The WORD

John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. 

[Psalm 119:89 “For ever, O Lord, thy WORD is firmly fixed in the heavens”],

John 1:3 All things were made through him, and without him nothing was made that was made.

[Psalm 33:6 “By the WORD of the Lord were the heavens made…”] 

John 1:4a In him was life,

[Psalm 119:107 “I am sorely afflicted; give me life, O Lord, according to thy WORD!”]

John 1:4b and the life was the light of men.

[Psalm 119:105 “Thy WORD is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”] 

John 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

[Psalm 119:130 “The unfolding of thy WORD gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.”]
