We can lose a sense of wonder as we begin “adulting.” We fail to notice the beauty and wonder of God. Maybe we still hold orthodox beliefs, but their power in our lives is diminished by boredom, cynicism, or simply ignoring how God has surrounded us with awe-inspiring testimony to his goodness and beauty.

In a masterful intro to the gospel that bears his name, John weaves the story of Creation and God taking on flesh in the Person of Jesus Christ into a breathtaking display of our Creator’s goodness, mystery, and beauty. It’s meant to offer us a fresh sense of awe at who God is.
