Light of the World. John 1:1-5
Matthew opens his gospel by telling us how Jesus came into the world. He is keen to emphasise Jesus’ genealogy and some say tells the nativity story through the eyes of Joseph.
Luke tells the nativity based on eye witness accounts. Some even suggest he interviewed Mary, and it’s through her eyes the birth of Jesus is told.
But then turn to John’s gospel, there is no nativity. His gospel opens with the bold statement “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God” and perhaps we could say the gospel of John tells us about the origin of Jesus from the Heavenly Father’s perspective. It’s these first five verses of John’s gospel which are the focus of my message this Sunday. They have been described as the “deepest and most profound” part of the New Testament. I know that as I share from these verses you will be encouraged, be blessed, and have a greater revelation of God’s love for you.
The evening service will be available on YouTube Monday morning. I know that whether you join us in person or online you are going to be blessed.
