7/6/20 – The gospel according to John is just that, John’s eyewitness account of the good news of Jesus. He lays out a presentation of why Jesus is the long awaited Messiah and that true LIFE is found in Him. In today’s reading, he begins with a poem of sorts that references back to the beginning (an obvious parallel to Genesis 1) – and presents a beautiful picture of Jesus as the eternal WORD of God, WORD is the embodiment of someone’s mind and will. Jesus is the ultimate clear embodiment of God and John uses this poem to creatively introduce this reality of who Jesus is.
