John 1 and Genesis 1
John's opening reveals the eternal Word of the one Creator becoming flesh.
The deliberate return to Genesis
John opens with “In the beginning” because he wants the reader to hear Genesis. God creates by speaking.
The Word was God
God's Word belongs to God's own identity, wisdom, purpose, and self-expression.
The Word became flesh
What God eternally was in self-expression came into human existence as Jesus Christ.
