The Word was God……..Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made

“The Word was God……..Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made” (John 1:2, 4)

   Primarily the portion of this Scripture is speaking about the process of creation. The Bible is telling us that all things were made by the Word of God. The Scripture is telling us among all the things that were created; nothing was made without the Word of God. Through Him all things were made. Here the pronoun ‘Him’ refers to the Word of God.

   The Word of God is the most important thing in the whole universe. The importance and significance of the Word of God can never be over emphasized. King David says in Psalm 138:2 “You have magnified Your word above all Your name”.

   Psalms 111:9 says “holy and reverend is His name”. While it is true that God’s name is holy and to be superlatively revered, the Word is exalted above the whole name of God. God made everything by His Word. Psalms 33:9 says “For He spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast”. Whenever God wanted to create something, He simply spoke! God’s almighty Word came out of His blessed mouth and accomplished what God wanted. That is the divine modus operandi.

   God has not changed! He works even today in the same way. Even today God does everything by His Word. When He wants to save the perishing souls, He speaks. When He wants the saved people to be perfected, He speaks the Word. When He wants His children to grow, He speaks. In order to work out the restitution of all things in the church, God speaks. When He wants to prepare the church for the coming of the Lord Jesus, He speaks.

   The only difference is that today God speaks through His anointed servants, His prophets. This generation has become a generation of mockers. The Bible says “there shall come in the last days scoffers” (2 Peter 3:3). These days we see people scoffing at the men of God who preach the Word of God. They always try to point out some flaws in the lives of the men of God. Men of God are men and not gods. They are men of course but not ordinary men. They are men- OF GOD.

   God is speaking through the men of God in this generation. And those who recognize the Voice of God and receive it and obey with due reverence will receive all the spiritual and material blessings. Blessed is the person who doesn’t scoff at the message of God proclaimed by His anointed prophets. May God give us the wisdom to recognize His Voice!
