 Pastor Fred took this week of Advent and preached from John 1, and I think it’s the first time I've heard this passage preached as part of the Christmas story. It probably isn’t told as a Christmas story because it doesn’t include animals, angels, shepherds, or Mary and Joseph. I realized this passage is like the rug that ties the room together. It wraps up the birth narrative by stating that Jesus wasn’t some plan B or that He randomly showed up one day in Bethlehem as a baby. Jesus is not only the Son of God but also eternal and the second member of the Trinity, who participated in the creation of the world. Here are some thoughts that I took away from this weekend.
