In the beginning God
created the heavens
and the earth.

In the beginning (before all time) was the Word (Christ).
(John 1:1 Amp)
The Word, which gives life! He existed from the beginning. We have heard him, we have seen him with our eyes, we have contemplated him, we have touched him with our hands!

we should love one another.

and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

(Isaiah 40:28 NIV)
Can you tie up the cords of the beautiful Pleiades or loosen the belt of Orion? Can you lead out the constellations of the zodiac in their season or guide the Great Bear and its cubs? Do you know the laws of the sky? Can you determine how they affect the earth?
(Job 38:31-33 CJB)
