John 1 describes Jesus as the “Word,” God who took on the form of humanity and took off the burden of sin for every person. Jesus came to this world to rescue humanity from brokenness and to establish a better Kingdom. John includes certain teachings, events, prayers, and interactions with the disciples not found in the other Gospels. John’s original audience (Greeks) had heard of Jesus but had no idea who He really was or who He could be to them. John showed them the real Jesus. In the next six weeks, you won’t just learn what Jesus did, but why He did it, what He was thinking, and how the world was changed as a result. There are two groups of people in the book of John. First, there were those who recognized Jesus. Second, there were those who should have known Jesus was the Son of God but totally missed Him. We are all in one of these two groups – do we recognize Jesus in our daily lives?
