John starts his gospel by echoing the beginning of Genesis, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” His words are very mysterious, aren’t they? However, it’s clear in the rest of the Bible’s teachings that God guided John to write these words. This amazing mystery shows that God is God, and I’m not. As a result, my puny mind can’t fully comprehend him. I accept the mystery that the future Jesus and the Father are both God and yet one God, as John says.
