Advent - Week Two

John 1:1-18

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. - Genesis 1:1

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty,

Maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God,

begotten of his Father before all worlds,

God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God,

begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father,

by whom all things were made…

“The only begotten of the Father makes the Father known. Could we hope for better access to the Father? Who has had more time with the Father? Who has seen more of his work and character, seen him in more situations of judgment, merriment, or forgiveness? Who could have a more intimate view? Who could more accurately relate these truths? Who could more fully identify with the emotional depth of the Father’s love? In the Son we have a perfect revelation of the Father.” - James Hamilton, Jr.
