John 1 — Study notes

John introduces Jesus as God's eternal Word who became human and lived among us, full of grace and truth.

  • Jesus is God himself, existing before creation (v1–5)
  • John the Baptist points people toward Jesus (v6–8)
  • Those who receive him become God's children (v9–13)
  • The Word became flesh and lived among us (v14)

Reflect: What does it mean that Jesus is both fully God and fully human?
