Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 1:1-51

Shall we turn in our Bibles to the gospel according to John.The gospel of John was the last of the gospels that were written.

John begins the new creation with the words of Moses of the old creation, and continues to speak of Christ in the running language of all the ancient rabbinical theology, that the Word was before Creation was.

John 1:14The Word was made flesh and dwelt among usThe God-Man satisfying the desire of humanityI.THE DESIRE. The desire of a Saviour had attained its maturity in the period of universal decline which preceded the Advent. This desire was a prophecy of its own satisfaction because inspired, nourished and developed by the God to whom the heart addresses itself.

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - John 1:14

And the Word was made 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.Flesh sometimes signifies corrupt nature; sometimes the body; sometimes, as here, the whole man.We beheld his glory — We his apostles, particularly Peter, James, and John, Luke 9:32.Grace and truth — We are all by nature liars and children of wrath, to whom both grace and truth are unknown. But we are made partakers of them, when we are accepted... read more
