I was reading John 1 this morning and I thought...how much more meaning does John 1 have when you realise that it's talking about Jesus?! It's clearly talking about Jesus but when I read it over again and chucked Jesus in whenever John was talking about him, it was so much clearer! Check it out:"In the beginning was Jesus, and Jesus was with God, and Jesus was God. Jesus was with God in the beginning. Through Jesus all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In Jesus was life and that life was the light of men. Jesus shines in the darness but the darkness has not understood.
There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning Jesus, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he only came as a witness to the light. The true light, Jesus, who gives light to every man was coming in the world.
Jesus was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognise him. Jesus came to that which was his own, but his own did not recieve him. Yet to all who recieve Jesus, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
Jesus became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."
John 1:1-14 (Adapted from NIV)
