From beginning to end...

The Word...In the beginning, God, created the heavens and the earth...


No internet, no planes or trains...
Just rocks and soil, mountains and valleys, trees and plants, rivers, lakes and oceans,
animals, on and in the earth, in the water and in the air...
Back then there were no palaces or limousines, no radio programs or satellite launches...
no slums or iPads...
In the beginning, was the perfect Word: Salvation, Yeshua, Jesus.
We had Him among us for a season until He died, nailed to a tree.
He was raised from the dead on the third day, as the Scriptures say.
This Word comes down through time to you.
Believe and confess and one day, maybe soon, you will be raised with Him.
Rejoice and give thanks.
