John
1:1 In the beginning, the Word existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1:2 He existed in the beginning with God.
1:3 Through him all things were made, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
1:4 In him was life, and that life brought light to humanity.
1:5 And the light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out.
[International Standard Version]
1:14 The Word became flesh and lived among us. We gazed on his glory, the kind of glory that belongs to the Father’s unique Son, who is full of grace and truth.
1:16 We have all received one gracious gift after another from his abundance.
To those who don't know the Bible, the first few verses we just read from the beginning of the first chapter of John, would not make any sense at all. What is it trying to tell us? Word. Word. God. God. What do they point to?
