John Calvin
John 1:1–5
Reformed Commentary
In the beginning was the Word. John begins by describing the eternal generation of the Son of God, calling him the Word. This name is given to the Son of God not only because he is the eternal Wisdom and Will of God, but because he is the bond of connection between God and man. The Word was with God — this means that the Son was always distinct from the Father, yet inseparably united with him. All things were made through him — the creation of the world is ascribed to the Word, showing that he is the source of all life and light.
