"In the beginning was the Word ..."   ~ John 1:1  
January 4,2015

Creation is an ongoing act of God.  Unleashed in the beginning, the creating power of God continues to bring forth new form and meaning in all the world, in all life; all the while, continuing to reveal the goodness of God.  In scope it's as vast as the accelerating expansion of the universe, and as intimate as the growth in grace and wisdom we experience in daily living.  John's Gospel reveals the incarnation of Christ as a new genesis in the ongoing creating work of God.  The wisdom of God is celebrated as unconquerable light shining in the darkness and as the One who comes to continue that work of revelation and creation in the lives of all who will follow.  In Christ, we too are a new creation.  The old is gone; the new has come.
