Taste and See Challenge Day 14 John 1:1-18

The Light shines in the Darkness. And Darkness can't overcome it.

John 1:1-18

The Word

  • In the beginning was the Word. Jesus was here in the beginning

  • He was with God

  • The Word was God. Jesus is God in the human flesh

The Creation

  • All things were created through him

  • Apart from him not one thing was created

The Life

  • Life is found in him

  • Life was the light of men

The Light

  • Shine in the darkness

  • Darkness can't overcome it

  • True light gives light to everyone coming into the world

  • The world did not recognize him

  • Not received by his own people

The Man who testified

  • A man named John

  • Sent by God

  • Witness to testify about the light

  • So that ALL might believe through him.

  • He wasn't the light but testified about the light

  • We are to reflect his light

The Children of God

  • Those who receive him

  • Right to be called of God

  • Those who believe in his name

  • Born again not of natural descent spiritual new birth

The World became flesh

  • Became flesh and dwelt among us

  • Observed his glory

  • The one and only son of God

  • Full of grace and truth

  • John testified that Jesus ranked about him and existed before him,

  • We received grace upon grace from his fullness

  • Moses gave the law Jesus gave grace and truth

  • No one has seen God but Jesus was revealed

An unseen God became a seen God in Christ. An untouchable God became touchable in Christ.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Martin Luther King
