The Preexistent Word

by Alistair Begg

John 1:1–5
 (ID: 2417)

In the opening of his Gospel, John declared a series of specific truths about Christ. With unique language reminiscent of the opening of Genesis, he showed that Jesus has existed for eternity, functions in perfect relationship with the Father, and is actually God Himself. As Alistair Begg walks us through this passage, he reminds us that while we often get distracted during the Christmas season, we should make time to examine Christ and the extraordinary blessings of His incarnation.
