The Word With Us! (John 1:1-14)

Part of the Morning Worship at North Greenville Church series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
Jesus is God. Our fall was based on a lie, and the fallen world did not know him. He came so that we can know God. We can embrace him. We can see him. He can bestow wisdom on us. He can give us blessings, both present and eternal. He can show us the glory of God. He can give us grace and truth. Through grace he gives us faith. This is the message of Christmas.

John 1:1–14 (Listen)
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
