    A Concise Biblical Examination of John 1:1  and It's Importance to Our Faith     “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”      This verse is like a treasure chest full of truth about who Jesus is. It tells us that Jesus, called “the Word,” is God and has always been with God. Let's break it down into three simple parts, using the original Greek words to help us understand, and see how it shows that Jesus is fully God.   Part 1: “In the beginning was the Word”   What it says in Greek: En archē ēn ho Logos   Simple meaning: “When everything started, the Word was already there.”   -“In the beginning”:  This is like the very first moment of everything, just like the start of the Bible in Genesis 1:1, where God created the world. The Greek word archē means the start of all things.  It's saying Jesus was there before anything was made.   -“Was”:  This Greek word tells us the Word didn't start existing—it was already there, always existing, forever. Jesus didn't have a beginning; He's eternal God.   -“The Word”:  The “Word” is Jesus. In Greek, Logos means God's way of speaking or showing Himself. Jesus is God's special way of talking to us and showing who God is. The word ho (the) means He's the one and only Word, not just any word.   What this tells us: Jesus, the Word, was there before time began. He didn't get created because He's eternal, just like God. This shows us Jesus is God because only God has no beginning.     Part 2: “And the Word was with God”   What it says in Greek: kai ho Logos ēn pros ton Theon   Simple meaning: “The Word was close to God.”   -“Was with”:  The Greek word pros means being right next to someone, like best friends who are always together. It shows Jesus was with God in close proximity, sharing a special relationship.   -“God”:  This is talking about God the Father. The Greek words show it's a specific person, not just a vague idea of God. Jesus, the Word, is not the Father, but He's with Him.   What this tells us: Jesus is a distinct person from God the Father, but they're together as One. This shows Jesus is part of the Godhead, not a creation. It's a hint that God is more than one person but yet still one God.     Part 3: “And the Word was God”   What it says in Greek: Kai Theos ēn ho Logos Simple meaning: “The Word was God.”   -“God”:  In Greek, Theos means God, but here it doesn't have the word ho (the) like before. This doesn't mean Jesus is less than God. It's a way to say Jesus has all the qualities of God—He is God in His nature, not a different or smaller god. -“Was”:  Again, this word shows Jesus didn't become God; He always was God, forever.   What this tells us: Jesus, the Word, is fully God. He's not just like God or partly God—He is God, with all of God's power, glory, and nature. This is super important because it tells us Jesus isn't just a great person or a prophet; He's God Himself.   Kai ——  And Theos —  God ēn ——-   was (can also mean “always existed”- thus, “God ‘always existed' as the Word.”) ho ——   the  Logos — Word   Our translators didn't get it wrong, it was proper to translate it “…and the Word was God,” in English in 1611.  Saying “God was the Word” is like saying God's essence is perfectly shown in Jesus. It's two ways of saying the same thing: Jesus is truly, fully, 100% God.  Christ came to fully reveal God to humanity, thus the Word was God and God was the Word.   Why This Matters: Jesus is God — Yet there are approximately 10,000 world religions that claim He isn't. (Source:  Google, Accessed 10-8-2025)   John 1:1 is like a big sign shouting that Jesus is God. Here's what we learn:   1. Jesus is eternal: He was there “in the beginning,” before anything was made. Only God is eternal, so Jesus is God. 2. Jesus is close to God: He's with God the Father in a special, loving relationship, showing He's a person in the Godhead, not just a thing or idea. 3. Jesus is fully God: The Word is God, sharing all of God's qualities. This means Jesus has God's power, love, and glory.   This verse sets up the whole Gospel of John, where we see Jesus do amazing things only God can do, like creating life (John 1:3) and forgiving sins (John 8:58). Later, in John 1:14 (“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth”), we learn that this Word became a human—Jesus! So, the God who was there forever (always existed) became a person to show us who God is and to save us.           Summary of the Lesson on John 1:1   “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”   The verse is broken into three parts to show that Jesus, called “the Word” (Greek: ho Logos), is fully God.   “In the beginning was the Word”: Jesus existed before everything, even before creation (like Genesis 1:1). The Greek word ἦν (was) shows He's eternal, with no beginning, proving He's God.   “And the Word was with God”: Jesus is close to God the Father, like best friends, in a special relationship. The Greek πρὸς (pros) shows they're distinct but united, hinting at the Trinity.   “And the Word was God”: Jesus is fully God, sharing all of God's qualities. The Greek Θεὸς (Theos) without “the” emphasizes His divine nature, not a lesser god.   The phrase “the Word was God and God was the Word” reflects the Greek, emphasizing Jesus' full deity.    In conclusion, John 1:1 teaches that Jesus is eternal, in close relationship with the Father, and fully God, setting the foundation for His identity as our Savior who became human (John 1:14).    This one verse establishes the most outstanding case for the Deity of Christ, that is, Jesus Christ is God.

