This lesson is presented in the context of Christmas, in the joy of celebrating Jesus’ birth.
God sent John the Baptist as a witness of Jesus - the true Light. Jesus came into the world He made, and yet, not all received Him. But those that did were blessed to become children of God, only by the grace of God. And so, the eternal Word became flesh and showed us God - that we might know God: of His glory and His grace and His truth.
