We just began a new study over the whole Gospel of John. And so naturally, we are in the prologue. These first 18 verses of John’s Gospel are known as some of the richest parts of the Scriptures. It has been said that while John’s prologue uses the most basic vocabulary of the New Testament, it also includes the deepest truths of the New Testament.
For that reason, I decided to preach one introductory message as an overview before we start walking through it. You can check out the message here.
Here are 13 Characteristics of Jesus from the Prologue of John:
- Jesus is God. (verse 1)
- Jesus is the Son of God. (verses 1-2)
- Jesus is the Creator. (verse 3)
- Jesus is the Life. (verse 4)
- Jesus is the Light. (verses 4-5)
- Jesus has Witnesses. (verses 6-8)
- Jesus is Rejected. (verses 9-11)
- Jesus is Received. (verses 12-13)
- Jesus is a Human. (verse 14)
- Jesus is Glorious. (verse 14)
- Jesus is Gracious. (verses 15-17)
- Jesus is the Truth. (verses 15-17)
- Jesus Makes God Known. (verse 18)
Our church is already benefitting greatly from this study. Jesus is inexhaustible, and so there is no greater subject to learn about than the Lord Jesus Christ. We look forward to more and more from John’s Gospel in the coming weeks.
