John 1:14-18 The first eighteen verses of John's

Gospel provide a well written prologue to the entirety of the book.

By it, the reader could well understand the theme of Jesus' life

and ministry. In our current passage of study, John sets out to

exemplify Jesus' preeminence over every other person and every

subject matter in all of Scripture and all of eternity. He does so

by contrasting Jesus to five historical events in the history of

God's dealings with His people. In conclusion, we are provided

irrefutable attestation that nothing else in all of life or

eternity compares to Christ.
