as the beginning was written,
Christ’s story unfolding,
God himself, light,
entered this world...
 
in the presence of light
God speaking to them,
They chose the darkness,
leading others to destruction...
 
Light stood among them,
offering them salvation,
But they mocked the truth,
believing the lies of the flesh...
 
God stood in the courts of the Temple,
the long-prayed-for Messiah...
Christ spoke plainly,
stating who He is...
 
They believed the lies of Satan,
judgment ripe within them...
They rejected Christ Jesus
standing in their midst...
