The document discusses how Jesus Christ, known as the Word or Logos, is God and has existed eternally with God the Father. It describes how Christ created all things and gives life. Although Christ created the world, he was not recognized when he came to earth as a human. Some key passages discussed include how Christ humbled himself and took human form, and how he came to save humanity from sin.

2. In the beginning the Word
already existed. The Word was
with God, and the Word was
God. 2He existed in the
beginning with God.

3. 3God created everything
through him, and nothing was
created except through him.

4. 4The Word gave life to
everything that was created,
and his life brought light to
everyone. 5The light shines in
the darkness, and the darkness
can never extinguish it.

5. Jesus is the Logos
Self-Existent One
Eternallyexisted

6. The Word was with God

7. Hebrews 1:1-3 - Long ago God
spoke many times and in many
ways to our ancestors through
the prophets. 2And now in
these final days, he has spoken
to us through his Son.

8. God promised everything to the
Son as an inheritance, and
through the Son he created the
universe. 3The Son radiates
God’s own glory and expresses
the very character of God, and
he sustains everything by the
mighty power of his command.

9. When he had cleansed us from
our sins, he sat down in the
place of honor at the right hand
of the majestic God in heaven.
NLT

10. The Word was God

11. Philippians 2:6-8 - Though he
was God, he did not think of
equality with God as something
to cling to. 7Instead, he gave up
his divine privileges; he took
the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human
being.

12. When he appeared in human
form, 8he humbled himself in
obedience to God and died a
criminal’s death on a cross. NLT

13. Colossians 1:15 - Christ is the
visible image of the invisible
God. He existed before anything
was created and is supreme
over all creation, NLT

14. Isaiah 46:4 - I will be your God
throughout your lifetime—until
your hair is white with age. I
made you, and I will care for
you. I will carry you along and
save you. NLT

15. The Kingdom of Light had
now invaded the kingdom
of darkness

16. Acts 17:28 – For in him we live
and move and exist. NLT

17. 6God sent a man, John the
Baptist, 7to tell about the light
so that everyone might
believe because of his
testimony. 8John himself was
not the light; he was simply a
witness to tell about the light.

18. 9The one who is the true light,
who gives light to everyone,
was coming into the world.
10He came into the very world
he created, but the world didn’t
recognize him. 11He came to
his own people, and even they
rejected him.

19. John baptized

for repentance
Jesus baptized
with the Holy Spirit
for eternal life

20. Christmas is a
natural opportunity
to talk about the
Christ in
Christmas

21. John 3:29-30 - …Therefore, I
am filled with joy at his
success. 30He must become
greater and greater, and I must
become less and less. NLT

22. Acts 1:8 – But you will receive
power when the Holy Spirit
comes upon you. And you will
be my witnesses, telling people
about me everywhere—in
Jerusalem, throughout Judea,
in Samaria, and to the ends of
the earth.” NLT

23. The world didn’t
recognize him

24. 2 Corinthians 4:4 - Satan, who
is the god of this world, has
blinded the minds of those
who don’t believe.

25. They are unable to see the
glorious light of the Good
News. They don’t understand
this message about the glory
of Christ, who is the exact
likeness of God. NLT

26. The greater your closeness to
Jesus the greater you will
naturally reflect Him to those
around you.

27. His own people
rejected him.

28. Philippians 2:9-11 - Therefore,
God elevated him to the place
of highest honor and gave him
the name above all other
names,

29. 10that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow, in
heaven and on earth and
under the earth, 11and every
tongue confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of
God the Father. NLT

30. 12But to all who believed him
and accepted him, he gave the
right to become children of
God. 13They are reborn—not
with a physical birth resulting
from human passion or plan,
but a birth that comes from
God.

31. A person only becomes a
child of God if
God
regenerates
them

32. 14So the Word became human
and made his home among us.
He was full of unfailing love
and faithfulness. And we have
seen his glory, the glory of the
Father’s one and only Son. NLT

me to do. 5Now, Father, bring
me into the glory we shared
before the world began. NLT
