                              He has made Him known                John 1:14-18

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.

• Jesus came to live among us
• He “moved into the neighborhood”

John the Baptist bore witness about Him

• John the Baptist had a large following
• Apostle John wants to verify his witness

and cried out, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because He was before me.'”

• Normally, the elder would have more respect, but John the Baptist is making clear that Jesus deserves the honor
• Jesus was before John, He was and is eternal

For from fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.

• “grace upon grace” – or “blessing upon blessing” grace from Mosaic law,  and now grace from the new covenant
• Narrative is similar to Exodus
