Daily Dose - John 1:1-5 - The Word Who Is God and Who Created Everything

The Gospel of John 1:1-5 (John 1:1, John 1:2, John 1:3, John 1:4, John 1:5)

This text is an introduction to the Gospel of John, written by John, one of the disciples of Jesus, between 85 and 95 AD. Unlike the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke), John's Gospel is unique, although it includes many similar accounts. The text introduces the foundational framework of the doctrine of the Trinity and reveals that the Word (Jesus) was with God at the beginning and was God. In John 1:3, it is stated that everything was created through Jesus, which is an essential concept for Christians to understand.

John's Gospel is unique and has gained a higher profile than much of the rest of Scripture over the last 2000 years. It is an essential text for new believers or anyone checking out Christianity. It introduces the doctrine of the Trinity and helps to understand the significance of Jesus beyond just being a savior.
