What Are The Keys To Understanding John 1:1-7?
Message from Shabbat service at Tarzana, September 2, 2023
At this service, Alan Radecki, one of our Leadership Team members shares from God's Word and presents a wonderful message on John 1:1-14. In it he provides 7 keys to understanding this very complex but invigorating passage. Alan draws our attention to: 1. John's use of "chiasms." 2. The deliberate connection to the creation account in Genesis. 3. The subtle revelation of the Triune nature and character of God. 4. The nature and character of the Word who was with God and was God. 5. The important theme of "light" in the Scriptures. 6. John the Baptist the herald of the King as the promised witness. 7. God the creator and restorer of life.
