because of Christmas, we can end the year with hope no matter what we goes through
3 things abt Jesus
1. Jesus is eternal
-the universal is nothing... and Jesus was alr there
-if he's not eternal, He cant give us eternal life
2. Jesus is with God.. he is a real person
-God is love.. there must be communication in love...
-before Adam is created, love in God the Father and Jesus
-if Jesus is not a real person, he cant talk to us
3. Jesus is God
Jesus forgives sin, which only God can
Jesus, a new name
2 reasons why John describe Jesus as "the Word"
1. the Word expresses thoughts and can 'enter' into hearts
-once a word is received, it enter straight into the mind and heart
-word can lift up or weigh down a person
2. the Word is the logos of life
-word = logos (logic)
-Jesus is the logic of life
-without Jesus, we work hard to gain fame, wealth which we are not able to bring along with us when we die
-Jesus is the truth, the way and the life
-this is why Jesus come into the world
abide in the Word
-to believe in Jesus is to believe in the Word
-no matter what we go through, as long as we can find a promise in the Word for our situation.. half of the battle has won!
all God want is for us to believe
thoughts, affection, desires, visions and dreams, motives, concerns, morality
-Holy Spirit is the power of the highest
-God is going to cause a miraculous virgin birth
-all Mary have to do is abide in the Word
Mary was stress at what Gabriel is saying
-God only works accordingly to a pattern based on a principle
-God can work in anyway he wants but in His sovereignty has chosen to work only through His word
God work through Word
this is how God works
its not Mary's work but the work of the Holy Spirit
no work from God will ever fail
-simply by faith, Mary believed that its alr done even if she feel nothing
-boldly speaking her faith to the ppl she trusted
-find a promise from the bible, cultivate it
-pray abt it, believe in it and God will bring a miracle
