John 8:42-45
[42]Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
[43]Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
[44]Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
[45]And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Isaiah 55:11
[11]So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
John 6:38-40
[38]For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
[39]And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
[40]And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
And btw, who is able to raise us up at the last day - BUT GOD!??!!
John 4:34
[34]Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
John 1:1-5
[1]In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[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.
The light shines in the darkness and the darkness comprehends it not...
James 1:17
[17]Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
John 12:46
[46]I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
John 1:6-10, 15
[6]There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
[7]The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
[8]He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
[9]That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
[10]He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
[15]John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
Notice that John the Baptist, who was 6 months older than Jesus (according to the flesh) said that Jesus was before him.
Consider again...
John 8:56-58
[56]Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
[57]Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
[58]Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Speaking of (Jesus) the Word being Light .....
Psalm 119:105
[105]NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
See, John the Baptist was also a man sent by God. Yet, there is a distinction given.... "He was not that Light but was sent to bear witness of that Light."
There is only one true Light ....Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh. In Him was life and the life was the light of man.
Refer back to John 1:4... "In him was life; and the life was the light of men."
John 14:6-9
[6]Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
[7]If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
[8]Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
[9]Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Isaiah 9:6
[6]For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Now, back to John chapter one...and I will end here. The Word (which was/is God) was made flesh and dwelt among men. He was/is the way, the truth, the life, the light of men, the Creator, the mighty God, the everlasting Father.
John 1:14
[14]And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
I did this on a small phone screen so idk how cohesive it is till I post it. So many scriptures came to mind as I was typing. Idk if I posted them all.
