Passage: John 1:1-5

Preacher: Kelly Graham

Series: Jesus, Incarnate & Divine

Summary:

Who is Jesus? This question has been anticipated and asked since Joseph discovered Mary was with Child. The Savior, the Christ, has been anticipated for even longer and foreshadowed since the days of Abraham. This week, we will begin a series that never leaves the first chapter of the Gospel of John - specifically, what is called the Prologue. As we turn the pages from Jonah to John, we will see the Logos, the Word, that is greater than Jonah. However, the path of Jonah was again a foreshadowing of the work of the Logos. In the words of Timothy Keller, "This one was also thrown into an ocean and went under an ocean, but it wasn’t an ocean of water like Jonah. But it was instead an ocean of the omnipresent anger of God against evil. Like Jonah, this one down in the deep prayed for deliverance that the cup would pass from him. But there was a difference. This one, like Jonah, cried out from the deep and cried out, “Oh Father, let this cup pass from me.” When Jonah cried out from the deep, God said yes. When this one cried out, God said no.” This one is Jesus Christ. However, John the Evangelist will not even mention the name of Jesus Christ until Verse 17! Instead, he speaks to the eternal beginnings of our salvation. Jesus asked Peter, "Who do you say that I am?" In the next few weeks, we will explore who, according to Evangelist John, Jesus Christ is: The Originator, the one who is God, The one with God, The one who is flesh, The one who "dwelt among us", The True light, The giver of Life, The one that holds life in Him, The giver of grace, The one that has made God knowable. The Logos, The Son of God, The one who is God.
