Scripture
~ “There was a man sent from God, whose name
was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all
through him might believe. He was not
that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light which gives light to
every man coming into the world. He was
in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know
Him. He came to His own, and His own did
not receive Him. But as many as received
Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe
in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of
the will of man, but of God. And the
Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of
the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John
bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, ‘This was He of whom I said, “He
who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.”’ And of His fullness we have all received, and
grace for grace. For the law was given
through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of
the Father, He has declared Him” (John 1:6-18).