    1 Chronicles 27 deals with the military divisions and the leaders, or princes of the tribes. To us the chapter may seem irrelevant, even somewhat trivial, but this is not so. The role of the gatekeepers in Temple worship is fundamental: it includes the admission of only those who are sincere in their worship and also valuing truth: John 4 verses 21-24. Hence in Psalm 84:10, a psalm written by gatekeepers (the sons of Korah) we read: "I would rather be a gatekeeper of the House of God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness". The writer said earlier in the same verse: "a day in Your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere". It seems that the pattern of David's administration is a pattern for that which will exist in Messiah's kingdom. Ezekiel chapter 36 is a prophecy towards the mountains of Israel. The mountains of Israel is an expression, which dominates these prophecies of the restoration. It is against "the mountains of Israel" that Gogue will come in Ezekiel 38. The nations who have reproached Israel, says chapter 36, will experience the wrath of Yahweh the God of Israel. By contrast, the mountains of Israel, would thrive flourish and grow. 1948 saw the commencement of that process with the state of Israel being proclaimed on May 14th. Israel's reproach will soon be ended and they once again shall be the people of the LORD. The Almighty has done this not because they have been a deserving nation. On the contrary it is in vindication of that name - which they have disgraced and profaned among the nations, where they were scattered. It is because He is the faithful GOD who keeps the covenant He made with Abraham. The time is soon coming when He will remove their stony heart and give them a vibrant fleshy heart. His spirit will be within them and they will be His people and He will be their God. They will be the paradise of the LORD- Eden restored. The gospel record of John was most likely the last of the four written. Nor is it a summary of the ministry of the life of our Lord Jesus Christ. There are many more references to people discovering that Jesus was the Christ. Its theme is stated in chapter 20:31 "These things are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you might have life through his name." It records 8 signs, which are emphatic proofs of the stated theme. Chapter 1 is deliberately a parallel to Genesis 1. For just as Genesis 1 described the natural creation, which came into being through the Word of God in six days. Two groups of three repeated - LIGHT, WATER, LIFE; days 1-3 are paralleled and duplicated in days 4-6.; so too with the new spiritual creation in Christ. Jesus is declared to have come to his own (by ellipsis- people ) and failed to be accepted. This was not the case among believers. What a lofty theme. Jesus was the Word of God in the flesh i.e. one of us in nature and passions; and yet without sin totally revealing the Father's character to humanity. Read aloud verses 14-17 - Pause and Ponder. John was the disciple who rested on Jesus' bosom during the Last Supper and surely he writes with a measure of understanding his comments in chapter 1:18. The record of Jesus' baptism followed with John theBaptist's announcement of verse 29 "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." From verses 35-42 we have the earliest call of the first four of Jesus' disciples (later to become his Apostles) Andrew and John, Peter and James. From verses 43-51 we have the call of Philip and Nathanael. The latter convinced by our Lord's ability to reveal what Nathanael was thinking that Jesus must be the Son of God and the King of Israel. Twice in the chapter we are told that these men had found the Messiah i.e. the Christ - first by Andrew (v41) and then Nathanael (v49). But the reality was he had found them and extended to them the authority to become 'the sons of God' (verses 12-13).

