The Gospel of John, Chapter 1
Written by John the Revelator, one of Christ's disciples, this book has a different writing style and perspective than the other three Gospels. There are plenty of studies out there on the significance of each Gospel. I am just going to talk today about the first chapter.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. This first part of the chapter is about Jesus, of course. It testifies to the fact that Jesus is eternal, that Jesus is God but also with God (Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, are the same yet separate), that Jesus was part of the act of Creation, and that life and light have always been in Him and part of Him.
Verse 12 is powerful: But to all who receive Him, He gave them the right to be children of God, to those who believe in His name, who were born not of blood, or of the will of the flesh, or of the will of man, but of God.
This is a powerful chapter, and a powerful book testifying to the life of Jesus. There is so much in here, definitely worth a deeper study.
