'The same was in the beginning with God.'
When was the beginning? We do not know. Our minds cannot understand such a thing. But whenever it was Jesus was there. He was with God, before anything was created. He was not created like you and I. Jesus is God. He is the essence of God. What God is, so is he.
Throughout the ages there have been many sects that have claimed that Jesus is a creature like you and I, but the idea is farcical. How can a creature be the perfect Son of God?
We are born in sin - selfish, compromised, mortal.
Jesus's sacrificial love, his perfect suffering, his boundless love was pleasing to God. How can an imperfect creature do something so great that he could pay the rice for the sins of this world, to set us free from the chains of sin and guilt?
Jesus Christ was in the beginning with God.
