Who is Jesus
Notes
Transcript
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
He is eternal
“In the beginning...” What a profound way to begin this Gospel. A call back to .
John is not saying that Jesus had a beginning, he is saying that Jesus is the beginning. Jesus is the Word, the very spoken communication of God. He was there before the beginning and we know this because He was with God. God is eternal so the very Word of God has to be eternal.
John also says that the Word “was” God. This word “was” means to “be” or to be or to have the quality of being. To put this in simpler terms, Jesus has the quality of being God. He has that quality of being because He is God. Absolutely, unmistakably, and unchangeably God.
He is Creator
He is light
He is God
