In Him Was Life | Daily Sabbath School Lesson | Quarter 4 2024

In John 1:1, the apostle clearly states that Jesus is God, the divine Son. Consequently, in John 1:4—“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men” (NKJV)—the reference to life here has to be divine life, underived eternal self-existence. Because He has life within Himself, He can lay down
His life and take it again (John 10:17). And, because He has life within, He can give life to whom He will (John 5:21; compare with John 14:19). This term life (zoē) appears 36 times in the Gospel of John, about 25 percent of the uses in the New Testament. In John 1:4, 5, besides refer ring to the Source of life on our planet, the word is also linked to salvation. Throughout the rest of John, this idea of life (zoē) is most often expressed as everlasting life, the promise of salvation (see John 3:15,
16, 36; John 4:14, 36; John 6:27, 40, 47, 54, 68; and John 10:27, 28). Thus, the One who gave life at Creation is the same One who brings salvation, eternal life, to a lost world. Why did Jesus come to this earth? John 1:29, John 3:16, John 6:40, John 10:10, John 12:27.
