A FULL CHRISTMAS

JOHN 1:1-6, 9-14, 16-17

Part 1

The Gospels of Matthew and Luke give us portraits of the “Christmas Story,” describing some of the events surrounding the birth of Jesus. John begins his Gospel with a beautiful, glorious, and deeply theological description of Jesus—The Word.

John tells us:

  • Jesus has always been. (Vs.1)
  • Jesus is God and God with us. (Vs.1,2)
  • Jesus is Creator. (Vs. 3,10)
  • Jesus came to us. (Vs. 10,11 14)
  • Jesus is light and life. (Vs. 4,5,9)
  • Jesus knows misunderstanding. (Vs. 5)
  • Jesus knows rejection. (Vs. 10,11)
  • Jesus is Savior. (Vs. 12)
  • Jesus is full of grace and truth. (Vs. 14,16,17)

How can we exemplify Christ and have a FULL Christmas?

1.) Be Present.

    1. Jesus is with us. (Immanuel Isaiah 7:14, 8:8) (Emmanuel Matthew 1:23)
    2. It is GRACE for us to be more interested and invested in ENJOYING the family and festivities, rather than DOING or MAKING the festivities. (This is a hard balance…convicting for servant minded Mama’s.)

2.) Embrace Creativity.

    1. Jesus created a beautiful world.
    2. The beauty of Christmas and Christmas decor can reflect His creation and can teach truth. (Nativity, history, Carols)
      1. *Don’t be a Humbug ;)
      2. *Don’t go to the other extreme and get caught up in comparison or frustration.
