SumBodyForChrist

This is the first video in what I hope to make an ongoing series about the teachings of Jesus Christ, and in this video, we examine the Gospel of John, Chapter 1, verses 1 - 18. This happens to be an amazing passage of scripture which deals with the divine nature of Jesus Christ, his eternality, his role in creation, his role as savior...etc. I hope that you all enjoy this and, God willing, we will continue on with the Gospel of John very soon. To be clear, we will cover other topics in the meantime, and this will be a series that I fit in between other topics and projects, for the purpose of continued edification for the body of Christ. If you have questions, or you have a different take on things, then please leave a comment. God bless you all! Sum Body For Christ Transcript of John 1:1-18 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. 6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light. 9 There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. 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, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. 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. 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.’” 16 For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. 17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.
