Before the Manger, Majesty

John doesn't start his gospel with a stable, he starts before time began. Pastor Charlie unpacks John 1's dense opening lines, tracing Jesus from eternal Word to newborn baby, showing that the incarnation was never a backup plan but the eternal intention of a God who always wanted to be close. This message leans hard into the image of light that cannot be overcome, and the uncomfortable, good news that Jesus doesn't just visit our lives, he moves in, furniture rearranging and all.
