From The Begining

In the begining was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was in the begining with God.  All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.  In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.  And the light shines in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
John 1: 1-5 NKJV

I heard a radio preacher the other day discuss a listener question of "who created God?"  Now, I feel that this well known preacher handled this question pretty well, using various scriptures to back up his point.  The truth is, this answer is written in Gods word not only in the begining of Genesis, but throughout the word as well.

In the begining God created the heavens and the earth.  The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. and the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Genesis 1: 1-2 NKJV

We read Genesis chapter 1, and our human nature, our curiosity begs the question, "who created God?"  Instead of accepting Gods word, we wonder if He has always been there.  I prefer to believe just as the scriptures tell us, that our Lord God has been with his creation from the begining, and even before that.  The fact is, these minds that God has blessed us with, cannot wholly comprehend the entire picture of our creator.  There are truths that have yet to be revealed to us.  Rest assured, in his timing, we will become aware of each and every question we've ever had.  However, I believe that this will not occur until we answer his call to return home with him.  I also believe that Gods word is true, and if our Lord was indeed a created being, that the scriptures would include this as part of their revelation  to us.

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Begining and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
Revelation 1:8 NKJV

The apostle John, having been exhiled to the Island of Patmos among the "Sporades" Island group of the Agean Sea for his testimony about the Lord Jesus.  It would seem that he had been a thorn in the side of the Roman occupiers.  In his day, Patmos was considered "Sterile" and not capable of producing life. I'm sure Johns captors thought this a fitting end for this firebrand of the holy gospel!  However, instead of being the crushing blow to the gospel I'm sure they were hoping for, God instead chose to take this opportunity to reveal himself to John, and us.  It is interesting that God chooses to introduce himself as the "Alpha and Omega" to our man John.  John would have understood this all too well, as Alpha and Omega are the begining and end of the Greek alphabet.  Gods message to John, "I am the begining and the end!"  I'm pretty sure that at this point John knows who he's dealing with.
I find it hard to comprehend that, in my limited time here in my Lords creation, that there is anything about me that is beyond Gods notice.

Have you not known?  Have you not heard?  The everlasting God, the LORD, The creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary.  His understanding is unsearchable.
Isaiah 40:28 NKJV

We may  not understand just why things are the way they are, but this isn't our concern.  That belongs to Him who created all that we see.
