A Good Word
Rev. Josh Godwin, preaching
Jeremiah 31: 10-14
Ephesians 1: 3-10
John 1: 1-5; 14-18
John's Gospel begins with a beautifully poetic prologue about "the Word," telling us the Word's identity as God and the Word's coming to dwell among us. This dwelling is the incarnation of God in Christ. The incarnation is a terribly complex part of our faith; yet it is also comforting, especially in a new year following the one we just finished.
