The Eternal Word (John Part 2)

MAIN TEXT
John 1:1-5
WHO IS JESUS?
Jesus wasn’t just a man who walked the earth, submitted to a divine God. Jesus was and is God. In fact, John makes it clear to us that Jesus always was—that He existed even before the world came into existence. Jesus is the eternal God—the Word Who became flesh and dwelt among us.
JESUS’ PRE-INCARNATE WORK
Jesus was involved in Creation. It’s important that we believe this. This shows us that everything He created was intentional and with a purpose. Nothing was an accident or mistake. This includes humanity—male and female. God has a very specific order to gender, marriage and the sanctity of life.
SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST
Jesus is not only the Creator of everything, He is also the savior of all humanity. He is the only One Who has the power to save us from our sin and wickedness. Through Jesus, we now have the light within us to walk in the midst of the darkness of this world, and still see clearly as we look to His Word.
