Before anything else existed, there was Christ, with God. He has always been alive and is himself God. This inspiring introduction of John carries us back to the account given in Genesis of the beginning of all things. The passage declares that at that time, before creation, the Word existed, was with God and separate from him, but was God, or divine.
This deep and elaborate address concerning the divine Word, almost too deep for human understanding, was penned by John on account of certain false philosophies which began to creep into and to trouble the church. This passage then affirms that the person afterwards manifests as the Christ existed before creation began; that he was present with God; that he was divine; that he was the Word; and, that by or through him were all things made that were made.
