Overview
John 1 presents a profound theological foundation for the entire Gospel, describing Jesus as the Word (Logos) who became flesh. It opens with a powerful prologue, declaring the preexistence of the Word, His role in creation, and His identity as life and light. John the Baptist's testimony points to Jesus as the Lamb of God. As disciples begin to follow Him, Jesus reveals Himself through personal encounters, extending an invitation to "Come and see." This chapter lays the groundwork for understanding Jesus' divine nature and His mission to bring grace and truth to the world.
