Walking through the Bible: John 1:14

John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John is preparing to transition into the more historical aspects of his Gospel, the events of Jesus life, and so it is appropriate [...]

Walking through the Bible: John 1:10-13

John 1:10-13
He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children [...]

Walking through the Bible: John 1:6-9

John 1:6-9
There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to every [...]

Walking through the Bible: John 1:5

John 1:5
The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

_________________________________________________________________
The verse concludes the initial intro to the Gospel of John.  These first five verses fit quite nicely together, setting up the rest of the chapter.  All five deal greatly with the deity of Christ, but also with role of Christ as [...]

Walking through the Bible: John 1:4

John 1:4
In him was life, and that life was the light of men.

In one way, John is now foreshadowing the purpose of Christ.  He will go on to explain in Chapter 1 all about the light.  And I believe we should get the picture of the magnitude of what John is saying.  Imagine a dark [...]

Walking through the Bible: John 1:3

John 1:3
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

_____________________________________________________________________
John continues to build on each prior verse.  In verse 1, he presents this idea of logos, Jesus as the Word.  What we then find in verse 2 is a confirmation of the separate aspects of two of the persons [...]

Walking through the Bible: John 1:2

John 1:2
He was with God in the beginning.

_____________________________________________________________________
Building on the first verse (commented on here), John here transitions from a description of God in the use of the word logos, which is not immediately clear that he is referencing Jesus, to the use of “He.”  John still has not identified Jesus, but it is clear [...]

Walking through the Bible: John 1:1

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

_____________________________________________________________________
This is perhaps my favorite verse in the Bible.  This verse, more than any other, packs some theological weight.  Even those new to the Bible, having only a cursory understanding of the text, would most likely still harken back to the [...]

ProclaimtheTruth’s take:
First things first, let’s be clear. I am not necessarily for the presentation of Creation Science in public schoolrooms. Why would I? A public teacher most like would simply impugn it anyway. That being said, why should we not allow open discussion? [...]
