ποΈ *COMMENTARY*
The Gospel of John begins with a powerful declaration of Christ's divinity. Unlike the other Gospels that start with Jesus birth or ministry, John takes us back to eternity past, emphasizing that Jesus is the eternal Word of God, the Creator of all things, and the true Light of the world. Jesus existed before time began. He was not created but has always been with God. Jesus is not just a messenger of God; He is God Himself. His Role in Creation: βAll things were made through Him." Jesus is the Creator, giving life to all things.
Jesus is the Life and the Light of Men (John 1:4-5). He is the source of life, both physically and spiritually. Without Him, there is no true life. He is the Light that shines in the darkness.
John the Baptist was sent as a witness to prepare the way for
Jesus, but the world did not recognize the Light. (John 1:6-10).
Despite being the Creator, Jesus was rejected by the very people He came to save.
Today, as we have read, we must:
1. Recognize Jesus as the Eternal Word: We must acknowledge Jesus as God and Creator.
2. Walk in the Light: As followers of Christ, we must reject darkness and let His light shine through us.
3. Be a Witness: Like John the Baptist, we are called to testify about Christ and lead others to Him.
