## Resource

Who is Jesus, and why did He come? John does not begin with a manger scene or a genealogy, but with eternity itself: “In the beginning was the Word.” Before creation, before history, before we could reach toward God, the Son was already with God and was God. In John 1:1–14, we see the wonder of the Word becoming flesh and dwelling among us. Jesus is the light shining into darkness, the Creator entering His creation, and the only Son revealing the Father with grace and truth. Consider not only who Jesus is, but why His coming changes everything. Recorded May 31st, 2026Message by Pastor Tim WardScripture: John 1:1-14
