—John 1:1-14
by: Margaret Taylor.
In John 1 we are introduced to “the Word”: “the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (v.1). A word is a group of letters that designate a certain sound and a comprehensible bit of information. Then we see the words “Light” and “Life”. In verse 4, they are used synonymously, “the life was the Light.” These words imply awareness and comprehension. Jesus was God’s comprehensible information, sent to make us aware of His character and His will for us that we might know Him and the privilege of becoming His own children.
