Sermon for Christmas Day + 2020
Christmas Day December 25th, 2020 John 1:1-14 We live in darkness. Our current lots appear as the darkest period of time in our lives. But, the greatest darkness of our history began infecting humanity from the first man. The darkness of this world is specific, it is a darkness made known through sin and death. It wasn’t always this way. In the beginning, God created. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” (John 1:1-2) All that was created was and is good. Creation was brought into existence through this Word. It was through the Word, life is given. It was through the Word, you were created. You are God’s, you belong to Him. The darkness is a reality of a broken world. A world led away from the light of the Word made flesh. A world led into temptation and sin through the lies and murdering of the ancient serpent, in whom the truth does not abide. (John 8:4
