The Apostle John, the disciple whom Jesus loved he was very sincerely attached to our Lord. His passion and love toward our Lord Jesus gained him favour and he outlived all the other disciples John 21:22. Apostle John knew our Lord very well as the youngest of the Apostles he had great revelation of the Master.

On this passage on John 1:1 he reveals to us what the Word is – we find that the Word was God. Notice the use of past tense “was” to indicate the past as now the Word is Living within us. Jesus our Lord is no longer physically with us here on earth but He left us His Word. Jesus could only be present at one place at one time and could only influence His inner circle back then. So it was beneficial for us that He goes back so He could send us our Helper and fulfill the prophecy of Jeremiah 31:33.
