Passage.
John 1:1-18
Outline of Message: John the Apostle- The Word- John the Baptist- The Coming True Light- Jesus is made known
The Full picture: The Word made flesh
Understand the Significance of This passage - This is the beginning of Jesus earthly ministry.
The Apostle John and Background
John, Son of Zebedee who was formerly a fisherman in Galilee followed Jesus in faith with his brother James.
Location of John 1: Jordan River
John was one of the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ
John was a fisherman in Galilee
John was one of Jesus best friends.
The Word
It is no coincidence John writes this the same way Genesis was written.
John has a message through this Gospel just as every other one had a different one
Realize the message of John is that you might believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God
Paul is writing to unbelievers and Christians!
Unbelievers: Realize there is a way out of judgment in hell
Believers: Realize the power that you have in Jesus
“In Him was life”
(Go to Paralel verse)
Jesus came to give new life
“And the life was the light of men”
(Paralel)
What light are you looking for?
Is it: love, hope, happiness, friendship, family, peace
Every human being is searching for something.
When you go to the grocery store are you there to just walk around, or are you focused on your shopping list?
Shopping with my Aunt has always been an experience.
She had that list and I felt like I signed up for a marathon.
*Run*
Here’s a little bit what it looked like… grab this, “okay”- grab this, “okay”, grab this, “okay”
We are a consumer society.
We think we need something the others have.
Grab the new iphone- okay
Grab the new computer- okay
Listen to this new song- okay
All of these people want our eyes and attention.
But Jesus said, I am the light of the world
John The Baptist
John The Baptist enters our story
John’s purpose in life was to bear witness to Jesus.
He was taking part in the Great Commission.
Are you bearing witness to the Light?
Notice John the Baptist is not that light
Notice how the apostle John writes this...
He was not that light (Denial)
but (Contrast)
was sent
to bear witness of that light (Purpose)
Every Character in the Bible has one reason they are there- To Glorify God.
Why did the Apostle Paul use John the Baptist?
To bring back the glory to God.
The Coming True Light
The Light came to give light to everyone
The light is for everyone.
The world doesn’t know the light.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not

The light doesn’t hide itself it reveals.
(True Light)
The light gives power to be a son or daughter of God.
(Sons of God)
The light has a name.
(believe on His name)
John is building up this suspense of Old Testament references and truth’s about this light.
Never forget that the background of the whole church right now is division between Jews and Gentiles.
Without even saying Jesus name John is accounting for hundreds of years of prophecy that was being fulfilled here at the Jordan River.
John would have written this book towards the end of the first century leaving some years in between this story that he had witness that Jesus is God.
John saw a many things after John the Baptist and it was more than a story- it was a life pointing to Jesus.
Jesus Is Made Known
Notice the recurrence of the Word.
Theres something special about the Word.
The Apostle John is re-telling what he’s written already.
The Word Made Flesh
Dwelt Among Us
New Word: Glory
If “we have seen his glory,” no wonder there was no longer a need for the temple.
All that the temple meant was wrapped up in Jesus.
The glory of God, once sealed in the temple on penalty of death, was now opened up to all in Jesus.
This glory is further defined as “the glory of the one and only Son.”
In the KJV this was translated “the only begotten,” for the Greek term is monogenēs.
This can be used of an only child (Judg 11:34 LXX; Luke 7:12; Heb 11:17), but that is not the force here.
The components of the word are monos and ginomai, and here they mean “the only one of a kind,” stressing the uniqueness of “the one and only Son,” the God-man who alone shared the divine glory.
“Charles Spurgeon”
Jesus is one of a kind.
Full of Grace and Truth
The word grace is found 155 times in the New Testament
The word truth is found 110 times in the New Testament
Two things about God
He is gracious
He is Truth
He was before me
back to Genesis 1
No one has seen the full glory of God.
Think of all the glory of God we see just in Creation- which still doesn’t compare to his glory.
In the Bosom means in close relationship with the Father.
Jesus is God
Outline:
The Word that spoke Creation into existence was with and was God.
