The Comfort of Christmas, Part 3 -- Grace Upon Grace
On this 4th Sunday of Advent, we look at the remembrances of the last living apostle – John – concerning the birth of Jesus Christ. His interpretation of God's incarnational invasion reminds us that the most comforting thing about Christmas is the knowledge that we have received grace upon grace!

John 1:35-51 The Glory of Christ and Our Mission pt. 2
In an age of multiplying and conflicting informational images, we will become people that have been denuded of coherent stories, and in search of larger ones that can make sense of our existence and provide us with the hope and purpose we crave. The New Atheist consistently eschews the idea that there is a revelation outside of the natural order because it doesn’t fit their materialistic presuppositions, but our passage over these past few weeks have screamed out to us that God, who exists outside of time/space as the necessary cause of it, has revealed Himself in the word.

John 1-19-34 The Glory of Christ and Our Mission pt. 1
John 1:1-18 was a missional song or poem describing the rest of the book’s content, introducing Jesus Christ as the Word, the one that reveals the Father. John departs from the poetic musings of the prologue (John 1:1-18), and moves into a narrative stretch telling the author’s version of the story of Jesus and His public ministry. Starting with the first two days, he reminds us what he was sent to do, and who is it that he was sent to be a witness of.

God is With Us
No one in all of history has impacted this world to the degree that this man, Jesus Christ, did and does. Even our calendar reflects His influence: B.C. is before Christ and A.D. (Anno Domini) means “the year of our Lord.†More songs have been sung to Him, more paintings have been painted of Him, and more books have been written about Him than anyone who has ever lived in the history of the world. So the question remains to be answered: who is this Jesus? This is a question asked by Jesus Himself 2000 years ago, and is still being asked today.

John: The Incarnation and the Mission of God Part 2
John takes us first backwards to remind us of our created purpose (have life by feasting on the glory of God), and then forward to the restoration of this life and light in Christ. We are created to glorify God (Isaiah 43:7). When we view God as a means to an end--instead of the end--we remain in the darkness (rejection of Him) and seek after other means for temporal pleasure.

John: The Incarnation and the Mission of God
John may be the clearest gospel and simplest to understand, yet it remains the most enigmatic and controversial of the four gospels amongst many scholars and skeptics. It is in John where we find clear evidence for the deity of Jesus Christ and that salvation is through Christ by the power of God alone, two concepts that are hard for any westerner to swallow in the 21st century.
