John 1 kicks off with a big truth: Jesus is the Word—He was with God and is God, and everything was made through Him. He’s also the Light that shines in the darkness, bringing life to everyone, though not everyone recognizes Him. John the Baptist shows up, pointing to Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away sin and calling people to pay attention. Jesus starts gathering His first followers, including Andrew, Peter, Philip, and Nathanael, who realize He’s not just a teacher but the Son of God and the King of Israel. The chapter introduces Jesus as fully God, fully human, and the One who came to show us who God really is. Simple, powerful, and life-changing.
