Life in Christ Jesus: John 1
Theme:
‘That you might have life in the [pre-existent Christ’s] name’ John 20:31.
Developing the theme:
- The human struggle with mortality and meaning versus God’s purposes for humankind through Jesus Christ, His Son.
- Jesus’ birth life, death and resurrection form the hinge and measuring for human history.
- Why did John write his unique gospel account? Jn. 20:30-31 says so ‘That you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and by believing you may have life in His name’.
- John’s Prologue establishes a beginning to the universe - in line with modern scientific thought, though it’s a created, not evolutionary universe. He also establishes that Jesus was the pre-existent Creator while also the Emmanuel born 2000 years ago.
- Jesus as the Word/Logos - shows us a picture of ‘God in action’.
- John 1 Parallels the Creation account in Genesis 1 which John recounts as being integral to Jesus as the Word.
Application:
Jesus said ‘I am the way, the truth and the life’ 14:6 and in following Jesus we are welcomed into fellowship and eternity with the Godhead through the Holy Spirit.
