Witness to Wonder: John’s Advent Vision

Christmas didn’t begin in the obscurity of a manger in Bethlehem, but in the mystery of cosmic origins. Our Advent messages this year will give special attention to the perspective of the Apostle John, who had a front-row seat to the life and teaching of Jesus. From John’s teachings we learn that Advent stretches from eternity past to eternity future. And as those who live in between the two Advents of Christ, John shows us how we can discover uncommon hope and fullness of joy in all of life.

1 John 1:1-4
Though one might not think of this as a Christmas passage, it captures the essence of Christmas, and Christianity for that matter. It’s particularly suited to those who struggle with belief, loneliness, and happiness.

Revelation 1:1-8
Our lives are lived in between the two advents of Christ–his coming in humility in a manger and his future coming in great glory. What difference can this make in our lives? How might it help us face suffering, find purpose, and experience freedom regardless of our circumstances?

John 1:4-13
Advent cannot be understand; it can only be experienced. Like flipping on a light in a pitch-dark room, Christian hope is an awakening to the life that can be found only in Jesus Christ.

John 1:1-3, 14
While we may tend to think of Advent as beginning in a manger in Bethlehem, the Apostle John reveals that it began much earlier–in the mystery of cosmic origins.
