St. John’s Confession of the Word

“In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God. From the very beginning the Word was with God. Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him. The Word was the source of life, and this life brought light to people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out.” John 1:1-5 GNB

May the LORD bless you from Zion! May you see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life! May you live to see your grandchildren! Peace be with Israel!”
