“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.” John 1:1-3 ESV
John a close disciple of Jesus wrote the fourth and last installment of the Gospels.
He started his gospel unlike any other of the accounts. No birth narrative Very stylishly linguistic And he brought it all the way back to the garden.
You would be shocked at how much of the Bible points back to the garden of Eden.
This is where the drama began. Our failure as humans filled our world with violence, chaos, and a separation from our creator.
But from the very beginning God made a promise that He wouldn’t leave it that way. God made a promise that someone would rise up out of humanity and even though it would be painful, He would crush evil underneath His feet
 “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."” Genesis 3:15 ESV
This promise is further extended through the patriarch Abraham when God promised Him that he would bless the entire world through his offspring.
“I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies, and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."” Genesis 22:17-18 ESV
So people waited in expectation for a savior. Constantly looking for Hope with someone new coming to power.
Moses- Nope David- Nope Solomon- Nope
King after king Failure after failure.
By the time Jesus is born on the scene. People are frustrated and waiting for their Savior to come End it now.
When Jesus came everyone around him was expecting the Messiah to be THE END of something. The end of the Roman Empire The end of oppression The end of suffering Turns out the only thing physical in this world that ENDED, was Jesus‘s life.
And this gave us something We didn’t expect.
We were all expecting “the end“
And what we got was a beginning.
God is doing something new, and he began it with Jesus✅🙌🏻
 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 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, 4-5 ESV
Many people look for the second coming of Jesus to be the end.
RING THEM BELLS
In the End it was the Beginning
