1:1-18 is called the “Prologue” to the whole Gospel of John, and

Witnesses have made a big deal out of 1:1, where it states that Jesus
the “Word” was “God”, but without being preceded by the
definite article “the”. They say that he was but “a God”,
while the Father was “the God.” I challenged one young Jehovah's
Witness leader in charge of a group - “If I could show you a
passage, even from your own Interlinear Greek NT, the “Emphatic
Diaglott”, where Jesus is called “the” God, would you
acknowledge that your doctrine of making Jesus less the the Father is
false? “Yes”, he said, “but you can't do that.” “Turn to
John 20:28,” I said, “and read to me.” Here Thomas, when he saw
the resurrected Christ with the nail-prints in His hands and feet,
and the mark of the sword-thrust in His side, fell at His feet and
said to Him, My “the” Lord, and my “</span></span></span><u><span style="font-style:normal"><span>the</span></span></u><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none"><span>”
God. </span></span></span></font>

<font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">This young man was immediately
chagrined and at a loss before a home group of some 20 that he was
seeking to disciple. One of our church members had been invited to
attend this group, but told the leader she didn't think her pastor
would approve of the teaching. “Invite him to come,” he
challenged, “and tell him he can challenge me in any area where he
has a problem. Following my challenge he said, “I have had a dozen
or so pastors challenge me in the past, but you are the first one
that has put me into a losing situation.”</font></p>

<font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">I love 1:14, telling how Jesus
took on our human form to tabernacle among us, like Moses' Tabernacle
in the Wilderness. For those with eyes to see, they could see the
glory of the Father shining through the body of Jesus in His three
year ministry amongst us. It was following the Holy Spirit descending
on Him as a Dove that this manifestation with the Signs and Wonders
commenced. Jesus did not perform a miracle prior to that time, in
spite of some of the statements in apocryphal books.</font></p>

contrast between the ministry of Moses and Jesus cannot be more
clearly stated than in 1:17. And 1:18 makes it clear that all we know
or can know of the Father, is only through Jesus Christ. God has
chosen </span></span></span><u><span style="font-style:normal"><span>Him</span></span></u><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none"><span>
to manifest the fullness of the invisible God. Oswald Chambers in his
