In the first 5 verses of this section we see that Jesus was in the beginning, the Word of God, the maker of all things and the light of men. One principle we learn from this section is:
- Jesus is the only true light in this dark World.
In verses 6 through 13 we see that John was sent from God to testify about Jesus, but when Jesus came He was rejected by the Jews and accepted by others who became children of God. Out of this passage we see the principle that:
- Those who receive Christ and believe in his name will become children of God.
In the last 5 verses of John 1:1-18 we learn that Christ is glorious, full of grace and truth and he came to earth to make God known. Out of this section we see this principle revealed:
- The life, death and resurrection of Christ reveals the Glory of God, His grace and His truth.
Consider these questions as you go through your day today and go back to them frequently for the rest of the week...
Do you consider yourself part of the Light or part of the Darkness that is the World? How do you know? What would others say about you if they were asked this question?
How is your life different from that of the unbelieving world and in what ways is it glorifying to God?
Are you a child of God?
How does your life reveal the glory of God?
For further reading move on to John 1:19-51
