Jesus is the Way 

 Jesus answered, “I am the way. And I am the truth and the life. The only way to the Father is through me.” John 14:6 

 There was a very special star on the first Christmas. Scholars from faraway countries noticed the special star. The star told them someone special had been born. The star showed the way for the Wise Men to find Jesus. They found the King who had been born and worshiped him.

Jesus gives you many things to show you the way to live. He gives you parents and other adults to teach you right from wrong. The Bible tells you things God wants you to know about God and the way to live. Jesus showed you to live loving people with God’s love. Creation shows you how awesome God is. Stars are part of God’s creation. Even today they tell people about Jesus, the creator. 

Can you tell people Jesus is the Way?

(Note: We're taking a break from the "Belonging to Him" series for the holiday season and will pick back up with Part 2 on January 17th. This week, you’ll be hearing the final sermon John shared from a 4-part Christmas series while pastoring a church in the country of Honduras.) One of the best ways to describe the birth of Christ is with the phrase, "But...God." It goes like this: the world was sinking deep in sin, but God entered into our world, became one of us, and joined us in our weakness and suffering so we could join him in eternal strength and joy. The light shines in the darkness and, because of the coming of Christ, the darkness will never overcome.

On this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable the guys will discuss and debate Christmas and its customs.  First it will be some fact versus fiction as the guys dispel some common Christmas myths and discuss the tremendous significance of Jesus coming in the flesh.  There is a lively discussion of Jesus as a newborn, infant and toddler--what kind of child was he like?  What about the  recentJupiter/Saturn conjunction being labeled as  the coming of the "Christmas Star?"  Is it, or is it just hype?  And what would the shepherds, and wise men have seen in the sky, and when?  There is also a spirited debate over favorite Christmas movies and least favorite movies.

Have you ever wondered why we believe what we believe about the Advent of our Lord Jesus Christ? In this session, I begin to unpack the absolute truth about His birth, the lies we have been told and the truth of what really happened. I conclude this message in the next session so be sure to listen to both!
