We Need a Bigger Jesus

First, we’re told that “in the beginning the Word already was… He never began.” Jesus is “the unbegun one, the uncreated one,” existing “before there was a single atom,” eternal and immutable. Long before creation’s dawn, the Word stood “already in existence,” reminding us that “He had no beginning… He is the uncreated one.”

Next, John proclaims without hesitation that “the Word was God.” Scripture echoes this in Romans 9:5, Titus 2:13, and Hebrews 1:8, declaring Christ to be “our great God and Savior.” Every divine attribute—“infinite, eternal, unchangeable, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient”—belongs to Him. The Word possesses “the form of God, the image of God, the glory of God,” and thus reigns supreme over all creation.

Then we learn the Word “was with God.” This isn’t mere solitude but divine fellowship: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in eternal “withness.” Just as God created us for relationship—“It’s not good that you should be alone”—so His triune nature models perfect communion. In Christ, we’re invited into that same family, baptized “into a new communion” where “one rejoices and we rejoice together.”

Finally, in the fullness of time, “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” He entered our frail world fully human—“in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin”—vulnerable to hunger, pain, and even forsakenness on Golgotha, when “the Word was without God” so that sinners might “be with God forever.” The sermon closes with an appeal: receive this uncreated, unending Savior into your life now, and taste the joy of walking with Him always.
