The Greatest Gift
Who is the Word?
the Person and subject in John 1:1-5
Word = Logos is a person
In relation to God - He existed eternally, He was with God, He is God,
In relation to the World - He is the creator and sustainer, He is the source of life.
What happened to the Word?
1.
He became flesh
to become flesh is to be like man, to have a physical body.
became - it implies that the Word did not have a flesh in the past.
Jesus as the 2nd person person of the Trinity has Spiritual nature.
This means that the 2nd person of the Trinity, added another nature.
Spiritual and Human Nature.
The human nature that Adam and Eve originally had - not the fallen human nature.
2. Dwelt among us, We saw his glory
Dwelt - pitched his tent, encamped.
in the OT, God dwells in the Temple and not all people has access to God.
in the NT, God chose to be with his people in a more personal way.
many saw and witness the existence of Jesus - God in the flesh.
John was among them.
many denied the existence of Jesus - John made it clear that Jesus existed.
Why did the Word became flesh?
Why is there a need for Jesus to add human nature?
Blood is required for forgiveness.
Fulfillment of Prophecy: A Promised Ruler
Isaiah 7:14
Prophecy Fulfilled: Suffering Savior
John the baptist is older than Jesus by 6 months - but he said, “He existed before me”.
because that is true - Jesus as the 2nd person of the Trinity existed before the foundation of the world (John 1:1)
fullness - Jesus is both God and Man
Jesus came to display the grace and truth of God, which the law cannot accomplished.
the Law reminds us of our inability to obey everything that is in it.
the law points us to someone who can obey everything that is in the Law.
Jesus is the truth
Those who believe in the Son (truth), will be set free
Jesus is full of grace -
- justification is a gift by the grace of Christ Jesus.
- Grace for Paul and for those who will believe in Jesus
Rev. 22:21 - The last statement of the Book of Revelation contains a prayer and at the same time a promise - the grace of the Lord Jesus Chrsit be with us all.
Amen (true, indeed).
Conclusion:
Jesus came to earth because man cannot go to heaven on his own.
Jesus has to live the perfect life in obedience to the law, because we could not.
Jesus has to shed his blood so that we will be forgiven.
It is only by the grace of God that we can be saved.
Proper Response:
Put your trust and dependence on Jesus Christ.
He is gracious to forgive your sins.
Celebrate Christmas with the love of Christ in your heart.
Show grace and mercy, like Christ.
Do not keep Christ away from His celebration.
