Day 301 of the podcast, reading John 1-2 NET, read along at:
https://netbible.org/bible/John+1-2/
This is day 301 of our journey.
Today we begin John's account of Jesus' life. John places a strong emphasis on the diety of Christ. We see this from the first few verses as John describes the Word as distinct from, but fully, God. This Word became flesh and took up residence with us in the form of Christ. After this prologue, we read the account of Jesus' baptism and the calling of his first disciples. A few days later, Jesus is at a wedding, and although it is not yet his time, he respects his mother and assists the groom by turning 120 gallons of water into wine. Jesus then went up to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover. While he was there he went into the temple courts and drove the merchants and money changers out. He continued to do other miracles and many people came to believe in his name because of these miraculous signs.
Join me in John 1-2 for the human incarnation of the Word of God!
