Contrary to the claims of politicians and some church leaders, Jesus is the only true light in this dark world . According to the Apostle John, life is found in Jesus of Nazareth, and that life is “ the light of men .” This light radiates in the darkness, but “ the darkness cannot comprehend it .” Christ himself declared, “ I am the light of the world .” Every man and woman who follows him has the light of life and therefore no longer walks in darkness – (John 1:1-4, 8:12).

Contrairement aux affirmations des politiciens et de certains dirigeants de l'Église, Jésus est la seule vraie lumière dans ce monde sombre . Selon l'apôtre Jean, la vie se trouve en Jésus de Nazareth, et cette vie est “ la lumière des hommes .” Cette lumière rayonne dans les ténèbres, mais “ les ténèbres ne peuvent pas la comprendre .” Le Christ lui-même a déclaré, “ Je suis la lumière du monde .” Tout homme et femme qui le suit a la lumière de la vie et par conséquent ne marche plus dans les ténèbres – (Jean 1:1-4, 8: 12).

Jesus is the interpretive key that unlocks the Hebrew Scriptures, Bible prophecy, and the Mysteries of God . Jesus is the one who unveils the Mysteries of God. Only he is qualified to reveal the nature of the “ unseen God .” In him, all the promises of God find their substance. He is the  interpretive key  that unlocks the Hebrew Scriptures and provides the correct understanding of Bible prophecy.

Os mistérios anteriormente ocultos de Deus são revelados em Jesus, e especialmente em sua morte e Ressurreição, o ponto de virada da história . A Bíblia fala “ dos mistérios ” de Deus, Seus caminhos que estão escondidos da sabedoria humana e desafiam as expectativas. Como Jesus declarou, nem todos podem entender “ os mistérios do Reino .” É Deus quem revela as coisas profundas e obscuras a quem lhe agrada, e em seu filho, o fez para que todos os homens vejam. Ou pelo menos, para quem tem “ olhos que podem ver .”

The previously hidden mysteries of God are revealed in Jesus, and especially so in his Death and Resurrection, History’s turning point . The Bible   speaks of the “ mysteries ” of God, His ways that are hidden from human wisdom and defy expectations. As Jesus declared, not everyone can understand the “ mysteries of the Kingdom .” It is God who reveals the deep and obscure things to whomever He pleases, and in His Son, He has done so for all men to see. Or at least, for those with “ eyes that can see .”

Seul Jésus est la Lumière du Monde, l'expression de Dieu et la source de la vérité, de la vie et du salut, et lui seul règne en maître . Depuis des temps immémoriaux, les présidents, les rois, les dictateurs et les trompeurs religieux ont prétendu être le meilleur espoir de paix et de prospérité de l'humanité, des remparts autoproclamés de l'ordre qui retiennent les ténèbres qui menacent de submerger la société. Aujourd'hui, ce fléau de  charlatans  est pire que jamais,  surtout dans nos églises et dans l'arène politique .

Jesus reveals the meaning of Scripture, the understanding of the future, and the nature and mysteries of God . Jesus unveils the Divine mysteries, and only he is qualified to reveal the nature and glory of the unseen God. All the promises of God find their fulfillment in him.  Christ unlocks the scriptures, and there is no true knowledge of God apart from him.

God has spoken His definitive word in His Son. All previous words given by the prophets were preparatory, promissory, and partial . The  Letter to the   Hebrews  encourages us not to abandon Jesus when difficult times come. It does so by emphasizing the superiority of what God has done in His “ Son .” The Word “ spoken ” in Jesus is superior to the earlier revelations provided “ to the fathers in the prophets .” The Letter compares the Levitical system with its incomplete rituals to the “ better ” priesthood and “ once for all ” sacrifice of the “ Son ,” Jesus Christ.

God has spoken clearly and decisively in His Son, the same Word by which God created life and the ages . The  Gospel of John  begins by identifying Jesus as the ‘ Logos ’ (λογος), the “ Word ” through which God made all things. This theme is prominent in John’s Gospel.   It builds on traditional ideas from the Hebrew Bible about God creating the world through His spoken Word. Jesus Christ is the Living Expression of that Divine word -  (“ By the word of the LORD were the heavens made… ” - Psalm 33:6-9. Compare John 1:1-4).

Dieu a parlé clairement et de manière décisive dans Son Fils, la même Parole par laquelle Dieu a créé la vie et les âges . L'Évangile de Jean  commence par identifier Jésus comme le ‘ Logos ’ (λογος), la “ Parole ” par laquelle Dieu a fait toutes choses. Ce thème est important dans l'Évangile de Jean. Il s'appuie sur les idées traditionnelles de la Bible hébraïque sur Dieu créant le monde à travers Sa Parole parlée. Jésus-Christ est l'Expression Vivante de cette parole Divine - (“ Par la parole du Seigneur les cieux ont été faits… ” - Psaume 33:6-9. Comparez Jean 1: 1-4).

