In the beginning …
(John 1:1-2 NIV)
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God. {2} He
was with God in the beginning.
Recalls Genesis 1:1
An affirmation of Jesus’ deity
Creation and order are key themes of scripture
G.K. Pennington 2002
12
Creation in the Old Testament





Genesis 1-2 Counters early pagan cosmology
The ten plagues challenge Egyptian cosmology
The Psalms revel in creation language
Isaiah 40-66 has several creation references
Job has references to creation from Job and God
Creation concepts shape our image of God
G.K. Pennington 2002
13
Creation in the New Testament
(Col 1:16-17 NIV)
{16} For by him (Jesus) all things were
created: things in heaven and on earth,
visible and invisible, whether thrones or
powers or rulers or authorities; all things
were created by him and for him.
{17} He is before all things, and in him all
things hold together.
G.K. Pennington 2002
14
(Eph 3:9 NIV)
…and to make plain to everyone
the administration of this mystery,
which for ages past was kept
hidden in God, who created all
things.
G.K. Pennington 2002
15
(Heb 1:2 NIV)
…but in these last days he has
spoken to us by his Son, whom
he appointed heir of all things, and
through whom he made the
universe.
G.K. Pennington 2002
16
(Acts 14:15 NIV)
… We are bringing you good news, telling
you to turn from these worthless things to
the living God, who made heaven and
earth and sea and everything in
them.
G.K. Pennington 2002
17
(Rev 4:11 NIV)
"You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive
glory and honor and power, for you created

all things, and by your will they were
created and have their being."
Christianity helped reshape the
creation concepts of much of the
world, moving from pagan myth to a
biblical monotheistic model for
origins.
G.K. Pennington 2002
18
The deity of Jesus is a primary
point of the prologue.
John 1:1-18
G. K. Pennington
19
(John 1:1-4 NIV)
{1} In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God.
{2} He was with God in the beginning. {3}
Through him all things were made; without
him nothing was made that has been made.
{4} In him was life, and that life was the light
of men.
G.K. Pennington 2002

John the Baptist
(A Witness)
{5} The light shines in the darkness, but
the darkness has not understood it. {6}
There came a man who was sent from
God; his name was John. {7} He came as
a witness to testify concerning that light,
so that through him all men might
believe. {8} He himself was not the
light; he came only as a witness to the
light.
G.K. Pennington 2002
22
Purpose of the Incarnation
{9} The true light that gives light to every man
was coming into the world. {10} He was in the
world, and though the world was made
through him, the world did not recognize him.
{11} He came to that which was his own, but
his own did not receive him. {12} Yet to all
who received him, to those who believed
in his name, he gave the right to become
children of God-- {13} children born not of
natural descent, nor of human decision or a
husband's will, but born of God.
G.K. Pennington 2002
23
The Word Became Flesh
{14} The Word became flesh and made his
dwelling among us. We have seen his
glory, the glory of the One and Only,
who came from the Father, full of grace
and truth.


John skips the genealogy, birth story, and
reference of Jesus childhood.
His story focuses on the glory of the glory of
the One and Only Son.
G.K. Pennington 2002
24
John the Baptist’s Testimony
{15} John testifies concerning him. He
cries out, saying, "This was he of whom I
said, 'He who comes after me has
surpassed me because he was before
me.'"
G.K. Pennington 2002
25
The Results of Jesus Coming
{16} From the fullness of his grace we
have all received one blessing after
another. {17} For the law was given
through Moses; grace and truth came
through Jesus Christ. {18} No one has
ever seen God, but God the One and
Only, who is at the Father's side, has
made him known.

Anticipating the Main Event
G.K. Pennington 2002
35
More than Seven Signs!!!



This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus
performed at Cana in Galilee. (John 2:11 NIV)
Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover
Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs he
was doing and believed in his name. (John 2:23 NIV)
He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we
know you are a teacher who has come from God.
For no one could perform the miraculous signs
you are doing if God were not with him." (John 3:2 NIV)
G.K. Pennington 2002
36
and
a great crowd of people followed him because
they saw the miraculous signs he had performed on
the sick. (John 6:2 NIV)
Still,
many in the crowd put their faith in him. They
said, "When the Christ comes, will he do more
miraculous signs than this man?" (John 7:31 NIV)
…
But others asked, "How can a sinner do such
miraculous signs?" So they were divided. (John
9:16 NIV)
G.K. Pennington 2002
37
Then
the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting
of the Sanhedrin. "What are we accomplishing?" they
asked. "Here is this man performing many miraculous
signs. (John 11:47)
Even
after Jesus had done all these miraculous signs in
their presence, they still would not believe in him. (John
12:37 NIV)
Jesus
did many other miraculous signs in the presence
of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.
(John 20:30 NIV)
G.K. Pennington 2002
38
The Purpose of the Signs
But these are written that you
may believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God, and that
by believing you may have life in
his name.
(John 20:31 NIV)
G.K. Pennington 2002

gospel.

remembered that it is written: "Zeal for
your house will consume me."

John 13-17
Most of this material is found only in John.
This section shifts from Jesus’ ministry to the
coming ministry of the disciples.
It is suggested that this section is patterned
after Moses’ farewell address using the terms
“love, obey, live, know, and see”.

The Purpose of Signs

(John 20:30-31 NIV) Jesus did many other
miraculous signs in the presence of his
disciples, which are not recorded in this
book. {31} But these are written that you
may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son
of God, and that by believing you may have
life in his name.

Jesus did many other things as well. If every

that even the whole world would not have
room for the books that would be written.
