John 1:1-28
Who is Jesus? This is the most important question everyone must answer. The way one answers this question determines their eternal destiny. John jumps right in helping people understand who Jesus is and thus, how to answer this question. John begins his gospel earlier than Matthew and Luke. He does not start with Jesus' birth, or even with Adam and Eve, he starts back before anything had been created. He goes back to the "beginning." At this time there was only the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in perfect harmony and unity. John gives us a glimpse into this reality and then puts the spotlight directly on "the Word."
The English “Word” translates the Greek word “logos,” which, according to the standard Greek Dictionary, means the “independent personified expression of God which took on human form in a historical person, that is, in Jesus”. The Son has always existed, but revealed himself to us in taking on flesh. He is, and always has been, existent, God, creator, life, light, glorious, and gracious. Not only is he the “Word,” but he is the creator of both physical life and spiritual life. Nothing exists that has not come through him, the source of all blessing, grace, and truth. As we consider this description of Jesus, we discover how desperate we are for him. There is no life without him. There is no relationship with God apart from him. He is the one we need, and he is the one our world needs.
Father God, thank you for the gift of your Son. Help me to walk with him and experience him today. Amen.
