John's gospel or good news testimonial to Jesus' person and nature is summarized in this key verse- And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. -John 1-14 ESV--Who is this Word-- What is the nature and purpose of his coming-- To fully grasp the meaning of this sentence we must consider the context. The context constitutes verses 1 through 18 which we call his Prologue, -the word before the word- that sums what the writing that follows consists of and serves as an introduction to its layout.
