At the start of his Gospel, John sets the familiar Christmas story aside, describing instead the fundamental truths to which Jesus’ incarnation points. As he asserts, the same God who has created and sustained the world also came to earth as a man to rescue sinful people. He has revealed Himself and offered us hope. While accepting these truths can be challenging, Alistair Begg acknowledges, we must consider them carefully, that we might receive God’s gift of salvation.
1aIn the beginning was bthe Word, and cthe Word was with God, and dthe Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3eAll things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4fIn him was life,1 and gthe life was the light of men. 5hThe light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6There was a man isent from God, whose name was jJohn. 7He came as a kwitness, to bear witness about the light, lthat all might believe through him. 8mHe was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
9nThe true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet othe world did not know him. 11He came to phis own,2 and qhis own people3 rdid not receive him. 12But to all who did receive him, swho believed in his name, the gave the right uto become vchildren of God, 13who wwere born, xnot of blood ynor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
14And zthe Word abecame flesh and bdwelt among us, cand we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son4 from the Father, full of dgrace and etruth.
