Storyteller
by Terry Wildman



At first there was the Great Story-teller.
Story-teller was face to face with Creator
and was the same as Creator.
Story-teller made everything there is.
Nothing was made except by Him.
Life was in Him and shined its light
on all human beings.
Light shines in the darkness.
The darkness cannot put it out.
The true light that shines on everyone
was coming to all people in the world.
Even though he made all people,
not everyone recognized him.
Even his own tribe did not honor or welcome him.
But whoever did put their trust in him
he gave them their birthright;
to be children of Creator.
Their birth was not the result
of a human father’s plans
but of Creator’s purpose.
Story-teller became a human being
and lived as one of us.
We saw how honorable he was;
the kind of honor that comes
from being an only son to a father;
one who is fully trusted and favored.
From his goodness we have all had
goodwill poured out on us.
No one has ever seen Creator.
But the Only-born-Son
the one who is closest to Grandfather’s heart,
he has shown us what he is like.
