| From Augustine's Tractates on John:
 |
Tractate I
(1:1-5)
| "Consider, then,
brethren, if perchance John is not one of those mountains concerning
whom we sang a little while ago, "I have lifted up mine eyes to
the mountains, from whence shall come my help.'" |
|
|
Tractate
II (1:6-14)
| "The light of minds
is above minds and surpasses all minds. This was that life by which
all things were made." |
|
|
Tractate III
(1:15-18)
| "Thus, therefore
all those to whom Christ came were not fit to see Him: upon John He
shed the beams of His light; and by means of him confessing himself
to have been irradiated and enlightened, not claiming to be one who
irradiates and enlightens, He is known who enlightens, He is known
who illuminates, He is known who fills." |
|
|
|
"Christ's Titles of Honor; His Coming: His Incarnation; and the
Revelation of His Glory," John 1:1-14,
Martin Luther, c. 1521. |
| From the Geneva Notes.
| "This word
"the" points out to us a peculiar and choice thing above all
others, and puts a difference between this "Word", which is
the Son of God, and the laws of God, which are also called the word of
God." |
|
| From
Matthew
Henry's Commentary.
| "The plainest reason
why the Son of God is called the Word, seems to be, that as our words
explain our minds to others, so was the Son of God sent in order to
reveal his Father's mind to the world." |
|
| From
Wesley's Notes.
| "When all things began
to be made by the Word: in the beginning of heaven and earth, and this
whole frame of created beings, the Word existed, without any beginning.
He was when all things began to be, whatsoever had a beginning." |
|
| From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "...in this dark, fallen
world, or in mankind "sitting in darkness and the shadow of
death," with no ability to find the way either of truth or of
holiness. In this thick darkness, and consequent intellectual and
moral obliquity, "the light of the Word" shineth--by all
the rays whether of natural or revealed teaching which men (apart
from the Incarnation of the Word) are favored with" |
|
| "The
True Tabernacle, and Its Glory of Grace and Peace," John 1:14,17,
Charles H. Spurgeon, 1885.
| "There is now no spot
on earth where God dwells in preference to another...Yet there is a true
house of, a real temple of the infinite, a living abode of the Godhead." |
|
| From The People's
New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
| "God exhibits his
creative power through the Word, and manifests his will through the
Word." |
|
| "Exposition of John
1:1-34," Charles H. Spurgeon, 1892.
| "You may sometimes call
the darkness, the ignorance of men, or the sin of men. If you like, you
may call it the wisdom of men, and the righteousness of men, for that is
only another form of the same darkness. 'The light shineth in
darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.'" |
|
| "Simplicity
and Sublimity of Salvation," John 1:11-13, Charles H. Spurgeon, 1892.
| "That religion which
leaves out the person of Christ, has left out the essential point. Thou
art not saved by believing a doctrine, though it is well for thee to
believe it if it be true. Thou art not saved by practising an ordinance,
though thou shouldst practise it if thou art one of those to whom it
belongs. Thou art not saved by any belief except this, believing on
Christ's name, and receiving him." |

Exegetical
Notes, Christmas 2, by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks
Christian Resources.
| "It is hard to express love in
mere words, so poems and works of art are created to try and capture
the emotion of love. Christianity is filled with art and songs,
because it is a religion based on God's love for us here on earth." |

eternal import and abiding significance. But to what end?" |

Reflections, John 1:(1-9), 10-18, Kristin Johnston Largen,
Lectionary Homiletics sample, 2009.
|
"I
would argue that this text from the Gospel of John offers a helpful
corrective to the stories in Matthew and Luke, which, although
certainly theologically rich and powerful, run the risk of being
patronized and trivialized." |
|
|
"First
Thoughts on Year C Passages in
the Lectionary," Christmas 2, William Loader, Murdoch University,
Uniting Church in Australia.
| "It makes sense to link together: the
divine Law, the order of creation and Wisdom. It is like saying: here we
see the real meaning of life, the principle which holds all things
together, the way God intended things to be." |

