John 1:1-13
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it
There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.He was in the world, and though the world was made through him,the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
Matthew and Luke begin their story at the time of Jesus' birth. Mark at the start of his ministry. John's introduction goes right back to the very beginning. The story of Jesus does not begin with a human birth: this Gospel concerns 'the Word', one who shares God's own nature, who was God's executive in creation. When God spoke, his Word brought life itself into existence.
Now comes the stupendous truth: this same Word became a human being in the person of Jesus. He lived among us. John says. 'We saw his glory.' His life shone out against the darkness of a world which largely failed to recognize him - even his own people. But those who did receive him are blessed with God's loving forgiveness. They are accepted and welcomed into God's family his adopted children.
Why?
Jesus is the light who is with the Lord in the beginning.
The word of the Lord is from the beginning, through the word of God made the world and all mankind.
Without the Jesus there is darkness for Jesus is the light.
Jesus bring the life and hope and light to mankind, anyone can receive him as children of the Lord, but this world reject Him. But accepted Him are welcomed into God’s family.

耶穌基督是道：是道、是神。道成了肉身、是神的兒子。耶穌基督的超越性，是創造者，我們是被造的。超越時間，即在時間以外的那一位！超過一切自然規律。
耶穌基督是真光： 要照在黑暗裏，使在黑暗中的人得到光。但是世界卻不接受光！黑暗中的人反而習慣的避開光，人的羞恥會被顯出來。光照的目的是不是羞辱人而是除去人的羞辱。接受真光的人是神生的，有神的性情，生命！不是神收養的。
信：不僅是承認，而且是接待真光，使我們一切羞恥都被除去！讓我們謙卑降服接受真光！
耶穌基督是神的獨生子

How?
Jesus is the Lord in the beginning, Jesus is the light to shine on this darkness world.
