Leaping over the Word “Was”
Preacher: Pastor Chris Alford
One of the most breathtaking passages in all of the Gospels was our focus for this final Sunday of Christmas: The first chapter of John. “In the beginning, ” John writes, “was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.” What can we learn about Jesus– about the persons of the Trinity– from John? And, to paraphrase one of the Church Fathers, “…how can the mind leap over the word ‘was’?” Take a look at the Scripture for the day and join us.
