THE CHRISTMAS STORY

THE CHRISTMAS STORY

PREPARED BY KATHY COLLIER (SUNSHINE 12)

JOHN 1:14 (King James Version)

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.

Here we have the Christmas Story in one

verse. The Word was made flesh. The Word

is the Logos meaning Jesus Christ. The

Hebrews knew the word logos in Old

testament was Dabar-Yahweh meaning The

Word of God. There the word was God's

divine self-expression in creation,

revelation and deliverance. Here we

have The Word made flesh. The Christmas

Story. Jesus Christ, the second person of

the God Head, left His home in Glory to

be born as a baby.

1. The Word was made flesh. He lay aside

His Heavenly robes and was born of a virgin

and dwelt among us.

2. He was conceived by the power of the

Holy Spirit and was born as a baby and

grew into a man. Here we have the work of

the Trinity. God the Father, God the Son,

and God the Holy Spirit.

3. The glory of the only Begotten of the

Father. This means Jesus was begotten of

the Father. There was and will never be

another like Him. He was unique. He is

not a created being, He is the Creator.

He was/is all God and He was/is all man.

4. Full of grace and truth. Grace meaning

unmerited favor with God. There is nothing

you and I can do that would cause God to

love us. He loves us because He chooses to.

Have a blessed day in Jesus' name.
