Christmas Day
John 1:1-18
12/25/2025
Last evening we heard the voice of the angels announcing the
birth of our Savior. Today we ponder this great and mighty
wonder.
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.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has
not overcome it.
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.
The true light, which enlightens 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. 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.
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. (John bore
witness about him, and cried out, This was he of whom I
said, He who comes after me ranks before me, because he
was before me.) And from his fullness we have all
received, grace upon grace. For the law was given
through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus
Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is
at the Father's side, he has made him known. (ESV)
From Trinity Lutheran Church to you and your families, may
our Lord grant you a blessed Christmas. Our Savior is born.
Amen.
