This Christmas season, we will focus on the profound but often neglected account of the coming of Jesus found in John 1:1-18. Christmas celebrates the eternal God's sovereign entry into history, reminding us that the manger holds the Creator who brings light to a dark world, calling sinners to repent and believe. 

Last Sunday, we looked at John 1:1-5, as John lays out his great statement regarding Jesus, the Word of God made visible. Jesus is the source of all, the sustainer of all, sovereignly revealing all.

This Sunday, we will continue with John 1:6-8. In verse 6, we learn of another man worthy of mention in the prologue of John’s Gospel, but not because of his intrinsic worth, value, or abilities, but because of his purpose and privileged role. For this man “was a man sent from God, whose name was John.” 

John was a God sent man. The fact that John had a purpose and role in the arrival of the Word and Light of God coming into darkness is amazing. Join us as we consider how our callings relate to John's.
