John 1:2
The Apostle John reminds his readers of two truths: Jesus Christ has a unique relationship with God and Jesus Christ is eternal.
The Apostle John reminds his readers of two truths: Jesus Christ has a unique relationship with God and Jesus Christ is eternal.
John places... these two truths side -by-side in saying that before anything was made, Jesus was with God. Being divine Himself (Colossians 1:19; 2:9 For [a]it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the [b]fullness to dwell in Him) and being involved in creation Himself (Colossians 1:16-17 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.), Jesus existed alongside God the Father.
It basically means that Jesus is eternal. He was both with God and also is God. It's describing His relationship with God the father in the trinity (father son and holy spirit). So it basically says that Jesus is God in the trinity and Him and the father made everything, but also that all things, you me and the world was made for Jesus as well!
The light aspect goes on to describe that He is life and God but when He was on Earth, the people couldn't understand how God could become a man and didn't understand His ways. The Jewish people of the time had all these notions about God as well as the prophesied messiah and many wouldn't accept that it was Jesus because God becoming a man sounded crazy. But. God loves us that much He become flesh!
All things were made by Him,and without Him was made nothing ( this means that all things were created for Jesus and with Jesus) In him was life, and the life was the light of men ( Jesus gave His Life for us, so that we if we repent and worship God correctly, will have a chance at eternal life) The light shine in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it ( Jesus is known as ''the light'', as He came upon the earth also to preach the truth, and spread spiritual light, as many in those times were being taught the wrong thing by the religious leaders ( who were in spiritual darkness). Those religious leaders, and many other people, although saw Jesus miracles, still did not recognize him, or comprehend ( understand) that He was the Son of God, and so religious leaders remained in spiritual darkness !!
John 14:9-10 Jesus *said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. John 14:6. (KJV). Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Be Blessed In Christ
