Joshua 15, Joshua 16, John 1:1-28, Psalm 71:19-24
John 1: 1-5 (ESV)
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made
through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was
life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and
the darkness has not overcome it.”
I love verses 1 through 5 from John 1. I never really
understood these verses until I saw Episode 1 from Season 2 of The Chosen
series. The writers of the show came up with a creative and interesting way to
show how John might have come up with these verses. The “Word” is Jesus Christ
and he was with God because he is part of the Trinity along with the Holy
Spirit. Christ was with God when the world was created, and the world was
created through Christ and God. Christ
and God are the life and light in men. The light of God and Christ
shines in the darkness, and the darkness still has not overcome the light of
God and Christ. I’m sure Biblical
scholars, pastors, and people who study the Bible have pondered what these verses
mean, but I like the meaning that The Chosen series writers came up with in Episode
1 from the 2nd season of The Chosen series.
Here's a clip showing an interaction between John and Jesus
from The Chosen Season 2, Episode 1:
