Scripture makes it clear that Jesus preexisted with the Father.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God He was in the beginning with God. (John 1: 1-2)

The first chapter of John illuminates that true light has come into the world. This revelation becomes increasingly evident during Jesus’ profound conversations with his disciples, leading to their enlightenment.

“I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father.” (John 16:28)

“I have  said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart, I have overcome the world.” ( John 16:33)

“His disciples said, Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not using figurative speech! Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that you came from God.” (John 16: 29-30)

What fantastic news this must have been to the disciples!
