John 1: 1-13
The Word of Life
1 In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 From the very beginning the Word was with God. 3 Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him. 4 The Word was the source of life, and this life brought light to people. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out.
6 God sent his messenger, a man named John, 7 who came to tell people about the light, so that all should hear the message and believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came to tell about the light. 9 This was the real light—the light that comes into the world and shines on all people.
10 The Word was in the world, and though God made the world through him, yet the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to his own country, but his own people did not receive him. 12 Some, however, did receive him and believed in him; so he gave them the right to become God's children. 13 They did not become God's children by natural means, that is, by being born as the children of a human father; God himself was their Father.
God commanded:
“Let there be light”.
Word from the beginning,
Word from before the beginning.
Word in the world,
Word unrecognised by the world.
Word of light,
Word that illuminates the dark places.
Word that rises from the dark tomb,
Word that speaks in the early light of dawn.
Word that rises like the sun,
Word that leads us through the day.
Word that shines,
Word that shows us our path.
Word of God,
light eternal,
inextinguishable,
penetrating our very being,
shining through us
to be a light to the nations.
Let there be light.
Let the light of Easter morning shine in our lives.
Jesus said to her, “Mary”.
Let us hear our name spoken in love,
let our ears and eyes be opened,
let us walk in the light.
