Digging Deeper John 1:1-7 Points to Ponder

The Victory Tree: an opportunity to support the men in the Colony of Mercy. This year we have made available sponsorships for the men in the Colony. It costs the ministry of America’s Keswick $65 a day per man. If you would like to sponsor one (or more) man for a gift of $65, we will send you a Keswick collectible tree ornament as our thank you. The ornament has a tag with information about one of the men in the Colony. We ask that you pray for that man for the next 30 days. The funds go to the Colony of Mercy fund. This is a great way to partner with us to make the men’s Christmas special. To sponsor a man, please contact Guest Services at 732.350.1187 ext. 10 or visit our website www.americaskeswick.org go to the Support drop down menu and click on “Give Now” – in the Designation box – indicate “Victory Tree” and we will mail your ornament to you. Thank you for your partnership both financially and in prayer. Merry Christmas, Diane


In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.


Points to Ponder
Jesus existed before He was begotten. His pre-incarnate state was eternally with the Father and Spirit. He didn't just come on the scene at Christmas. He was there before. Before His Christmas birth. He was there before Moses crossed the Red Sea with a bunch of scared Israelites. He was there before Adam and Eve fell into sin. He was there before ... "In the beginning." He has enjoyed eternal perfect fellowship with the Father and Spirit. Yet He came to earth that we might enjoy perfect eternal fellowship with Him.

Relish that thought.
