THE PRE-EXISTENCE OF JESUS John 1:1-14: 3:16 & 17 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and JOY TO THE WORLD the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. Joy to the world! The Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And Heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing, and heaven, and heaven and nature sing. All things were made by him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness, The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, and wonders, and wonders of His love. ak 36 36 2k Oe 96 9K 2 he ee Ie 3 oe ie 26 26 2 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which was born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 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. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
