Leaping over the Word "Was"

One of the most breathtaking passages in all of the Gospels was our focus for this final Sunday of Christmas: The first chapter of John. "In the beginning, " John writes, "was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning." What can we learn about Jesus-- about the persons of the Trinity-- from John? And, to paraphrase one of the Church Fathers, "...how can the mind leap over the word 'was'?" Take a look at the Scripture for the day and join us.
