In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. He was sent from God as the true light, that shines in darkness. One with the Father, the Eternal Son of God; John the Baptist came as a witness to testify of Him. He was in the world, and though the world was made though Him, the world did not recognize Him. Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become Children of God.
John's gospel shows that Jesus is both God and Man in one person. Jesus is Lord the Great I AM. The Word became flesh and made His dwellings among us, and we beheld His Glory as of the only begotten Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. John announced Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Isaiah 40:3-5, John was sent to prepare the way for the Lord, he was the forerunner of the Lord Jesus Christ. Isaiah 53:7, He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not opened His mouth; He was led like a Lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent. Jesus Himself said, here after ye shall see heaven open and the angels of God a sending and desending upon the Son of Man
John affirms that the same word by which God Created the world in the beginning; and that word was not well received throughout history, so now in Jesus, it was not well received by His Country Men. He came to His own, and His own did not received Him. But as many as received Him to them He gave the power to become the Children of God, even to them that believe on His name. John saw and bare record that Jesus is the Son of God. The promised one,John 3:16, For God so Loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish bur have eternal life.
