As we saw in the last lesson on John’s Prologue, the first words of John’s gospel, “In the beginning,” forge a link with the beginning of the entire Bible. In fact, we can easily find similarities between the opening chapters of Genesis and these opening verses of John, for example, themes of creation, life, light, and darkness. Furthermore, as we continue to read John’s Prologue, we also discover that many of these same themes are developed in remarkable ways throughout the rest of his Gospel. In this lesson we explore some of those themes in preparation for launching into the rest of John, glimpsing all that God has in store for us in this marvelous Gospel.
