The Theology of Christmas
Michael White
John 1:14-18
Good morning church! On behalf of my wife, Rachel and I, as well as the elders of this church, we just want to wish you a merry Christmas! Today is a really special day and I am just so thankful that we are all here to worship together and spend time as a family in Christ.

14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, ''This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.' '') 16 For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; the only God, who ...
