In the beginning was the Word and the Word was of God, and the WORD WAS GOD! John 1:1
Everlasting Father, you are the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the One Mighty, Holy and Immortal God. Your Splendor and Majesty is unexplainable and beyond human comprehension. You were, are and ever will be, God of God, Light of light and the Ruler and Creator of the Firmament. Your Word was you and with you, before the beginning of time and you showed and manifested your Word into flesh, to save your created, sinful, human beings.
Father, you are absolute and perfect divinity, the essential nature of the Word. By the incarnation of your Word you displayed your majestic creation of the self-revealing Word for the otherwise futile removal and termination of the stain of sin, taking on its form and destroying it on the Cross of your ultimate sacrifice for the salvation and illumination of humanity, through the incarnation of your Holy Word. The Word which is your very Spirit, in you and with you through all eternity.
Our Saviour Jesus Christ, your Word incarnate, came into this world in lowly human flesh, since his mission was to rescue and reconcile us to you, by revealing your Holy Will, by speaking for you, and as you. He came into the world to dwell as Jesus the Saviour, for he had come to save his people from their sins. Father, the Creator, your beloved Son, our Redeemer is the Way, the Truth and the Life and Light of the world, through Whom our righteousness will give us hope of Salvation, the Second person of the Triune Godhead, living and reigning with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forevermore. Amen
