Christmas 2019 - The Word

The Gospel of John presents the Lord Jesus Christ as the eternal Son of God and as “the Word”.  In John ch 1 v1& 2 he said, “in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.  The same was in the beginning with God”.  He uses this title on four occasions each one directing us to a specific location.  In the verse above he directs us to heaven and the pre-incarnate existence of the Son, along with the Father and the Holy Spirit. John ch 1 verse 18 says “no man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared Him.”  And John 4 v 24 “God is a Spirit”

Christmas Eve Traditions - The Daily Diary of a Bible Blogger

Across the world there are different traditions that people practice when celebrating Christmas. Most people feel that no one tradition is right; you and I may agree or disagree.  

However when it comes to our views and beliefs about Jesus Christ biblical orthodoxy is essential. If you do not believe what the scriptures say about the Lord Jesus you cannot be saved and you are worse than that, antichrist and a deceiver. 

As Joshua once said 'choose ye this day whom you will serve', Joshua 24:15.
