John 1:1-5

God walked on this earth, lived with His creation and delivered the Truth to all who would listen. The darkness in man  was allowed to overcome the Light  for  a moment in time to save all of us  through the sacrifice that only He was capable of giving.... His birth, His death on the cross and His resurrection. For God so loved the world that He gave His life in exchange for ours to overcome the finality of death and evil so that we could have life eternal with Him. Amazing grace!!

The Word was God. The word order in Greek shows that the Word was “God,” not “a god.” This is a straightforward declaration of Christ’s deity, since John uses Word to refer to Jesus. The Word was of the very quality of God, while still retaining His personal distinction from the Father. Neither the Person of Christ, nor His Sonship, came into being at a point in time. Rather, the Father and the Son have always been in loving fellowship with one another.

God the Father created the world (Gen. 1:1) through God the Son (Col. 1:16; Heb. 1:2). All creation was made through Him. Thus He is the Creator God. Humans are dependent on God for life. Our existence, spiritually and physically, depends on God’s sustaining power. In contrast, the Son has life in Himself from all eternity. The life, Jesus Christ, is also the light of men. Death and darkness flee when the life and light enter. The dead are raised and the blind receive their sight, both physically and spiritually.

Humans did not appropriate or understand the light, nor did they overtake or overpower it. Although Satan and his forces resist the light, they cannot thwart its power. In short, Jesus is life and light; those who accept Him are “sons of light”. As the creation of light was the beginning of the original creation (Gen. 1:3), so when believers receive the light, they become part of the new creation (2 Cor. 4:3–6).

John 1:1-5

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² He was in the beginning with God. 

³ All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. ⁴ In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. ⁵ And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
