In the beginning... John Chapter 1

No, not more on the Genesis series!

John's book is about bringing forward evidence so that we may believe in Jesus and have eternal life, but he begins with some simple but profound statements of the nature of Jesus Christ. He begins in the beginning with the Word, the Son of God, the agent of creation, the one who came from heaven to make is possible we could become children of God.

Do you want to know God? Look at Jesus.

Then we have the witness of John the Baptist. He says I'm nothing special but there's someone who really is unique and worthy of my service. John the Baptist points Jesus out as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. In other words, Jesus will be the sacrifice to pay the price for our failure to put God in His place as King. That’s for everyone. Not just Jews, not just religious or respectable people. It’s for people like you and me.

John testifies that Jesus is the Son of God and in the genius of God’s salvation plan He is also the sacrifice provided by God? No-one else could do it

And last Sunday we looked at Jesus calling the first disciples with the invitation to “come and see.” One of them, Andrew, goes and does the same thing to Nathanael. And what are they going to see? That through Jesus it's possible to have access to heaven. Well worth seeing. Well worth telling your friends
