Here in the Bay
I just returned from a six-week trip to Washington State and now I am back in the Bay Area. I will be traveling back and forth to Sacramento for the next month or so before leaving on another trip up to the Northwest. The Lord willing, I will be there the entire month of July except for the last week in July when I go to Juneau, Alaska to visit my sons and their families. I have my first grandchild, Dylan, who I will be seeing for the first time.
John 1:1-14
The Eternal Word
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, andthe Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was madethat was made.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehenda it.
John’s Witness: The True Light
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 This mancame for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him mightbelieve.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of thatLight.
9 That was the true Light which gives light to every man cominginto the world.b
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and theworld did not know Him.
11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
13 whowere born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,but of God.
The Word Becomes Flesh
14 And the Word became 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.