Иисус - это Слово, ставшее плотью, через которое открывается слава Божья, то же самое Слово, посредством которого Бог сотворил все сущее . В  Евангелии от Иоанна  Иисус назван ‘ Логосом ’ (‘ Logos ’. λογος), “ Словом ”, посредством которого Бог сотворил Вселенную. Эта тема занимает важное место в  Евангелии от Иоанна . Оно основано на традиционных представлениях еврейской Библии о том, как Бог сотворил мир, особенно жизнь, посредством Своего изреченного Слова. Иисус из Назарета - живое выражение этого созидательного слова.

Jezus ontsluit de Hebreeuwse Geschriften, openbaart de goddelijke natuur en manifesteert de verlossende doeleinden van de God van Israël . Jezus onthult de kennis van God en voert zijn verlossingsplan uit. Hij is het middelpunt van de bedoelingen van zijn vader en de sleutel tot het begrijpen van de Hebreeuwse Geschriften. Alleen de Nazarener is gekwalificeerd om de onzichtbare God te openbaren, en door Christus alleen worden alle beloften van God vervuld.

Jesus unlocks the Hebrew Scriptures, reveals the Divine nature, and manifests the redemptive purposes of the God of Israel . Jesus unveils the knowledge of God and implements His plan of redemption. He is the center of his Father’s purposes and the key to understanding the Hebrew Scriptures. Only the Nazarene is qualified to reveal the invisible God, and through Christ alone, all the promises of God are fulfilled.

Deus revela sua natureza, desbloqueia as escrituras e dá vida eterna aos homens e mulheres por meio de Seu Filho, Jesus de Nazaré . Jesus revela a natureza de Deus. O homem de Nazaré encarna o coração e a meta dos esforços criativos e redentores de seu pai. Ele é o único em quem a glória do Criador é revelada, e somente ele é qualificado para interpretar seu pai. Em Cristo, todas as promessas de Deus para seus filhos encontram seu significado e cumprimento.  O Messias crucificado é a única fonte de vida e verdade eterna .

Jesus is the One through whom God unlocks scripture, reveals His nature, and provides everlasting life to men and women . Jesus reveals the nature of God. The man from Nazareth embodies the heart and goal of his Father’s creative and redemptive efforts. He is the only One in whom the glory of the Creator is unveiled, and he alone is qualified to interpret His Father. In Christ, all the promises of God for His children find their significance and fulfillment.  The Crucified Messiah is the only source of life and eternal truth.

Jésus est le véritable et unique moyen d'accès au Père, au Plus Grand Tabernacle et à la Maison de Dieu  - Jean 1: 47-50. L'Évangile de Jean  présente Jésus comme  la Vraie Maison de Dieu . Il est la voie d'accès à la présence de Dieu qui est maintenant ouverte à tous les hommes. L'homme de Nazareth est devenu le Véritable  Béthel , la “ Maison de Dieu .” Désormais, le Ciel est ouvert à tous les hommes, et les anges “ montent et descendent ” sur le “ Fils de l'Homme .” Ce que Jacob a vu dans une vision il y a longtemps est devenu réalité en Jésus-Christ.

Jesus is the Word made flesh, the Greater Tabernacle where the glory of God is manifested and resides forevermore  – John 1:14. The Prologue of John’s Gospel presents key themes of the Book, most critically, that Jesus is “ the Word that became flesh .” Life and light are found in Christ. He is the true and final “ Tabernacle ” where the presence of God permanently dwells. In this flesh and blood human being, the glory of God is manifested for all men and women to see.

The fullness, grace, and truth of God are found in the Word made Flesh, Jesus of Nazareth, who alone has seen the unseen God – John 1:14-18. The Prologue to the  Gospel of John  introduces key themes of the Book, including  Life ,  Light ,  Witness ,  Truth ,  Glory , and  Grace .  Jesus of Nazareth is the Light of the world, the source of Grace and Truth, the True Tabernacle in whom God dwells, the only born Son of God, and the only one who has seen the Father. The Prologue concludes by declaring that the Son is the only one qualified to interpret God since he alone has seen the  Unseen God .

The fullness, grace, and truth of God are found only in the Word made Flesh, namely, Jesus Christ of Nazareth – John 1:14-18. The  Gospel of John  begins by introducing key themes that are expanded in the book -  Life ,  Light ,  Witness ,  Truth , and  Grace .  Jesus is the  Light of the world , the source of  Grace and Truth , the  True Tabernacle and Temple where God dwells , and the  only born Son of God  who dwells in the “ bosom of the Father .” The Prologue concludes by declaring that Christ is qualified  to interpret the unseen God  since he alone has seen the Living God.

La plénitude, la grâce et la vérité de Dieu ne se trouvent que dans la Parole faite Chair, à savoir Jésus-Christ de Nazareth - Jean 1:14-18. L'Évangile de Jean  commence par introduire les thèmes clés qui sont développés dans le livre - la Vie, la Lumière, le Témoignage, la Vérité et la Grâce. Jésus est la Lumière du monde, la source de la Grâce et de la Vérité, le Véritable Tabernacle où habite Dieu, et le Fils unique de Dieu qui habite dans le “ sein du Père .” Le Prologue se termine en déclarant que le Christ est qualifié pour interpréter le Dieu invisible puisque lui seul a vu le Dieu Vivant.
