Empty the Jar at Christmas
The Journey He Made
John 1:1-5, John 1:9-14, Philippians 2:5-11
Today, I want to focus on the journey that Jesus made because that’s what Christmas is all about.
John begins by presenting three truths to show that the Word is God in John 1:1. In the beginning was the Word–the Word existed eternally.
John is proclaiming this to be true for the Word–from the beginning of time, light has always overcome darkness.
Even worse though–His own people, the Jews, not only didn’t receive Him, they even rejected Him.
He came to this earth, lived without sin, taught people how to live for God, healed the sick and raised the dead, then gave up His own life out of love for humanity.
We’re told that Jesus was obedient to the will of God–even to the point of death on a cross.
Jesus is the light that shines on all, the creator of all, the man who died and raised for all. He made this journey out of love for all.
