The Joy of Salvation (John 1:14-18)

The eternal God became flesh to save sinful man—this is the glorious truth at the heart of Christmas. In this exposition of John 1:14-18, Pastor Ben Smith unpacks how the incarnation of Christ reveals God's glory, demonstrates His grace, and provides salvation for undeserving sinners. Through careful biblical teaching and a moving personal testimony about loss and hope during the Christmas season, this message challenges listeners to see the birth of Jesus for what it truly is: the eternal God coming in the flesh to reconcile sinners to Himself. Discover afresh why the Word becoming flesh is the foundation of Christian joy and the answer to death's sting.
