On Christmas Eve, we asked a question: Do you hear what I hear? We listened for the sounds of good news, hope, and love. On Christmas Day, the question shifts: Do you see what I see?

In this sermon on John 1:1–14, we explore how the Word who spoke creation into being did not remain distant or abstract, but became flesh and moved into our neighborhood. Christmas is not only something we hear sung or proclaimed. It is something we are invited to behold.

This message reflects on how God’s glory is revealed not in power or spectacle, but in grace and truth. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not have the final word. For anyone who comes to Christmas weary, grieving, or unsure, this sermon proclaims the good news that God comes close, knowing the risk, and still choosing love.

Christmas Day is not about striving or having it all figured out. It is about receiving. Grace upon grace. God with us.
