John 1:1-5
Chapter 1
The Word Became Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Here Jesus is referred to as the way that God communicates Himself to the world, by coming down in the form of a man dwelling amoung us. The active, powerful Word of God, that caused creation to burst into existence, and gave it order and structure, through which it is held together. Came from eternity, before creation, and leads to eternity in the future, so that is why our eternal life is dependant on Him, for He is source of it. So to quote John's first letter and reinforce the conclusion from yesterday's post.

1 John 5:12
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
