In the beginning, there was the Word
Through Him, all things were assured
He came to the earth
To bring us new birth
And in Him, our salvation is secured

Potential actions to take in response

One practical way to respond to the teaching of John 1:1-14 is to meditate on the concept of Jesus as the Word made flesh. Take time to reflect on the significance of Jesus being described as the Word, and how this reflects his role as the ultimate communicator of God’s message to humanity.

Consider how you can emulate Jesus in your own life as a messenger of God’s truth and love to those around you. This could involve engaging in intentional conversations with others about faith, sharing the good news of Jesus, or simply living out the message of the gospel through your actions and attitudes.

Additionally, take time to dwell on the idea of Jesus as the light of the world. Think about how you can allow his light to shine through you and make a positive impact on those around you. This might involve seeking opportunities to bring hope and encouragement to others, or actively working to combat darkness and injustice in the world.

Ultimately, the key is to allow the truth of these verses to transform your heart and mind, leading to a deeper understanding of Jesus and a greater desire to reflect his character in your daily life.
