John 1:1-18 The Word Became Flesh (December 27, 2020 PM, Rev. Michael Grasso)

In John’s famous prologue that opens his gospel (1:1-18), John opens with a description of Christ going back to eternity.  Christ, as the eternal Son of God, existed in eternity with the Father and became flesh to save those who receive him from sin.  He is not an ordinary person, not merely a good teacher, he is God himself, and therefore there is a requirement to receive him as such for all people.
