Word and Witness Part 1 |  John 1:1-18

1. What does John mean when he says, “In the beginning was the Word”? How does this distinguish Jesus from everything God created?

2. What do we learn about Jesus from the statements “the Word was with God” and “the Word was God”? How do these statements help us understand the Trinity?

3. Verse 5 says that the darkness has not overcome the light. How does this encourage us when we see sin, unbelief, and opposition to the gospel?

4. Explain John the Baptist's role as a witness. How does this help us to understand our role as a witness?

5. What does this text show you about Christ and how does it deepen your affection for Him and change the way you live?
