John 1:13-17

These are the children born not in the usual way, not as the result of human desire or a father's decision, but born of God.

The Word became human and lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son, full of grace and truth.

John gave his testimony about him, shouting out to the people, “This is the one I was telling you about when I said, ‘The one who is coming after me is more important than me, for before I ever existed he already was.’”

We have all been recipients of his generous nature, one gracious gift after another.

The law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
