Who is Jesus? Advent in John 1:1-15Who is Jesus? Advent in John 1:1-15

‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.' (John 1:1-5 NIV)

This Advent season, we invite you to spend time in the opening verses of John’s Gospel, exploring what these verses reveal to us about who Jesus is – the Word, Creator, Life, Light, Immanuel, God with us.

As we remember and celebrate who Jesus is and what he came to do, rediscover the significance of this arrival for humanity. For you.
