Today, we'll look at Jesus as a baby.John calls Jesus “The Word,” an intentional choice for the audience of the day. Jesus of Nazareth wasn't just a good person; He was God in the flesh.He is fully human and fully divine, working with God to restore the relationship with broken people like us. Everything we need is found in Jesus Christ, born in Bethlehem's manger.
This week's Gospel, Luke 4:14-21, holds a very exciting note that we might easily miss! Imagine being in the synagogue when Jesus himself was teaching- what a moment, to be able to hear the words of Isaiah spoken by the Son of God himself! The text tells us that all who were present had their eyes 'fastened on him.' Jesus clearly had a presence. How do you think you might have felt, when he finished reading about the good things God's Spirit would bring to the world? Imagine your surprise as a man you knew as a neighbour and teacher went on to announce that this Word was fulfilled in your hearing! How many questions might this have raised in your mind- isn't this Mary's son? Don't we know him as a simple carpenter? I wonder if we could have understood all that Jesus meant in that moment. We are truly blessed to know all that followed this day- Jesus' travels, teaching, healing, death and resurrection. May we not be taken by surprise at his announcement today, but instead cultivate wonder in our hearts at the tremendous gift of faith we have received. Today's message was written and presented by Pr. Harvard Osland of the Norweigan Lutheran Church Sydney.Support the show
This week Rev. Mandy reflects on John 1:1-18 and the rich truths found there that Jesus is God. Despite Jesus coming into the world he created, many did not recognise him or welcome him. Even today, we too can fail to see Jesus at work in our midst and recognise his presence among us.Rev. Mandy challenges us all this year, to slow down and to be attentive to Jesus's presence in the everyday moments of life. Jesus is right here, in this moment - in the now. It is only when slow down and stop that we are open to recognise and be suprised by what God is going among us.

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. Jesus is with us. (Immanuel Isaiah 7:14, 8:8) (Emmanuel Matthew 1:23) 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. Jesus created a beautiful world. The beauty of Christmas and Christmas decor can reflect His creation and can teach truth. (Nativity, history, Carols) *Don't be a Humbug ;) *Don't go to the other extreme and get caught up in comparison or frustration.

Jim Roberts - John 1:1-18 - Jesus: The Word Incarnate
Don't participate in the things these people do. For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true. Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. (Ephesians 5:7–11 NLT) One of the first things God did in creation was to separate light from darkness (see Genesis 1:4). That separation between light and darkness becomes a recurring theme in Scripture. Spiritually speaking, light represents God and His ways. Darkness represents evil. In his Gospel, the apostle John wrote of Jesus: “The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it” (John 1:4–5 NLT). The lines are drawn. Jesus is the light. Everyone who follows Him does so in the light. The light can penetrate the darkness, but the darkness can never extinguish the light. Not everyone is drawn to the light, of course. Jesus said, “And the judgment is based on this fact: God's light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed” (John 3:19–20 NLT). It's not that people don't believe that Jesus is the Son of God; it's that they don't want to follow Him because it means they must turn from their sin. And they don't want to do that. Christians ask, “Why do people attack us for our faith? Why do they oppose us for what we believe? Why do they want to cancel us, our message, our voice, and our culture?” The answer is that we're bright lights in a dark place. The gravitational pull of darkness is strong. We escaped it when we came to Christ. But it's still there, trying to drag us back in. Darkness takes advantage of our curiosity. It exploits our boredom. It urges us to join the crowd. It appeals to our sense of adventure and our impulse to walk on the wild side. In Ephesians 5, Paul counters darkness's pull with a simple caution: Remember who you are. Remember all that you have in the light. Instead of allowing darkness to pull you in, shine your light on it. Expose it for what it really is. If you find yourself in darkness, move to the light. Ask God to forgive you and set you back on the well-lit path. The Bible says, “The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don't participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don't let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires” (Romans 13:12–14 NLT). — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
