15. Jesus
John 1:1, 3, 4, 9, 14, 18: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God....
Through him all things were made.... In him was life and that life was the light of men....
The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. [Specifically] the Word became flesh and made his dwelling [literally “tabernacled”] among us.
We have seen his glory, the [shekinah] glory of the One-and-Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth....
No one has ever seen God, but God-the-One-and-Only, who is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.
