The first paragraph (John 1:1-3) that John the Apostle wrote has to be one of the most incredible paragraphs ever written. The favorite disciple describes Jesus Christ's origins and man's problem in an extraordinary economy of words. The "Word" describes God's communication with man. This Word was Jesus the Christ who was with God in eternity past. However, this Word also became man at the incarnation. (Incarnation = God being born. God taking on flesh and walking among us.) His presence as Creator among His Creation seems as if it should have demanded automatic acceptance. But John tells us that His own didn't receive Him. His own, being the Jews, rejected Jesus, their Messiah. Some people, these days, are talking about AI (artificial intelligence) taking over the world. Machines, created by men and women, are already able to respond to our questions. If you haven't heard Google, Alexa, or Ciri answering your comments, you may not be up to snuff on all
