Read through the chapter carefully and answer the questions. You can do this individually, over the phone or even through Facebook chat. At the end of the month when we meet at the church we will discuss the questions and your answers!

John Chapter 1
1.Who is John talking about when he says “the Word?” What roles does the Word play in the creation of the world?
2.Who is John the Baptist? What was his mission (what was he on earth to do)?
3.Did the world expect Jesus to come? Why do you think the world did not expect him to come? Why do you think everyone was caught off guard by the way Jesus came?
4.What does verse 17 mean when it says that he Law was given to Moses? What do you think it means when it says that “grace and truth come from Jesus”?
5.Why do you think John did not say he was the Messiah? He could have gained great power through doing so but did not. Why?
6.How can John’s mission in verse 23 also be our mission as Christians?
7.Why do you think John felt so unworthy to baptize Jesus?
8.What do you think the spirit of the dove symbolizes in verse 32?
9.What do you think it means when it says that Jesus “baptizes with the Holy Spirit?” (If the Holy Spirit brings us closer to God, what does it mean when we are baptizes in the Holy Spirit?)
10.What did Andrew do as soon as he met Jesus and realized who he was? Why is this important? How was Peter’s life changed by what his brother did? How can this relate to us?
11.What kinds of things do you think Jesus meant when he told Nathaniel that he would “see greater things than these?”
12.What does it mean for Jesus to both be the “Son of God” and the “Son of Man”?
