We are exploring the opening of John’s Gospel and meeting Jesus as the eternal Word who was with God and is God. John invites us to see that God does not remain distant or hidden, but reveals Himself through testimony, light, and relationship.

As we walk through John 1:1–18, we will see that truly knowing God is not about gathering information, but about believing and receiving the Word. Those who receive Jesus are welcomed into God’s family as His children, born not by human effort but by God Himself.

This passage sets the foundation for the entire Gospel, showing us a Father who gives life, draws near, and invites us to belong through grace and truth.
