I believe He did. The phrase "the Word" (a translation of the Greek word "Logos") is widely interpreted as referring to Jesus, as indicated in other verses later in the same chapter. So, I believe that John:1-1 could just as easily say “In the beginning was Jesus, and Jesus was with God, and Jesus was God”.

Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
