In the Beginning

John 1:1-3

In the Gospel of Mark, the identity of Jesus slowly unfolds. Matthew and Luke give early revelations that they then build upon. John begins with full disclosure as to the identity of Jesus. He wants us to be utterly astonished and drawn into a profound sense of awe and worship. This is also seen in his clear reference to Genesis 1, “In the beginning.”

Was the Word

And the Word Was with God

And the Word Was God

He Was in the Beginning with God

All Things Were Made through Him

And without Him Was Not Any Thing Made that Was Made