    This week at Echo Church, Pastor Jason Polk launched a new series through the Gospel of John. He shared how John's gospel is unique—it's not a timeline of events, but an intimate portrait from Jesus' closest friend. In John 1:1–18, we meet Jesus as the Word, the Light, and the Life. Jason explained: The Word – God's final revelation of His heart. The Light – shining in darkness, guiding us forward. The Life – offering freedom, healing, and new creation. The series will unpack Jesus as Son of God, Man of God, and Lamb of God. Today, the focus was on His divinity—Jesus is God Himself, present at creation, now inviting us to believe and become children of God. Want to dive deeper? Join us this Sunday at Echo Church.

    Daily Dose of Hope September 30 and October 1, 2025   Scripture – John 1:19-51   Prayer: Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful. And kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And you will renew the face of the earth. Lord, by the light of the Holy Spirit you have taught the hearts of your faithful. In the same Spirit help us to relish what is right and always rejoice in your consolation. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional/podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently working our way through a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we continue our deep dive into John 1.    Today's reading begins with John the Baptist, although the Gospel of John does not use the term Baptist to describe him.  Earlier in the chapter, John had been called a witness to the light.  So, the Jewish leaders sent people to ask John who he is, specifically is he the Messiah?  Is he Elijah?  Is he the prophet?  Their frustration is evident.  They want answers.    John will not be labeled.  Instead, he describes himself using the words of Isaiah.  He is the “voice of one crying out in the wilderness.”  John's call is to repent and be baptized.  His message wouldn't be popular but it was necessary.  In other Gospels, John makes it clear that he isn't the Messiah but he is preparing the way for the Messiah.  This does not thrill the Jewish leaders.  They want more concrete information.  Why is he baptizing?  John says that he uses water to baptize but one is coming that will be much greater than he who will do more.   As John continues to baptize, he begins to testify about Jesus.  When he first sees Jesus, he calls him the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.  As we move through the book of John, we will see how the author begins to make connections between Jesus and the Passover lamb.  John the testifier describes Jesus as one who outranks him.  He then describes Jesus' baptism, with the Spirit descending on him like a dove and a voice (presumably the Father) declaring that the man on whom the dove descends will baptize with the Holy Spirit.  John then testifies that Jesus is God's chosen one.   Let's talk about that title, “God's chosen one.”  Other translations use the title, “Son of God.”  Clearly, John is making a statement that Jesus is the Messiah.  He is the one they have been waiting for to save God's people.  He is the one who God has sent, uniquely selected by God to fulfill a divine purpose.  Jesus is God himself, sent to fulfill prophecy, to usher in God's Kingdom, and to redeem all of creation.    The remainder of this first chapter is Jesus calling his disciples.  Andrew and John were the first two disciples Jesus called and they were originally disciples of John the Baptist.  When they hear John the Baptist declare that Jesus is the Lamb of God, they acted immediately and boldly followed Jesus without any kind of hesitation.    It's as they begin to follow Jesus (literally follow him) that Jesus asks them a simple question, “What do you want?”  They answer with a question of their own, “Where are you staying?” And Jesus then invites them to “Come and see...”  They end up spending the day with Jesus.    Jesus invites all of us to “come and see...” where he is staying and what he is doing.  Keep in mind that Jesus is always up to something, he is always at work among us.    He also invites Philip and Nathaniel to come and see and they choose to do so as well.  It takes a bit of convincing for Nathaniel who is convinced that nothing good could come from Nazareth.  But he sees Jesus' power and he too decides to follow.   I think sometimes we make an invitation to follow Jesus a little too difficult.  What would it look like for us to simply invite people to “come and see” what Jesus is up to.  A decision to follow Jesus may just start with curiosity.  That's okay.  Invite the people around you to come and see and Jesus will do the rest.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

