      LESSON 1

      The Deity of Jesus Christ

      ____________________________

      JOHN, Chapter 1

      God’s Revelation: The Word was God (1:1-18)

      John describes Jesus Christ as the Light of Life. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 1:4

      The Word of verse 1 is the eternal Son of God, Who took upon Himself flesh and blood (1:14) in order to reveal to us the true character of God (1:18) and in order to give light to all men (1:4).

      1. How many times do the following words appear in John 1:1-18?

      2. What did the Word of verse 1 become?

      1:14 _____________________________________________________

      3. Whom did Jesus reveal?

      1:18 _____________________________________________________

      4. Who was the light of men?

      1:4 ______________________________________________________

      5. What must one do in order to become a son of God?

      1:12 _____________________________________________________

      Would you like to see the glory, the righteousness, the wisdom and the grace of God? You will see all of this and more if you will give yourself wholeheartedly to the study of the life of Christ in these lessons. God, who revealed portions of His truth in many ways to men by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, Jesus Christ.

      6. By whom did God’s law come into the world?

      1:17 _____________________________________________________

      By whom did grace and truth come?

      1:17 _____________________________________________________

      7. The new birth is distinct from natural birth. It is not the result of any human achievement. What, then, is its source?

      1:13 _____________________________________________________

      8. Through whom has the invisible God revealed Himself?

      1:18 _____________________________________________________

      John’s Witness: Behold the Lamb (1:19-51)

      We see here the testimony of John the Baptist concerning the Lord Jesus, and also the attraction of certain disciples to Christ.

      9. When John said concerning himself, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, from what Old Testament prophet was he quoting?

      1:23 _____________________________________________________

      10. What was John’s testimony concerning Jesus?

      1:29 _____________________________________________________

      11. In what form did John see the Spirit descend on Jesus?

      1:32 _____________________________________________________

      12. John referred to Jesus as the Lamb of God (1:29). What additional title did he give to Him?

      1:34 _____________________________________________________

      13. What testimony did Andrew give concerning Jesus?

      1:41 _____________________________________________________

      14. What Old Testament writers spoke of Jesus of Nazareth?

      1:45 _____________________________________________________

      15. With what words did Jesus describe Nathaniel’s character?

      1:47 _____________________________________________________

      16. Nathanael, in turn, gave three titles to Jesus. What were they?

      1:49 a. _______________b. _______________c. _______________

      Ancient Jewish prophets foretold that a messenger would arrive before Christ, the world-Redeemer, to prepare the way for Him. John the Baptist was that promised messenger. To prepare men’s hearts for Christ, John commanded them to repent of their sins. Those who repented he baptized in the Jordan River.

      Note:

      The Levites were members of the tribe of Levi who assisted the priests. 1:19

      Elias (Elijah) was an Old Testament prophet whom the Jews expected would return. 1:21

      Esaias (Isaiah) was a Jewish prophet. 1:23

      Pharisees were members of a strictly orthodox religious party of the Jews. 1:24

      Son of man was a term Jesus applied to Himself because, though truly God, He assumed human likeness to accomplish our salvation. 1:51

      Prayer: O God, through this study bring light into my life. Help me to know, to love, and to serve Thee. Amen.
