In the beginning was the Word

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

"The same was in the beginning with God.

"All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

"In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

"And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."

                                                                              -- John 1:1-5


I am moved by how John starts his testament with such a simple yet elegant description of Christ's eternal role and His relationship to His (and our) Father.
