! John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
/The testimony of John/
If your are going to testify its is about something that happen to you.
Intro:
John writes the one of the gospels, he takes up his pen and begins to write.
He must have look back and reflected on stories that his father Zechariah had told him about his maraculs brith.
The story when he
Zechariah was in the sanctuary when an angel of the Lord appeared, standing to the right of the incense altar.
And Zechariah was overwhelmed with fear.
But the angel said, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah!
For God has heard your prayer, and your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son!
And you are to name him John.
You will have great joy and gladness, and many will rejoice with you at his birth, for he will be great in the eyes of the Lord.
He must never touch wine or hard liquor, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even before his birth.
And he will persuade many Israelites to turn to the Lord their God.
He will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah, the prophet of old.
He will precede the coming of the Lord, preparing the people for his arrival.
He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and he will change disobedient minds to accept godly wisdom.”
Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I know this will happen?
I’m an old man now, and my wife is also well along in years.”
Then the angel said, “I am Gabriel!
I stand in the very presence of God.
It was he who sent me to bring you this good news!
And now, since you didn’t believe what I said, you won’t be able to speak until the child is born.
For my words will certainly come true at the proper time.”
Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah to come out, wondering why he was taking so long.
When he finally did come out, he couldn’t speak to them.
Then they realized from his gestures that he must have seen a vision in the Temple sanctuary.
He stayed at the Temple until his term of service was over, and then he returned home.
Soon afterward his wife, Elizabeth, became pregnant and went into seclusion for five months.
“How kind the Lord is!” she exclaimed.
“He has taken away my disgrace of having no children!”
It’s is always good to look back on your life every now and then, you just don’t know what you will remember something might just cause you to think about where you’ve been and what God has brought you out of.
You might start looking at other people a little different.
John starts first by saying in the beginning
Where better place to start then where it all started
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 1:2-5
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.
And the evening and the morning were the first day.

*/archeµ/* [*/archaéŒos/* [old, ancient],

Active a. “to rule,” b. “to begin”; middle “to begin.”
1.
The active occurs in the NT only in
Mark 10:42
42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
Romans 15:12
12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
and means “to rule.”
Jesus relativizes all earthly rule, finding true power only in God.
2. The middle is more common, especially in Luke, usually as a kind of auxiliary verb signifying “indeed” or “moreover,” but sometimes in a more pregnant sense, as in
John 13:5; 2 Cor.
3:1 (the only instance in Paul); 1 Pet.
4:17.
