1 | A Study of John's Gospel. | John 1:1 | Rainbow Maker | 39875 | ||
Hi Cynthia, I am glad you are joining me: 4: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. In the beginning was Jesus, the Word,he was with God in the beginning and this Jesus was/is God Himself. This Word, Jesus entered into this world of time and came to live with humanity/Israelites. The incarnation is so crucial, that we have someone who came to share our humanity so that He might pay the penalty for our sins by dying in our place. A God could not do this, only the God man Jesus was qualified. We shall speak about these qualities or qualifications later on. During His lifetime here with us Jesus showed His glory to us, a glory that is of the only one who has ever come from the Father and this glory is full of grace and truth. During his life here with us and I think John is refering both to Jesus' life in Israel as well as his life among humans.. Jesus demonstrated to us that He shares in the glory of God. Here is the next verse for you. The next sequence after this verse, begins the ministry of John the Baptist. John 1:5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. Cynthia, I am going to take this as the verses come unless I need clarification then we can both do some research. Your brother in Christ Andy |

Hi Andy, I apologize for the delay in responding. Actually I was trying to navigate through the numerous threads to see if you've responded to my response of your request in joining you in the Gospel of John. But you know, I feel somewhat dismayed by the response from Angel1. As opposed to trying to pick apart what you mean (which scriptures are up for one's interpretation anyhow)Angel1 needn't be hostile in trying to figure out what you mean. This is not a fight fest of who knows what more or who could decipher one scripture from another. I've noticed on this forum that people do that a lot. As opposed to embracing each other in the very fact that we all share the love of the gospels, the entire bible, others scabble over non-esstenials. We could benefit more by demonstrating the spirit of a loving nature when responding to each other's comments. God Bless, Your Sister in Christ Cynthia |

Cynthia these are the next verses I want to consider, I will send Angel 1 a copy. I suggest we go away and read them in our Bibles and pray over them and then bring our answers back here on the 12th April. Then we will all post them and then discuss them. John 1:6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. John 1:7 He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him. John 1:8 He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light. John 1:9 There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. John 1:11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, John 1:13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:15 John *testified about Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'" John 1:16 For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. John 1:17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. Andy |
