There is no doubt that true godliness comes from this great mystery. Jesus came as a human being. The Holy Spirit proved that he was the Son of God. He was seen by angels. He was preached among the nations. People in the world believed in him. He was taken up to heaven in glory.

But then the chosen time came. God sent his Son. A woman gave birth to him. He was born under the authority of the law.

In the beginning, the Word was already there. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Then the glory of the Lord will appear. And everyone will see it together. The Lord has spoken.”

The Son is the shining brightness of God’s glory. He is the exact likeness of God’s being. He uses his powerful word to hold all things together. He provided the way for people to be made pure from sin. Then he sat down at the right hand of the King, the Majesty in heaven.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Everyone who eats some of this bread will live forever. This bread is my body. I will give it for the life of the world.”

In his very nature he was God. Jesus was equal with God. But Jesus didn’t take advantage of that fact.Instead, he made himself nothing. He did this by taking on the nature of a servant. He was made just like human beings.He appeared as a man. He was humble and obeyed God completely. He did this even though it led to his death. Even worse, he died on a cross!

I will announce what the Lord has promised. He said to me,“ You are my son. Today I have become your father.

God was pleased to have his whole nature living in Christ.

The Lord himself will give you a sign. The virgin is going to have a baby. She will give birth to a son. And he will be called Immanuel.

The first man came from the dust of the earth. The second man came from heaven.

The written law was made weak by the power of sin. But God did what the written law could not do. He made his Son to be like those who live under the power of sin. God sent him to be an offering for sin. Jesus suffered God’s judgment against our sin.

God is full of grace. From him we have all received grace in place of the grace already given.In the past, God gave us grace through the law of Moses. Now, grace and truth come to us through Jesus Christ.No one has ever seen God. But the One and Only is God and is at the Father’s side. The one at the Father’s side has shown us what God is like.

Here is how you can recognize the Spirit of God. Every spirit agreeing that Jesus Christ came in a human body belongs to God.But every spirit that doesn’t agree with this does not belong to God. You have heard that the spirit of the great enemy of Christ is coming. Even now it is already in the world.

Christ is the living Stone. People did not accept him, but God chose him. God places the highest value on him.You also are like living stones. As you come to Christ, you are being built into a house for worship. There you will be holy priests. You will offer spiritual sacrifices. God will accept them because of what Jesus Christ has done.In Scripture it says,“ Look! I am placing a stone in Zion. It is a chosen and very valuable stone. It is the most important stone in the building. The one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”( Isaiah 28:16)This stone is very valuable to you who believe. But to people who do not believe,“ The stone the builders did not accept has become the most important stone of all.”( Psalm 118:22)

His servant grew up like a tender young plant. He grew like a root coming up out of dry ground. He didn’t have any beauty or majesty that made us notice him. There wasn’t anything special about the way he looked that drew us to him.

So when Christ came into the world, he said,“ You didn’t want sacrifices and offerings. Instead, you prepared a body for me.

God’s whole nature is living in Christ in human form.

Our Lord poured out more and more of his grace on me. Along with it came faith and love from Christ Jesus.Here is a saying that you can trust. It should be accepted completely. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. And I am the worst sinner of all.But for that very reason, God showed me mercy. And I am the worst of sinners. He showed me mercy so that Christ Jesus could show that he is very patient. I was an example for those who would come to believe in him. Then they would receive eternal life.

God never said to any of the angels,“ You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.”( Psalm 2:7) Or,“ I will be his Father. And he will be my Son.”( 2 Samuel 7:14; 1 Chronicles 17:13)

It was the same for Christ. He did not take for himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him,“ You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.”( Psalm 2:7)

I heard a loud voice from the throne. It said,“ Look! God now makes his home with the people. He will live with them. They will be his people. And God himself will be with them and be their God.

Then Jesus said,“ Didn’t I tell you that if you believe, you will see God’s glory?”

Peter and his companions had been very sleepy. But then they became completely awake. They saw Jesus’ glory and the two men standing with him.

The good news is about God’s Son. He was born into the family line of King David.By the Holy Spirit, he was appointed to be the mighty Son of God. God did this by raising him from the dead. He is Jesus Christ our Lord.