    Daily Dose of Hope September 29, 2025   Scripture - John 1:1-18   Prayer:  Holy God, We come before you in this new week with humility and gratefulness.  We praise your powerful name.  Thank you, so much, Lord, that you came to earth to dwell among us and show us a different way of being.  Help us to pay attention to your example.  Help us to be more loving and more merciful in all we do.  Help us to be even but a small reflection of you.  You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  Thank you, Jesus.  Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  This is the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  Today, we are starting our final Gospel, John.  And John is different from the other three Gospels, we will see that as we work our way through it.  It's also a beautiful Gospel.  It goes deep.  Be prepared for life change as we engage with the book of John.    This first chapter is John's Christmas story.  It's quite different from the other Gospels.  In fact, the Gospel of John doesn't have any of the Christmas characters we know and love so well–no Joseph or Mary, no shepherds or angels, no manger and animals, no wise men traveling from the east. John didn't need to rehash those details of the incarnation. Afterall, the other Gospels had already been written and did a great job telling the story of baby Jesus. John chose to go about it differently, focusing less on how Jesus came and more on why Jesus came, and how the whole idea of the incarnation was so incredible, so mind-blowing, so amazingly significant for all people for all time. For in Jesus, God announced to the world that “I'm with you!” and that has made all the difference.   We find John's Christmas story in two verses in this chapter: John 1:1,In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14, The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.   What does this mean? Both the Jewish and Greek listeners would have been familiar with the term “Word,” which was Logos in Greek. -Jews were in the habit of substituting the Word of God for God himself in their concept of wisdom/reason---wisdom/reason is one of the meanings for LOGOS. -Greeks thought of Logos as the ruling principle of life and the universe. -Gnostics–believed the Spirit was imprisoned in the physical body and the secret to get it out was gnosis, knowledge, logos. (They didn't believe Jesus possessed a true, physical body.)   So when John writes that the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, he means that the Word, LOGOS, is Jesus Christ. Please know that this was a mind-blowing claim. Jesus wasn't just a little baby who was born under unusual circumstances when Caesar Augustus was governor of Syria. He wasn't just a wise man who told amazing stories and fed a lot of people. No, Jesus (the Word) was present at the very beginning of time, Jesus (the Word) was with God, and Jesus (the Word) was God himself. To the Jews, John says the Word of God (GOD) is Jesus. To the Greeks, John says the ruling principle of life/universe is Jesus. To the Gnostics, John says the secret knowledge that leads to freedom is Jesus who had a true, physical body and dwelt among us. Jesus was not some mental concept, some intangible thought life; No, Jesus, God himself, became flesh and made his dwelling among us.   Let's unpack this a bit more because it's pretty amazing.  Let's start with the Word dwelt among us. A more accurate translation of the term “dwell” actually is “tabernacle” or “pitched his tent.” When a Jewish listener heard this, they would immediately think of the tabernacle in the Exodus. The tabernacle was where God met with his people before the temple was built---it housed the ark of the covenant and it represented God's presence/God's dwelling among his people. Now, John is saying, God has chosen to dwell among his people in an even more personal way, in the Word became flesh, in the person of Jesus Christ. In Jesus, God chose to dwell among his people.   What was the benefit of God dwelling among the people? Think about this. You can kind of know someone, but when you dwell with someone, when you live with someone, then you really get to know them. If you've ever had a roommate, you know this well. You might be friends and know about one another but when you dwell together, when you live with one another, then you know all the stuff–the good and the bad. It's the same when you get married and live together. You know if they put their dishes in the dishwasher, you know if they leave trash around, you know the thoughtful things they do, you know the annoying things they do .You don't just kind of know them. You truly know them.   