Scripture: John 1:1-18

Rhome van Dyke explores the Christmas story from John’s unique “top-down” perspective, showing that Jesus, the Word, existed from the very beginning, created all things, and brings light and life to the world. By connecting John 1 with Old Testament prophecies and passages, he emphasizes that Christ’s coming fulfills God’s purposes and illuminates the darkness for all who believe.