You will become pregnant and give birth to a son. You must call him Jesus.He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High God. The Lord God will make him a king like his father David of long ago.The Son of the Most High God will rule forever over his people. They are from the family line of Jacob. That kingdom will never end.”“ How can this happen?” Mary asked the angel.“ I am a virgin.”The angel answered,“ The Holy Spirit will come to you. The power of the Most High God will cover you. So the holy one that is born will be called the Son of God.

Jesus answered,“ I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you. He is the Messiah, the Lord.

What Jesus did here in Cana in Galilee was the first of his signs. Jesus showed his glory by doing this sign. And his disciples believed in him.

I have given them the glory you gave me. I did this so they would be one, just as we are one.

Jesus answered,“ Don’t you know me, Philip? I have been among you such a long time! Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. So how can you say,‘ Show us the Father’?

We told you about the time our Lord Jesus Christ came with power. But we didn’t make up clever stories when we told you about it. With our own eyes we saw him in all his majesty.God the Father gave him honor and glory. The voice of the Majestic Glory came to him. It said,“ This is my Son, and I love him. I am very pleased with him.”( Matthew 17:5; Mark 9:7; Luke 9:35)

“ People of Jerusalem, get up. Shine, because your light has come. The glory of the Lord will shine on you.Darkness covers the earth. Thick darkness spreads over the nations. But I will rise and shine on you. My glory will appear over you.

God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life.

After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John the brother of James with him. He led them up a high mountain. They were all alone.There in front of them his appearance was changed. His face shone like the sun. His clothes became as white as the light.Just then Moses and Elijah appeared in front of them. Moses and Elijah were talking with Jesus.Peter said to Jesus,“ Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters. One will be for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them. A voice from the cloud said,“ This is my Son, and I love him. I am very pleased with him. Listen to him!”

“ The Lord has blinded their eyes. He has closed their minds. So they can’t see with their eyes. They can’t understand with their minds. They can’t turn to the Lord. If they could, he would heal them.”( Isaiah 6:10)Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about him.

Anyone who believes in him is not judged. But anyone who does not believe is judged already. They have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

But he said to me,“ My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” So I am very happy to brag about how weak I am. Then Christ’s power can rest on me.

Those children have bodies made out of flesh and blood. So Jesus became human like them in order to die for them. By doing this, he could break the power of the devil. The devil is the one who rules over the kingdom of death.Jesus could set people free who were afraid of death. All their lives they were held as slaves by that fear.It is certainly Abraham’s children that he helps. He doesn’t help angels.So he had to be made like people, fully human in every way. Then he could serve God as a kind and faithful high priest. And then he could pay for the sins of the people by dying for them.

You are the most excellent of men. Your lips have been given the ability to speak gracious words. God has blessed you forever.

She gave birth to her first baby. It was a boy. She wrapped him in large strips of cloth. Then she placed him in a manger. That’s because there was no guest room where they could stay.

May you have power together with all the Lord’s holy people to understand Christ’s love. May you know how wide and long and high and deep it is.And may you know his love, even though it can’t be known completely. Then you will be filled with everything God has for you.

The god of this world has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They can’t see the light of the good news that makes Christ’s glory clear. Christ is the likeness of God.The message we preach is not about ourselves. Our message is about Jesus Christ. We say that he is Lord. And we say that we serve you because of Jesus.God said,“ Let light shine out of darkness.”( Genesis 1:3) He made his light shine in our hearts. His light gives us the light to know God’s glory. His glory is shown in the face of Christ.

And Jesus, who makes people holy, and the people he makes holy belong to the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters.

But as Joseph was thinking about this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. The angel said,“ Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary home as your wife. The baby inside her is from the Holy Spirit.She is going to have a son. You must give him the name Jesus. That’s because he will save his people from their sins.”All this took place to bring about what the Lord had said would happen. He had said through the prophet,“ The virgin is going to have a baby. She will give birth to a son. And he will be called Immanuel.”( Isaiah 7:14) The name Immanuel means“ God with us.”

The founders of our nation belong to them. The Messiah comes from their family line. He is God over all. May he always be praised! Amen.

I am by far the least important of all the Lord’s holy people. But he gave me the grace to preach to the Gentiles about the unlimited riches that Christ gives.

All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in him.

Jacob was the father of Joseph. Joseph was the husband of Mary. And Mary was the mother of Jesus, who is called the Messiah.

he has done for us, their children. He has raised up Jesus. This is what is written in the second Psalm. It says,“‘ You are my son. Today I have become your father.’( Psalm 2:7)
