We begin the new year by reading the first four chapters of John devotionally. John's Gospel tells us about two connected beginnings: the beginning of everything (creation) and then the coming of Jesus (the Bringer of Light). We are challenged to see him through the Bible's steady revelation - in Exodus, 1 Samuel, Isaiah, Acts and Romans - and encouraged to make our own lives signposts to the glory of Christ and the new beginning he offers us.
