JOHN –<strong>The</strong> Word Became Flesh • Unit 1: Jesus’ Public Ministry • Lesson 1: From Eternity to Here Page 9<br />
1 <strong>The</strong> Word (Christ) was in the beginning. <strong>The</strong><br />
Word was with God. <strong>The</strong> Word was God.<br />
2 He was with God in the beginning.<br />
3 He made all things. Nothing was made without<br />
Him making it.<br />
4 Life began by Him. His Life was the Light for<br />
men.<br />
5 <strong>The</strong> Light shines in the darkness. <strong>The</strong> darkness<br />
has never been able to put out the Light.<br />
6 <strong>The</strong>re was a man sent from God whose name<br />
was <strong>John</strong>.<br />
7 He came to tell what he knew about the Light<br />
so that all men might believe through him.<br />
8 <strong>John</strong> was not the Light, but he was sent to tell<br />
about the Light.<br />
9 This true Light, coming into the world, gives<br />
light to every man.<br />
10 He came into the world. <strong>The</strong> world was made<br />
by Him, but it did not know Him.<br />
11 He came to His own, but His own did not<br />
receive Him.<br />
12 He gave the right and the power to become<br />
children <strong>of</strong> God to those who received Him. He<br />
gave this to those who put their trust in His<br />
name.<br />
<strong>John</strong> 1:1-12, 15-18, 29-36, 43-45<br />
...15 <strong>John</strong> told about Christ and said, "I have<br />
been telling you about this One. I said, 'He is<br />
coming after me. He is more important than I<br />
because He lived before me.' "<br />
16 From Him Who has so much we have all<br />
received loving-favor, one loving-favor after<br />
another.<br />
17 <strong>The</strong> Law was given through Moses, but<br />
loving-favor and truth came through Jesus<br />
Christ.<br />
18 <strong>The</strong> much-loved Son is beside the Father. No<br />
man has ever seen God. But Christ has made<br />
God known to us.<br />
...29 <strong>The</strong> next day <strong>John</strong> the Baptist saw Jesus<br />
coming to him. He said, "See! <strong>The</strong> Lamb <strong>of</strong><br />
God Who takes away the sin <strong>of</strong> the world!<br />
30 I have been talking about Him. I said, 'One is<br />
coming after me Who is more important than I,<br />
because He lived before I was born.'<br />
31 I did not know who He was, but I have come<br />
to baptize with water so the Jews might know<br />
about Him."<br />
32 <strong>The</strong>n <strong>John</strong> said, "I saw the Holy Spirit come<br />
down on Jesus as a dove from heaven. <strong>The</strong> Holy<br />
Spirit stayed on Him.<br />
33 I did not know Him then. But God sent me<br />
to baptize with water. God said to me, '<strong>The</strong><br />
Holy Spirit will come down and stay on Him.<br />
He is the One Who baptizes with the Holy<br />
Spirit.'<br />
34 I saw this happen. I am now saying that<br />
Jesus is the Son <strong>of</strong> God."<br />
35 <strong>The</strong> next day <strong>John</strong> the Baptist was standing<br />
with two <strong>of</strong> his own followers.<br />
36 Jesus walked by. <strong>John</strong> looked at Him and<br />
said, "See! <strong>The</strong> Lamb <strong>of</strong> God."<br />
...43 <strong>The</strong> next day Jesus wanted to go to the<br />
country <strong>of</strong> Galilee. He found Philip and said to<br />
him, "Follow Me."<br />
44 Philip was from the town <strong>of</strong> Bethsaida.<br />
Andrew and Peter were from this town also.<br />
45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We<br />
have found the One Moses wrote about in the<br />
Law. He is the One the early preachers wrote<br />
about. He is Jesus <strong>of</strong> Nazareth, the Son <strong>of</strong><br />
Joseph."
