John 1:1-18
John 1:1-18
1 In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. 2 From the very beginning the Word was with God.
3 Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was
made without him. 4 The Word was the source of life, and this life
brought light to people. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the
darkness has never put it out. 6 God sent his messenger, a man named
John, 7 who came to tell people about the light, so that all should
hear the message and believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came
to tell about the light. 9 This was the real light—the light that
comes into the world and shines on all people. 10 The Word was in the
world, and though God made the world through him, yet the world did
not recognize him. 11 He came to his own country, but his own people
did not receive him. 12 Some, however, did receive him and believed in
him; so he gave them the right to become God's children. 13 They did
not become God's children by natural means, that is, by being born as
the children of a human father; God himself was their Father. 14 The
Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among
us. We saw his glory, the glory which he received as the Father's only
Son. 15 John spoke about him. He cried out, "This is the one I was
talking about when I said, "He comes after me, but he is greater than
I am, because he existed before I was born." " 16 Out of the fullness
of his grace he has blessed us all, giving us one blessing after
another. 17 God gave the Law through Moses, but grace and truth came
through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God. The only Son, who
is the same as God and is at the Father's side, he has made him known.
Jesus said, For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal
life."
Please say this prayer:
Father God forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down to
die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days later
you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into my
heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