| "However, before God breathed us he breathed
salvation. Before sin occurred love existed, before death was life,
and before sickness, God breathed the cure. God created the antidote
before we chose the poison. Jesus was not a band-aid, he was the
cure." |

|
"Penetrating
the Darkness," Ronald Goetz, The Christian Century,
1988. At Religion Online.
| "It would be truly horrendous
to be in the hands of an all-intrusive God who never left us alone,
and who, when it came time to send his messiah, sent one who ruled
the earth like some heavenly Mussolini. In the very unobtrusiveness
of the light of Christ, God honors our finite freedom." |
|
|
"The
Message and the Messenger," John Stendahl, The Christian
Century, 1997. At Religion Online.
| "Gifts -- like words -- are
not always and only messages, units of communication. Sometimes they
are simply expressive, the exclamations of our hearts and hopes.
They may communicate, but the sending of a message is not the
intent. In such giving we forget ourselves and just watch. Our
delight is in the delight of the other." |

earth-centered reflections from the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota Environmental
Stewardship Commission:
|
| Commentary by Hall Harris at the Biblical
Studies Foundation:
|
| At Kerux: The Online Journal of
Biblical Theology (Reformed):
|
"Come
and See," James T. Dennison Jr.
| "Following the
shift of focus by John the Baptist from himself to Jesus (1:19-34),
the key word in 1:35-51 is "follow" (Greek akolouthein).
Those with a personal attachment to Jesus are followers of the
Christ (1:37,38,40,43)." |
|
|
"Your
Life is the Worship of Jesus Christ," William D. Dennison
Jr.
| "Between John 1:14
and the Old Testament, we notice a very important grammatical
connection. The Greek word for "dwell" (cf. John 1:14) has
a direct relationship with the Hebrew word which means
"pitching a tent" or "making a dwelling." More
importantly, the Greek verb "to tent" (skenoo = "to
dwell" or "to tabernacle"John 1:14) resembles the
Hebrew root skn from which the Hebrew noun shekinah is
derived as the technical term for describing God's presence
"dwelling" among his people." |
|
|
"The
Prologue of John's Gospel," James T. Dennison Jr.
| "The inauguration
of the fourth gospel is like an Alpine vista (some have suggested
these verses are the Mt. Olympus of the gospels). We are raised to
the heights of eternity from which we gaze out upon the evangelist's
landscape." |
|
|
"Life,
Light, Lamb and the Logos," James T. Dennison Jr.
| "You are part of a
cosmic dramaa new creation! You have turned the corner of the
ages. The Prologue of John's gospel is yoursthe Logos is yours!" |
|
|
| "What
Child is This? (John 1:1-8)" by Robert Deffinbaugh at the
Biblical Studies Foundation.
| "Johns prologue
provides us with insights which enhance our understanding and
appreciation of the birth narratives of Matthew and Luke. These two
Gospels highlight the humanity of our Lord, without denying His deity.
Johns Gospel highlights the deity of Jesus Christ, without minimizing
His humanity." |
|
|
"The
Light of God in Action," George A.F. Knight. Adapted from Christ the Center
(Eerdmans, 1999). At Religion On-Line.
(extended discussion of God/Christ as logos)
| "The appropriate word to be used
in connection with 'the road traveled' by the authors of both Genesis and Exodus is
'grace,' for grace represents the love of God incarnate in his saving initiative. John now
interpolates this word at this point (1:14) to exegete this new genesis and exodus in the
coming of Christ." |

The Humiliation of
the Word, Jaques Ellul. Full text at Religion Online.
| "The word is, of necessity,
spoken to someone. If no one is present, it is spoken to oneself or
to God. It presupposes an ear; the Great Ear, if necessary. It calls
for a response. Every word, even a swearword, an insult, an
exclamation, or a soliloquy, begins a dialogue." |
|
|
"A
Bayesian Analysis of John 1:1," Stephen Carlson.
| "Although the placement of
QeoV before the verb,
without the article, is evidence for a qualitative meaning, it is very weak evidence for
it, due to the fact the QeoV is overwhelmingly definite in
John. This is not the kind of question that can be decided by the use of statistics.
Rather, good old-fashioned exegesis is called for." |
