John 1:1 says, " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John uses the imperfect verb eimi translated âwasâ to describe continuous action in the past. So the verse could read: âIn the beginning always existed the Word.â By saying âIn the beginningâ âThe Logos [Word] did not then begin to be, but at that point at which all else began to be, He already wasâ (The Expositorâs Bible Comm.). J.C. Ryal said, âHe had no beginning. He was before all things. There never was the time when He was notâ (Expository Thoughts on John 1, 4). Jesus said He was with God before the creation of the world when He prayed in John 17:5, âAnd now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You, before the world was.â In Hebrews 7:3, the writer of Hebrews describes Melchizedek as âwithout father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.â He was with God (vv.1b-2). John says, âand the Word was with God...He was in the beginning with Godâ (vv.1b-2). Here John gives us a glimpse of the glory of Jesus. He says that Jesus was literally face-to-face with God. He âwasâ (eimi, imperfect verb) âwith God.â âWith Godâ in Greek is pros ton theon. This phrase means far more than merely that the Word existed with God; it â[gives] the picture of two personal beings facing one another and engaging in intelligent discourseâ (W. Robert Cook, The Theology of John, 49). âFrom all eternity Jesus, as the second person of the trinity, was âwith the Father [pros ton patera]â (1 John 1:2) in deep, intimate fellowshipâ (John MacArthur, John 1-11, 17). The Scriptures affirm Jesus had this kind of relationship with the Father. He said in John 8:58, âBefore Abraham was, I AM.â Listen again to John 17:5 which says, âAnd now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.â My friend, Jesus is God. There is no other way to put it. Examine the Scriptures for yourself and see if this is not true.