When God came to earth to dwell among us in the person of Jesus, it was so humans could truly understand who God was, truly know God. God is Jesus and Jesus is God. So the character of Jesus was the character of God. The teachings of Jesus were the teachings of God. The miracles of Jesus were the miracles of God. When Jesus voluntarily gave his life on a cross for the sins of all humanity, it was a demonstration of God's amazing, expansive love for us. When Jesus was resurrected three days later, it was a demonstration of how God conquered death once and for all, meaning that we could have new life now and eternal life in the future. God dwelling among us in Jesus meant that God was not some distance, far off, hard to understand deity.  No, the WORD was with us, hanging out in the living room, sitting at the kitchen table with us, and we could get to know him in a very personal, very intimate way. I love to think about Jesus walking with the disciples, dining with the tax collectors and prostitutes, spending a few days resting in the home of Lazarus, Mary, and Martha. He dwelled with the people in a very intimate way.   So the WORD made his dwelling among us. But some of you might be like---but that was so long ago. We personally did not walk with Jesus and talk with Jesus. He didn't literally dwell with Us personally. I would argue that Jesus does in fact walk among us and speak to us today. Afterall, we serve a living God and God's presence is everywhere. There is no place that we can go where God's presence is not. God's presence is here through the presence of the Holy Spirit.   And we can also still dwell with the Word in another way – through the Bible. Just as the Word came to dwell among us, we can dwell in the Word. The Bible is the Word of God. We meet Jesus, Logos, God on the pages of Scripture. As we dwell in Scripture, we enter into the life of God and God enters into our lives.   The Bible is not simply for information but for transformation. The purpose of Scripture is for us to get to know and love God more fully and be drawn more deeply into the life of faith so we can be changed from the inside out. It is not a textbook---we don't simply study it to acquire information and show people how smart we are. This is God's story from Genesis to Revelation. We learn about God's character. We learn about how God has been present throughout history. We learn about God's mission and plan of redemption for all people for all time. We learn about Jesus' ministry, death, and resurrection. We learn about the Kingdom of God and how Jesus demonstrated this new way of doing life, the way God always intended his world to be. We learn about the early church and the coming of the Holy Spirit. We learn about how God's mission continues through the church, through us, not in our own power but as God works through us.   And while God revealed himself in Scripture through a specific people group, the miracle of God's Word is that it transcends time and place. When we dwell in the Word, God continues to reveal himself to us in new ways, we get to know God better, we begin to be transformed little by little. As we dwell in God's Word, the WORD, Jesus, becomes more real to us.  How has the Bible become more real to you as we have worked our way through Mark, Matthew, and Luke?    Blessings, Pastor Vicki

    This excerpt from a sermon delivered at ColonialKC Church details the history and current work of Elam Ministries, which was co-founded in 1990 to spread Christianity in Iran. The speaker recounts how the ministry grew from a small prayer meeting in 1955, spurred by the Islamic Revolution in 1979 which forced missionaries out of Iran. Despite facing pain and persecution, the ministry focuses on training Iranian leaders, translating and distributing scriptures, and planting house churches, resulting in one of the world's fastest-growing Christian populations—from an estimated 500 Christians of Muslim background in 1979 to over a million today. The message centers on bearing witness to the light of Jesus Christ, which involves sharing a personal encounter with Christ, suffering for one's faith, and being visibly transformed by that faith, illustrating this transformation through several personal testimonies.Support the showThanks for listening!

    Pastor Mac provides an expositional style teaching on John CH 1:34-39 utilizing the text in order to extract several truths that all believers need to consider as we decide if we are going to be disciples of Jesus Christ.  This teaching will examine some hard truths regarding the makeup of true disciples, as well as expose the many skewed views of what makes a Christian a disciple, in the hopes of igniting a desire within each of us to take up this challenge in the name of Jesus. Social MediaMobile & TV Apps: https://subsplash.com/calvarychapelkaneohe/appProphecy Website: http://jdfarag.orgChurch Website: http://www.calvarychapelkaneohe.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/JDFaragFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/JDFaragInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/JDFarag
