Title: The Word Became Flesh
Scripture: John 1:14-18
Speaker: Tom Nelson, TomN@cckc.church

> Jesus Is History’s Greatest Miracle

"The Bible reveals a God who, long before it even occurs to men and women to turn to him, while they are still lost in darkness and sunk in sin, takes the initiative, rises from His throne, lays aside his glory, and stoops to seek until he finds them.”

- John Stott

> Jesus Is Our Greatest Hope

> In Jesus, God Came For Our World.

"The very act of assuming our flesh the Word sanctified and hallowed it, for the assumption of our sinful flesh is itself atoning and sanctifying action. How could it be otherwise when he, the Holy One took on himself our unholy flesh?”

- T.F. Torrence, Incarnation:The Person and Life of Christ

> In Jesus, God came for us.

“The God who created matter took shape within it, as an artist might become a spot on a painting or a playwright a character in his own play. God wrote a story, only using real characters, on the pages of real history. The Word became flesh.”

- Phillip Yancey, The Jesus I Never Knew
