On Christmas Day, Deacon Mike reflects on the opening words of John’s Gospel, where Jesus is introduced not first as a baby in a manger, but as “the Word”—eternal, divine, and present from the very beginning 📖✨.

While the world often uses “the word” as casual conversation or passing information, John reveals something far deeper: the Word was with God, the Word was God, and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us 🎄✝️. Jesus is the Creator, the Light in the darkness, and the One through whom all things were made.

This message traces God’s plan from creation through human failure and brokenness, showing why we could never save ourselves—and why God lovingly sent His Son to be the perfect sacrifice ✝️🌅. Because of Christ’s birth, death, and resurrection, sin, death, and the devil have been defeated forever.

As we celebrate Christmas, we’re reminded that this gift cannot remain a secret. We are called to be open doors for Christ’s love—sharing His light with a hurting world through every act of love ❤️🕯️.
