In my mind, there is not a more important verse in the Bible than John 1.  John 1 is where I start everything…..and, after all, John’s first three words are just like Genesis:

In…          The…          Beginning…

John 1  1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning.  3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

2000 years ago an uneducated fisherman would drop everything and follow Jesus.

He then wrote the most convicting book that I have ever read—the book of John.

This is not just a far-fetched word from 2000 years ago that we can read even as a history book—

It is an example of what God wants to do with YOU.

• John constantly referred to himself as “the disciple who Jesus loved”…just like YOU.
• John discovered that “the light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it”…and if you look around, so have YOU.
• John stood at the foot of the cross and had to be convicted to go even farther into his radical pursuit of Jesus…so can YOU.

John’s writings are poetic and inspiring…AND they also speak to the common man…like me…and YOU.

John 1  12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God– 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

Our NUMBER ONE GOAL should be to RECEIVE HIM…and to give that to everyone else…

The world is dying.

And it is not because of COVID-19.

But there is a new hope…and His Name is Jesus.

He…and He alone…is the hope of the world.

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
