The Meaning of God's Arrival

Christmas can shrink into a sweet birth story, but John begins with a far larger claim: God came among us in human flesh. Although a dark world rejected Jesus, the eternal Word and creator, those who receive Him and believe in His name become God's children. His glory appears most clearly at the cross. God crossed the distance sinners could never climb, bearing sin and making His love known through forgiveness, resurrection victory, and a new relationship with Him as Father.
