John 1:5-14

God Incarnate

• Pure Spirit became human
• Became human to save humanity (Heb 2:17-18)

Perfect Son

• He tabernacled among us
• Sinless Son among the suffering and sinful

Historical Figure

• Before Christianity is personal, it is historical
• Allows us to anticipate how God will move based on how He has moved

Crucified and Risen

• Glory of Jesus was His crucifixion and resurrection (John 12:16, John 12:23)
• Only one who can carry this mission redemptively

Full of Grace and Truth

• Not one or the other - both
• You can discern which way you lean by listening to the part you feel the need to emphasize

John 1:15

Worthy

• Based on his personhood, not my opinion
• I will willingly surrender or finally submit

John 1:16-17

Giver of Grace

• Will I ever not need it? NEVER
• Why don't I just keep sinning? (Titus 2:11-14)

John 1:18

Revealer

• The God of the Universe wants to be known
• His greatest delight is in relationship with us (John 17:3)
