Commentary on John 1:30
John's declaration that Christ 'was before me' despite being born after John reveals Christ's pre-existence, a cornerstone of Johannine Christology. The phrase 'preferred before me' (Greek: protos, meaning 'first' in rank) acknowledges Christ's ontological superiority. This testifies to the Reformed doctrine of Christ's eternal deity and His economic subordination in the incarnation for our redemption.
