What Child Is This? (Part 5): Mary, Did You Know?

Hello and happy new year to everyone! I pray you have had a great time celebrating Christmas and bringing in the new year.

To do this let’s look at the Old Testament in the book of Isaiah !

Hello everyone! Welcome back to our Christmas series What Child Is This?  where we take a look at the Child who was born over two thousand years ago with the purpose of redeeming humanity through his life and death on the cross. Today we will look at John 1 and learn about the great miracle of the Incarnation . Let's read the passage for today and outline four points from our text. In the Beginning, the Word John 1:1-18 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the Light, so that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the Light, but he came to bear witness a...
