All things were made by him, and not as an instrument. Without
him was not any thing made that was made, from the highest angel to the

redemption and salvation. The light of reason, as well as the life of
sense, is derived from him, and depends upon him.
This eternal Word, this true Light shines, but the darkness comprehends it
not. Let us pray without ceasing, that our eyes may be opened to behold
this Light, that we may walk in it; and thus be
made wise unto salvation, by faith in Jesus Christ.

John
1:6-14
John the Baptist came to bear witness concerning Jesus. Nothing more fully
shows the darkness of men's minds, than that when the Light had appeared,
there needed a witness to call attention to it. Christ was the true Light;
that great Light which deserves to be called so. By his Spirit and grace he
enlightens all that are enlightened to salvation; and those that are not
enlightened by him, perish in darkness. Christ was in the world when he
took our nature upon him, and dwelt among us. The Son of the Highest was
here in this lower world. He was in the world, but not of it. He came to
save a lost world, because it was a world of his own making. Yet the world
knew him not. When he comes as a Judge, the world shall know him. Many say
that they are Christ's own, yet do not receive him, because they will not
part with their sins, nor have him to reign over them. All the children of
God are born again. This new birth is through the word of God as the means,
|1Pe 1:23|, and by the Spirit of God as the Author. By his Divine presence
Christ always was in the world. But now that the fulness of time was come,
he was, after another manner, Sbt-Tagged)***

But observe the beams of his Divine glory, which darted
through this veil of flesh. Men discover their weaknesses to those most
familiar with them, but it was not so with Christ; those most intimate with
him saw most of his glory. Although he was in the form of a servant, as to
outward circumstances, yet, in respect of graces, his form was like the Son
of God His Divine glory appeared in the holiness of his doctrine, and in
his miracles. He was full of grace, fully acceptable to his Father,
therefore qualified to plead for us; and full of truth, fully aware of the
things he was to reveal.
John 1:15-18
As to the order of time and entrance on his work, Christ came after John,
but in every other way he was before him. The expression clearly shows that
Jesus had existence before he appeared on earth as man. (Open Life.htm ) All fulness dwells in him, Open

from which
alone fallen sinners have, and shall receive, by faith, all that renders
them wise, strong, holy, useful, and happy. Our receivings by Christ are
all summed up in this one word, grace; we have received "even
grace," a gift so great, so rich, so
invaluable; the good will of God towards us, and the good work of God in
us. The law of God is holy, just, and good; and we should make the proper
use of it. But we cannot derive from it pardon, righteousness, or strength.
It teaches us to adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour, but it cannot
--supply the place of that doctrine. As no mercy comes from God to sinners
but through Jesus Christ, no man can come to the Father but by him; no man
can know God, except as he is made known in the only begotten and beloved
Son.-- From John

with the initials defined/W/BBD (SP* 1)
John 1 The scope and design of this chapter
is to confirm our faith in Christ as the eternal
Son of God,
(-EternalSonOfGod.htm defined /W/BBD(SP* 1) ) and the true
Messiah and Saviour of the world, that we may be brought to receive him, and
rely upon him, as our Prophet, Priest, and King, and to give up ourselves to be
ruled, and taught, and saved by him. In order to this, we have here, I. An
account given of him by the inspired penman himself, fairly laying down, in the
beginning, what he designed his whole book should be the proof of (John 1:1-5);
and again (John
1:10-14); and again, John 1:16-18.
II. The testimony of John Baptist concerning him (John 1:6-9;
and again, John
1:15); but most fully and particularly, John 1:19-37.
III. His own manifestation of himself
to Andrew and Peter (John 1:38-42),
to Philip and Nathanael, John 1:43-51.
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. (GOD
defined) /W/BBD(SP* 1) 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All
things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the
light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Austin says (de Civitate Dei,
lib. 10, cap. 29) that his friend Simplicius told him he had heard a Platonic
philosopher say that these first verses of St. John's gospel were worthy to be
written in letters of gold. The learned Francis Junius, in the account he
gives of his own life, tells how he was in his youth infected with loose
notions in religion, and by the grace of God was wonderfully recovered by
reading accidentally these verses in a bible which his father had designedly
laid in his way. He says that he observed such a divinity in the argument, such
an authority and majesty in the style, that his flesh trembled, and he was
struck with such amazement that for a whole day he scarcely knew where he was
or what he did; and thence he dates the beginning of his being religious. Let
us enquire what there is in those strong lines. The evangelist here lays down
the great truth he is to prove, that Jesus Christ is God, one with the Father.
Observe,
I.
Of
whom he speaks--The Word--ho logos. This is an idiom
peculiar to John's writings.
See 1 John
1:1,5:7,Re+19:13.(open 1Tim3:16 defined /W/BBD(SP* 1) -with 1Jn 5-7included defined)(NIV Translators) Yet some think that Christ is meant by the Word in Acts
20:32,Heb+4:12,Lu+1:2. The Chaldee paraphrase very frequently calls the
Messiah Memra--the Word of Jehovah, and speaks of many things in the Old
Testament, said to be done by the Lord, as done by that Word of the
Lord. Even the vulgar Jews were taught that the Word of God was the
same with God. The evangelist, in the close of his discourse (John 1:18),
John 1:1-18 defined /W/BBD(SP* 1 (ComputerCheck.htm/W/BBD(SP* 1) John3-16.htm defined /W/BBD(SP* 1) ) plainly tells us
why he calls Christ the Word--because he is the only begotten Son John3-16.htm defined /W/BBD(SP* 1), who is in the bosom of the
Father, and has declared him. Word is two-fold: logos endiathetos--word
conceived; and logos prophorikos--word uttered. The logos ho eso and ho exo, ratio
and oratio--intelligence and utterance. 1. There is the word
conceived, that is, thought, which is the first and only immediate
product and conception of the soul (all the operations of which are performed
by thought), and it is one with the soul. And thus the second person in
the Trinity is fitly called the Word; for he is the first-begotten of
the Father, that eternal essential Wisdom which the Lord possessed,
as the soul does its thought, in the beginning of his way,

highest part of the dust of the world. 27 When he prepared
the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass F33 upon the face of the depth: 28 When
he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the
deep: 29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the
waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of
the earth: 30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with
him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; 31 Rejoicing
in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of
men.

There is nothing we are more sure of than that we think, yet nothing we are
more in the dark about than how we think; who can declare the generation
of thought in the soul? Surely then the generations and births of the
eternal mind may well be allowed to be great mysteries of godliness, the bottom
of which we cannot fathom, while yet we adore the depth. 2. There is the word
uttered, and this is speech, the chief and most natural indication
of the mind. And thus Christ is the Word, for by him God has in these
last days spoken to us (Hebrews 1:2),
(Heb1-3.htm defined/W/BBD (SP* 1) ) and has directed us to hear
him, Matthew
17:5. (Oneness.htm(SP* 1) defined/W/BBD(SP* 1) ) He has made known God's mind to
us, as a man's word or speech makes known his thoughts, as far as he pleases,
and no further. Christ is called that wonderful speaker (see notes on Daniel 8:13),
the speaker of things hidden and strange. He is the Word
speaking from God to us, and to God for
us. John Baptist was the voice, but Christ the Word: being the
Word, he is the Truth, the Amen, the faithful Witness
of the mind of God.
