Joh 1:1, 2  "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God." 

In the beginning of this world, created order out of chaos, The Word was the the creator. The Word proceeded from God, He was one with God. He was with God. He is Jesus, Yeshua Messiah, Isa Al Masih. He is Yahweh. I Am that I Am. 

Everything created was created through Him and by Him. He was life and the life giver. He shines forth in revealing and making known the character of God. He is Absolute Love and Absolute Truth. He lights up illuminates all things with His presence and darkness has not overcome the light of His life. He is Absolute Love.

Joh 1:3 - 5 "All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men.  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." 

A man everyone knew had come as God's messenger, John; He came as a witness to the light I am talking about. John The Baptist was sent so that people would believe in the light coming into this world. John was not the light I am talking about, but John's mission and purpose was to bear witness to the coming of the light of God into our midst.

Joh 1:6 - 8  "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light." 

This true illuminating, revealing light that reveals everything to everyone, He was coming. He was already in the world, a part of what He had created, yet the world didn't recognize His presence in power. He was cloaked in human form. The light of life came to the people He had created, loved and served. They belonged to Him but had lost intimacy and communion with Him. They no longer received Him and believed in Him. (Not as He revealed Himself to them) If anyone believes in what He reveals Himself to be, His Absolute Love and Truth. Believe in Him as the only source of life and fulfillment, to them He gives life and the nature as a child of God. Restores fellowship and intimacy with God. 
Children of God are created by God. Made in the image of God. They don't come from flesh and blood relation. They cannot will themselves into relationship with God. No man can declare them to be in fellowship with God. God alone initiates and establishes intimacy, fellowship and makes them His children. 

Joh 1:9 - 13 "The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God." 

This eternal Word, Jesus; was became flesh-human and lived in our midst. We, myself John His beloved companion, saw His glory. It was the Glory of God, as of the only Son of God proceeding from His Father, God! He was the Absolute of Absolutes. He was Absolute Grace and Absolute Truth fully integrated in unity and harmony. He was Absolute Love and Absolute justice. Righteousness and mercy intertwined. 

Joh 1:14  "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." 

John The Baptist gave witness of Him. Though John was a great representative of God, calling out for repentance, he was not God's exact representation. He witnessed of Jesus saying; "This is He, Though He came after me as a man, He is above and beyond me, He was before me as my creator and God. 

Joh 1:15  "(John bore witness about him, and cried out, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.'")" 

From the fullness of Jesus Christ, He fills all things with life and fulfills all in gracious gift. Law from God was given through Moses, The revealing of God's gracious gift of truth and life comes through Jesus Christ. There is no one that has seen God. Yet Jesus, the only one who is God The Son and with God The Father, He has revealed the nature of Absolute Love and now we know what God is like. 

Joh 1:16-18 "And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known."
