“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.” John 1:1-2 HCSB
The Word is Jesus.

Jesus was with God in the beginning to create the world and Man.
“What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have observed and have touched with our hands, concerning the Word of life —”
1 John 1:1 HCSB

Jesus walked with the 12 disciples and what they experienced through Jesus they publicly testified to the world. Now Jesus is with us today. He was there in the begging of our lives (Psalm 139:13). He was with us at conversion to draw us to God through the Holy Spirit (John 16:7-8). He is with us today. He will be with with us past the end of this world (Matthew 28:10). We will be with Him in heaven (1Thessalonians 4:17). Jesus is always with us.

This is a great reminder for all of us. Jesus is always with us, when we yell at the kids, when we cheat on our diet, when we do anything we know we shouldn't. While we are only human, if we keep this lesson in mind, we will change the way we act and become more like Jesus.
