In the Beginning / In the End

By Jennifer Brown

 

In the beginning... God.

In the beginning, God... created.

In the beginning, God created... everything.

In the beginning, God created everything... All things were made through Him. Not a single thing made was made without Him.

 

In the beginning... Jesus.

In the beginning, Jesus... was with God.

In the beginning, Jesus was with God... and was God.

In the beginning, Jesus was with God and was God... In Him was life. That life was the light of men.

  

After the beginning... man.

After the beginning, man... was created.

After the beginning, man was created... by God, who was one with Jesus.

After the beginning, man was created by God, who was with one with Jesus... in their image.

After the beginning, man was created by God, who was one with Jesus, in their image... without sin.

 

And woman also was created... from man.

And woman was also created, from man... by God who was one with Jesus, in their image.

And woman was also created, from man, by God, who was one with Jesus, in their image...without sin.

A short time after they were created... man and woman had a choice.

A short time after they were created, man and woman had a choice... they chose sin.

 

Immediately, their sin separated them from God.

They ran. They hid.

God found them.

Sin requires death.

God killed an animal. Death entered the world.

The blood of the animal provided the covering of their sin.

 

I am a sinner.

My sin separates me from God.

 

You are a sinner.

Your sin separates you from God.

 

Are you running from Him?

Are you hiding?

 

God has found you.

 

Sin requires death.

Your sin requires your blood.

Your sin requires your death.

 

God killed His son.

Jesus.

Who was with Him in the beginning.

Who is one with Him.

To provide the blood for your sin.

So you can live.

So you can be in His presence.

 

You have a choice.

Your blood and your death to pay for your sins.

Or Christ's blood and His death to pay for your sins.

 

What do you choose?

 

This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live... Deuteronomy 30:19
