The holiday season provides a unique opportunity to talk about the hope we have in Christ. There a spirit of gratitude that surrounds both Thanksgiving and Christmas that leads many, religious and non-religious, to stop and think about the many blessings of life. As a church, we want to equip one another to seize this opportunity to point others to Christ.
God With Us (John 1:14-18)
In this passage, John tells us that the glorious Christ he has written about in previous verses has arrived. Jesus is God in the flesh; God revealed to us. Every human heart experiences a longing for the fullness of joy and satisfaction. John tells us that from the fullness of Jesus we have all received grace upon grace. John wants us to not only recognize who Jesus is but also to receive the fullness of grace that he has to offer us.
