John1 vs.1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John1 vs.14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
His virgin birth is a miracle displaying the power of God.
John 1 vs.1 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
His life was terminated at the cross amidst great hostility.
1/ The Cradle, 2/ The Cross. 3/ The Crown.
1 The Cradle. Contrary to many "Nativity Scenes" it would have been dirty, noisy and draughty. He was born in Bethlehem as prophesied in the Old Testament. As many things about His birth were. Born of a virgin, travelled to Egypt, of the line of David.
2/ The Cross. The Jews hated Him, they were just interested in outward show and formality. God works from the inside out, He begins with our heart.
When He claimed to be the Son of God they said it was blasphemy ans sentenced Him to death.
They nailed Him to the cross, He took the penalty for our guilt.
Matthew 27 vs.46 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Jesus saves - Jehovah.
He reconciled the world to Himself, Emmanuel God with us.
We are eternally forgiven through repentance and faith in Him.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
3/ The Crown. Believers shall be taken up to be with Him for all Eternity. He is coming again in glory and every eye shall see Him, and every knee shall bow to Him. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
