Consider the meaning of Christmas from John 1:1-14 by watching the video below from last year’s (2021) Candlelight service:
- The Incarnation of Christ (v. 14)
- The Miracle of the Incarnation
- The Humility of the Incarnation
- The Identity of Christ (vv. 1-5, 9-10)
- Christ is the Eternal God
- Christ is the Creator of All Things
- Christ is the Giver of Life
- Christ is the Light of the World
- The Invitation of Christ (vv. 11-13)
- “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.” (1 Peter 3:18)
- Friend, your greatest problem is sin…your greatest hope is a Savior!
- When Christ went to the Cross, He was punished for our sins…and He became our substitute! And now God offers you the ‘gift of spiritual and eternal life’!
- Romans 6:23- “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through the Jesus Christ our Lord.”
- Friend, the greatest gift you will ever receive is not something wrapped under the tree at home…the greatest gift you will ever receive was wrapped up in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger!
- That gift is Christ! It is the ‘gift of God’s amazing grace’ that can save a wretch, that can give spiritual sight to the blind, that can bring the lost into the family of God.
- The Bible says that God is “…not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9).
- John 1:12- “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.”
- Has there ever been a time in your life, when you have received the gift of salvation in Christ?
