  • This scripture focuses on Jesus being the Christ, Son of God.
  • Believing in His name leads to eternal life.

  • "In the beginning was the Word... and the Word was God."
  • The Word existed with God and was God.
  • Through the Word, all things were created.
  • The Word (Jesus) is the source of life and light.
