The Premortal and Mortal Savior

John 1:1-14 and John 17:1-5


Five truths from the Saviors premortal life found in John chapter 1 are

1. In John 1:3 it says "All things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made." This means to me that there is absolutely nothing in this world that didn't come from God.
2. In John 1:4 it says "In him was life; and the life was the light of men." To me this means that light comes from our Savior. The light of Christ is in men and I believe that we all have the light of Christ in each of us.
3. John 1:5 says "And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." 
4. John 1:9-10 says "9....the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not." At the beginning of verse 9 light is capitalized because it is referring to Jesus Christ. The footnotes in my LDS standard works (which contains The King James version of the Holy Bible, The Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants and The Pearl of Great Price. It also contains a Topical Guide and a Bible Dictionary) refers you to the topical guide to look up intelligence, Jesus Christ, Light of the world, and light of Christ. 
5. John 1:13-14 talks about how Christ did not come into this world from flesh or from man but from God. 

Five Truths from Jesus Christ's Mortal life - John 17:1-5

1. In John 17:1 it talks about how the Savior is praying to Heavenly Father and says "Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son. that thy Son also may glorify thee." This shows that Christ spent his time on earth not glorifying himself but to glorify our Father in Heaven.
2. In verse 2 we learn that the Savior wants to and will give eternal life to "as many as thou hast given him"
3. Verse 3 talks about how we may know our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ as the only true God and that Heavenly Father sent his Son Jesus Christ to atone for our sins.
4. in verse 4 Christ has finished the work that He was sent to earth to do.
5. in verse 5 Christ asks Heavenly Father to glorify Him with the same glory as Christ had "before the world was."
