“And they [priests and Levites] asked him [John the Baptist], ‘What then? Art thou Elias?’ And he said, ‘I am not.’ [They said,] ‘Art thou that Prophet [Elias]?’ And he answered, ‘No.’ Then said they unto him, ‘Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thy self?’ [He John] said, ‘I am the voice […]

“Then this is the record of John, when the Jews sent Priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, ‘Who art thou?’ And he confessed and denied not, and said plainly, ‘I am not that Christ’” (John 1:19, 20 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, we understand John the Baptist was the forerunner for Christ. John’s example makes […]

“No man hath seen God at any time: that only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him” (John 1:18 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, as You hold Your son to Yourself, You also hold those who follow hard after You. Who set an example as Christ set an example […]

“And of his fulness haue all we receiued, and grace for grace. For the Law was giuen by Moses, but grace, and truth came by Jesus Christ” (John 1:16, 17 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father God, Your Son came down. He died. Was buried. He rose again to bring life to those who believe and obey. In […]

“Which are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And that Word [Christ] was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw the glory thereof, as the glory of the only begotten Son of the Father) full of grace and truth” (John 1:13, 14 […]

“He came vnto his own [from the seed Israel], and his own receiued him not” (John 1:11 [1587 Geneva Version]). Father, Your Son’s physical part came from the lineage of King David. You are his Father and He is also God. We count it joy to learn more about Jesus. In Christ’s holy name we shout, […]

“He [John] was not that light [Christ], but was sent to bear witness of that light.  This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth [comes] into the world” (John 1:8, 9 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father God, Your perfect plan is to send Your Son to be sacrificed, His blood shed, to take away our sins. In […]

And that light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not” (John 1:5 [1587 Geneva Version]). Father God, those who do not want to follow Your Son, the Christ, will never understand the light that He brings to our hearts and souls. Please help us to continue on Jesus’ path of life and […]

“All things were made by it [that Word which is Christ], and without it was made nothing that was made. In it was life, and that life was the light of men” (John 1:3, 4 [ 1587 Geneva Version]). Father God, thank You for sending Your Son to die and rise again to save those who believe […]
