“In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through Him, and nothing was created except through Him. The Word gave light to everything that was created, and His light brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.
God sent a man , John the Baptist, to tell about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony. John himself was not the light; he was simply a witness to tell about the light. The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming to the world.
He came into the very wold He created, but the world didn’t recognize Him. He came to His own people, and even they rejected Him. But to all who believed Him, and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn – not with a physical birth resulting form human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God. (John 1: vv. 13, NLT)
