Hello Everyone,
As I said yesterday John spent the first 14 verses of his book to paint us the entire picture of God’s salvation plan for mankind.
Today the first thing that we see is:
GOD’S STRONG DESIRE TO COMMUNICATE WITH MAN
We see a movement in this passage - John tells us in (John 1:1-3):
"1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made."
God and His Word - Jesus - they are eternal. They’ve been there from the beginning. John takes us further back than the book of Genesis - Genesis tells us what God did in the beginning, John gave us a snapshot of God before He created anything.The first picture we see of Jesus Christ is this - He is God. He is Eternal, infinite, and uncreated. He is the Creator, for "through Him all things were created".
Genesis tells us God spoke and the world was created... All things were created through the Word. In Him was life - in other words, all living things - including you and me - exist today because of Him.
He sustains life in this universe, therefore without Him nothing exists.And then as you read on, John painted a movement...
v.5 "the light shines in the darkness...."
v.9 "the true light... was coming into the world." And then...
v.10 "He was in the world..."
v.11 "He came to that which was His own..."
v.14 "The Word became flesh..."
The Creator came into His creation - the world He made. The Creator became flesh and made His dwelling among His creatures.
And the Word is none other than Jesus the Son of God!
All for Jesus
