In this episode, we delve into the profound opening verses of the Gospel of John, exploring the theological significance of the Word and its divine presence at the beginning of creation. We discuss how all things were made through the Word, and how life and light emanate from it, offering hope and illumination to humanity. The narrative introduces John the Baptist, a pivotal figure sent to bear witness to the light, emphasizing his role in preparing the way for the true light that enlightens everyone coming into the world.
We reflect on the themes of recognition and acceptance, as the world, despite being made through the Word, failed to recognize it.

We also touch upon the unique revelation of God through His only begotten Son, who declares the Father to humanity, offering a deeper understanding of divine grace and truth.
