John 1:1-5, 14
“I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.”
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it… And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.
John 1:1-5, 14
The gospel of John introduces Jesus as “the Word,” describing him as eternally existing from the beginning and participating in creation with God the Father, bringing light and grace and truth to the world.
As the Word, how does Jesus communicate God to us?
How has Jesus brought light and life to you? Where do you need light and life today?
Have you have had an experience that you would describe as glorious? How does that experience point to Jesus and reveal his grace and truth?
What can you do to shine the light of Christ today?
