Summary
John 1:1-14 reveals Jesus as the pre-existent, eternal Word of God—fully divine yet distinct in the Trinity—who created all things and became flesh to dwell among humanity. Those who believe in him receive the right to become children of God, adopted into his family through grace rather than human effort.
Highlights
You must make your choice either this man was and is the son of God or else a madman or something worse. He is not a good moral teacher, he is not just a good example. He is a hundred percent God and a hundred percent man wrapped up in one.
God's will for us is that we would be saved not as his creation but as his children in his family. You are not saved because he's like well I got to deal with your crap. No, I'm gonna make you a son or daughter in my household.
God is not calling you into a relationship to enslave you but he's calling you into a relationship that you would live the life that God has for you, the abundant life that bears fruit.
