Sermons and Other Spiritual Musings from Great Commission Anglican Church

The Incredible Event of God Becoming Man

When we think about the birth of Jesus, it’s easy to picture it as the beginning of His story. But the Apostle John reminds us of a powerful truth: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1) Jesus didn’t begin in Bethlehem—He has always existed as God. Before time, before creation, He was there. His birth wasn’t His start; it was His entry into the world He created.
