164 Thrive Deeper: John 1-2
The Gospel of John 1-2 is seen as a profound theological reflection on the nature of Jesus and his relationship to God. The central idea of these chapters is that Jesus is the Word (Logos) of God, a term that has rich philosophical and theological connotations in the ancient world. The Word is not only the source of all creation, but also the source of light and life, which are essential elements of the divine presence in the world.
We hear about the relationship between John the Baptist and Jesus, with John serving as a witness to the coming of the Messiah. The significance of John's testimony is that he serves as a bridge between the Old Testament and the New Testament, connecting the two and providing a clear witness to Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promise to his people.
Jesus was made flesh, that is, he became a human being and dwelt among people.
Despite the rejection of Jesus by some people, those who receive him are given the power to become children of God. This is a powerful declaration of the universality of salvation and the invitation that is extended to all people to have a personal relationship with Jesus.
