—John 1:1-14
by: Gabrielle Watt.
There is a lot to unpack here. Over the past few weeks, we have been reading about a prophesied Messiah and the man who was going to prepare the way for Him. John’s Gospel begins by giving us a bit more insight into who the Messiah was. After reading the passage, it is evident that John uses “the Word” to refer to Jesus. In the first sentence, John stated that Jesus was God and also was with God, indicating He was also in some way separate from God. Why did John refer to Jesus as “the Word” and how does this passage help us to better understand who Jesus was?
