John 1 – Unboxing Grace
GOD’S WISDOM is a Person behind the precepts
The term Λόγος (word) is a well known term used to philosophize about the order, logic, and reason for the universe. The apostle assigns it to Jesus.
GOD’S GOSPEL accomplished in Jesus announces mercy and justice
God has waged war on darkness and will not be overcome = καταλαμβάνω
He came to that which was His own, to give the right to be children of God
GOD’S ENDGAME is to be with us – as many as receive Him
“The Word became flesh and made His dwelling place among us.” (John 1:14)
“Look! God’s dwelling place is among His people” (Revelation 21:3)
