The prologue of John introduces us to the eternal plan of God in which Christ has the central position. The Eternal Word, the silence of the Father coming to full expression, has entered the world and manifested as a human being. Because of his infinite power, the Eternal Word has taken the entire human family into his divine relationship with the Father. We who are incomplete, confused and riddled with the consequences of original sin constitute the human family that the Son of God took upon himself.
