In this study of John 1:1-5, we dive deep into the profound identity of Jesus as the eternal Word of God. We're challenged to see Jesus not just as a historical figure or moral teacher but as the pre-existent, divine Creator of all things. The parallel drawn between Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1 reveals the seamless connection between the Old and New Testaments, showing that Jesus is the fulfillment of God's eternal plan. This perspective invites us to approach Jesus with a sense of awe and reverence, recognizing Him as fully God and worthy of our complete devotion. As we contemplate Jesus as the source of all life and light, we're encouraged to find our purpose in reflecting His glory and to trust in His ability to overcome the darkness in our lives and in the world.
