“Where did Jesus come from?”
Before there was ever a Jesus of Nazareth, there was the
Word. This is one of the names the writers of the Bible use to describe
the Pre-Incarnate Christ.
The Pre-Incarnate Word
John speaks of “the Word”, who “was
with God” and who “was
God”. The Word made all things that have been made, without
exception, which means the Word existed not just at creation, but prior to
it. Since nothing that was made was made without him, that must include Satan. Satan
is not any old created
being. He was the “anointed
guardian cherub” who served in heaven before his fall. Thus it is evident
the Word was operating in eternity well before the rest of creation was brought
into existence.
