S10E29: Into the Light (Christmas 2022)

Sermon #530

On Christmas Eve we sang Silent Night in a sanctuary lit with candles.  On Christmas morning we were bathed in the light of day.  What better way to celebrate the birth of our Savior than with the opening strains of John's gospel, which present a thorough Christology for us.  Jesus is described as the Word, who was with God and was God.  He is the life, and the light of men - the true light that darkness cannot overcome.  When we repent and trust in Jesus we come out of the darkness, hiding our sin in shame, and step into the light where we can give glory to God by our good works.  This Christmas we celebrate the Lord's day with praise and worship to our God and king, receiving the greatest gift ever given - salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

John 1:1-14
