John 1 - Introduction

PART I

THE PROLOGUE

CHAPTER John 1:1

THE ETERNAL NATURE AND INCARNATION OF THE WORD

1. The Logos is divine, pre-existent, eternal, and appears in His relation to God (John 1:2); to creation and providence (John 1:3); and as the life and light of humanity, which has become darkened by sin.

2. The Logos was made flesh, as all prophecy foretold (John 1:6); and He Himself as the inspirer of the prophetic word prepared the way for His appearing (John 1:9).

3. The Logos is the revelation of the Father (John 1:14).
