December 19, 2023 – Quote for the Day:

ย โ€œIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.ย  He was with God in the beginning (John 1:1-2).ย  While many stories begin with the words โ€˜once upon a timeโ€™ Johnโ€™s Christmas story, about eternity invading human time and spaceโ€ฆ begins with the words โ€˜in the beginning.โ€™ ย Instead of telling us about โ€˜once upon a timeโ€™ the sense here is โ€˜once before time.โ€™ John writes about โ€˜in the beginningโ€™ โ€“ before time existed, before time began, before the creation of the world as we know it, and before God came into the world in the person of Jesusโ€ฆ He came from outside time into time.โ€ย
