Chapter 6: Then Came The WORD

The Good News of Yeshua the Messiah as reported by Yochanan (John)

John 1:1-18 

“In the beginning was the Word,

And the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning, all things came to be through Him, and without Him nothing made had being. In Him was life,

and the life was the light of mankind.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not suppressed it.

There was a man sent from God whose name was Yochanan (John the Baptist). He came to be a testimony, to bear witness concerning the light; so that through Yeshua the Messiah, everyone might put his trust in God and be faithful to Him.  Yochanan himself was not that light; no, he came to bear witness concerning the light.  This was the true light, which gives light to everyone entering the world. He was in the world – the world came to be through Him- yet the world did not know Him. He came to His own homeland, yet  His own people did not receive Him.

But to as many as did receive Him, to those who put their trust in His person and power, He gave the right to become children of God, not because of bloodline, physical impulse or human intention, but because of God.  The Word became a human being and lived with us, and we saw His Sh’khinah, the Sh’khinah of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth.

Yochanan witnessed concerning Him when he cried out,  “This is the Man I was talking about when I said, ‘The One coming after me has come to rank ahead of me, because He existed before me.”’  We have all received from His fullness, yes, grace upon grace.  For the Torah was given through Moshe; Grace and truth came through Yeshua the Messiah. No one has ever seen God; but the only and unique Son, who is identical with God and is at the Father’s side – He has made Him known."

from the movie, The Gospel of John 

This scripture from John describes the incarnation of Yeshua Messiah. Let us examine the meaning of incarnation from World Book Encyclopedia dictionary.

Incarnation (n.)  1.  The union of divine nature and human nature in the person of Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ); the assumption of human form by the Son of God; the hypostatic union.  2.  The embodiment of God in the person of Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ).

1 John 5:9-13,20 

“If we accept human witness, God’s witness is stronger, because it is the witness which God has given about His Son. Those who keep trusting in the Son of God have this witness in them.  Those who do not keep trusting God have made Him out to be a liar, because they have not trusted in the witness, which God has given about His Son.  Those who have the Son have the life; those who do not have the Son of God do not have the life.  I have written you these things so that you may know that you have eternal life--- you who keep trusting in the person and power of the Son of God.”

“And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us discernment, so that we may know who is genuine; moreover, we are united with the One who is genuine, united with His Son Yeshua the Messiah. He is the genuine God and eternal life.”

Therefore, The Word was God, with God in the beginning; the Word became flesh –God visible- Yeshua the Messiah, the only begotten Son of God His Father and the One who came to earth to reveal His Father God to mankind.  The Word is complete truth, pure love, and offers eternal life to those who receive Him.
