John1: 1-5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
This is one of my favorite passages of the New Testament. It pretty much sums everything up in a couple of verses. Think of just how much the Holy Spirit was moving through this inspired author less than 200 years after Jesus Christ died! Equating Jesus - who they knew as a man - with God the Creator of Life! Stunning.
My kids are 11 and 13 so some of our Advent Calendar is pitched to a slightly younger audience. Here is the message they are receiving today:
It's a cute presentation, but are you getting the message? He's coming soon!
The baby - the man - the Creator of the Universe.
Will we be ready?
