3. Just as a satellite
photo can clarify
the details of our
planet –
So Jesus Christ
clarifies the
mysteries of God
Jesus is the Light of
God and God’s
Light to the World.

11. John 1:1-4 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 was not any thing
made that was made. In
him was life, and the life
was the light of men.

14. John 1:9-11 The true light, which gives light to
everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the
world, and the world was made through him, yet the
world did not know him. He came to his own, and his
own people did not receive him.
15. Romans 1:18-21 For the wrath of God is revealed from
heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of
men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the
truth. For what can be known about God is plain to
them, because God has shown it to them. For his
invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and
divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since
the creation of the world, in the things that have been
made. So they are without excuse. For although they
knew God, they did not honor him as God or give
thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking,
and their foolish hearts were darkened.
16. Matthew 2:13
Now when they had
departed, behold, an angel
of the Lord appeared to
Joseph in a dream and said,
“Rise, take the child and his
mother, and flee to Egypt,
and remain there until I tell
you, for Herod is about to
search for the child, to
destroy him.”
17. John 1:12-13
But to all who did receive
him, who believed in his
name, he gave the right to
become children of God,
who were born, not of
blood nor of the will of
the flesh nor of the will of
man, but of God.
18. John 1:6-8
There was a man sent from
God, whose name was
John. He came as a witness,
to bear witness about the
light, that all might believe
through him. He was not
the light, but came to bear
witness about the light.
19. Luke 2:29-32
“Lord, now you are letting your
servant depart in peace
according to your word; for my
eyes have seen your salvation
that you have prepared in the
presence of all peoples, a light
for revelation to the Gentiles,
and for glory to your
people Israel.”
20. Luke 2:38
And coming up at that
very hour she began to
give thanks to God and to
speak of him to all who
were waiting for the
redemption of
Jerusalem.

23. John 1:14
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and
we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from
the Father, full of grace and truth.
24. Hebrews 1:1-4
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke
to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days
he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed
the heir of all things, through whom also he created
the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and
the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the
universe by the word of his power. After making
purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of
the Majesty on high, having become as much superior
to angels as the name he has inherited is more
excellent than theirs.
25. Revelation 21:22-24
And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the
Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has
no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of
God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. By its light
will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will
bring their glory into it…
26. He by whom all things were made was made one of all
things…. He who fills the world lays in a manger, great
in the form of God but tiny in the form of a servant;
this was in such a way that neither was His greatness
diminished by His tininess, nor was His tininess
overcome by His greatness.
Augustine, Sermon 187 1.1
27. He so loved us that, for our sake,
He was made man in time,
although through him all times were made.
He was made man, who made man.
He was created of a mother whom he created.
He was carried by hands that he formed.
He cried in the manger in wordless infancy,
he the Word,
Without whom all human eloquence is mute.
Augustine, Sermon 188 2
