In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:1-5 ESV)
Many of us who are old enough know the song "He was There All the Time," which reminds us that whatever struggles come into our lives, the Lord is always there, even when we are oblivious to it. That is consistent with the fact that Christ has been there all the time. We did not have to wait for Him to come to earth and then grow up; He has always been. But there is something of total importance that He has now come into the world - His light shines on our darkness. His salvation has been revealed. We have the golden opportunity to receive Him and be received into God's family.
