The claim
The Son Sent
Jesus was there in the beginning.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Psalm 2:1-6 · John 1:1-18 · John 1:40-42 · John 3:16-17
The scene
John begins his Gospel:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."John 1:1
"All things were made through him."John 1:3
"The Word became flesh and lived among us."John 1:14
The one through whom the world was made entered it.
John names him: Jesus Christ.
A little later, Andrew tells Simon:
"We have found the Messiah!" (which is, being interpreted, Christ).John 1:41
Messiah and Christ both mean "Anointed One": the promised King God's people were waiting for.
And later John writes:
"For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him."John 3:17
Sit with this
Jesus is the Messiah.
