Bible Class: Unwrapping Christmas-Jesus Is Born

Unwrapping Christmas Jesus is Born John 1:11-14 Describe the best Christmas you remember as a child. John 1:12-18  Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—  (13)  children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.  (14)  The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.  (15)  (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, "This is the one I spoke about when I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.'")  (16)  Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.  (17)  For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.  (18)  No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known. FOR WHO? Yet to all who did receive him… Believed in his name… He gave the right… Children of God… Not this or that, but…. THE WORD BECAME FLESH What is the significance of this statement? Why did he become flesh? Why is this significant? Grace and truth… Seeing God… How did this change things? Does it change things for you?
