2/9/25 Stacy Long-Sin Shattering Logos

In this profound exploration of John 1:1, we're challenged to rethink our understanding of God's presence in our lives and the world. The central message revolves around the concept of the 'Logos' - the Word that was with God and was God from the beginning. This powerful imagery reminds us that God's presence permeates everything, even in the darkest corners of our existence. We're encouraged to abandon the Platonic view of a distant, untouchable God and embrace the biblical truth of His omnipresence. This shift in perspective has profound implications for how we view ourselves, others, and our relationship with God. It challenges us to recognize that we can never truly be alone or abandoned, as God's sustaining presence is always with us, holding our very molecules together. This realization should inspire gratitude, humility, and a deeper awareness of God's constant involvement in our lives. As we internalize this truth, we're called to resist sin, treat others with compassion, and approach our faith journey with a renewed sense of God's intimate involvement in every aspect of our being.
