets and look up at the stars. See the wonder that God has made. You could even make a camp fire and toast marshmallows.
