Life of Messiah 05 - The True Light of the World - John 1:6-18 Dr Fretwell

John 1:6–18 Explained: The Word Made Flesh, True Light, Grace & Truth | Gospel of John Prologue Bible Study This episode continues a Bible study through the prologue of John’s Gospel (John 1:6–18), highlighting John’s purpose: that people believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and have life in His name. It explains John the Baptist as a God-sent witness (his name meaning “Yahweh is gracious”) who testifies to Jesus as the true light, contrasting Christ with counterfeit “light” teachings. The lesson emphasizes humanity’s rejection of its Creator, yet those who receive Christ are born of God and given the right to become children of God through belief in His name. It focuses on the incarnation—“the Word became flesh and dwelt among us”—Christ’s unique glory, fullness of grace and truth, grace upon grace, the law through Moses, and Jesus as the one who reveals and explains the Father. 00:00 Picking Up John Prologue 01:49 Recap Word and Creation 04:19 John Baptist Mission 07:31 Name John Yahweh Gracious 09:47 Witness Martyr Meaning 13:41 Reflecting the True Light 15:06 True Light Versus Counterfeits 18:19 Creator Rejected by World 19:29 Offended by the Light 20:25 Right to Be God’s Children 22:11 Adoption and New Birth 26:20 Word Became Flesh 31:16 Witnessing in a Dark Culture 33:26 Grace Upon Grace 35:49 Law Moses to Christ 38:09 Jesus Explains the Father 39:55 High Christology Challenge Become a supporter and get unlimited questions turned into podcasts at: www.patreon.com/theologyandapologetics TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@dr.fretwell?_t=ZN-8w8NXIFTHkc&_r=1 Instagram: www.instagram.com/theology.apologetics Websites: www.ezrafoundation.org www.theologyandapologetics.com
