Introduction

John chapter 1 is probably the best place in all the Bible to understand the theology or the doctrine of Christmas. In those first couple hundred years after Jesus lived on earth, died, and rose again it was incredibly dangerous to be a Christian. Christians were being massacred throughout the Roman Empire just because of their faith. And now as we spend some time today and in the coming Sundays, exploring the riches of these verses, we pray for the power of your spirit to illumine our understanding,. To open our hearts and to transform us. Amen.
