John 1:14-18

Part 1 of 2

October 25, 2024 • Pastor Mark Kirk • John 1:14–18

If you’ve been a Christian for a while or grew up in the church, then the fact that Jesus became a man is no big deal to you. That’s just Christianity 101. But that was actually a very big deal. As Pastor Mark explains in today’s message, God becoming a man was something completely new for God that He had never done before. The Almighty Creator of the Universe stepped down from all of His infinite glory to become a man. Can you imagine what that must have felt like for Him? To feel hungry and tired, to get sick and weak, to feel pain. Jesus became a weak, humble man so that He could save you from your sins and give you eternal life.

John 1:29-42

Do you know what the most significant event in history is? It’s not the discovery of America or the invention of the iPhone. It’s Jesus’ death on the cross. As Pastor Mark teaches in today’s message, Jesus’ death had cosmic importance. It changed the course of history and impacted everyone who lived and ever will live. Until Jesus’ death, there was no way to get rid of the problem of sin. Animal sacrifices were only a temporary covering for sins. But Jesus died once and for all sins - past, present, and future sins. When you accept Jesus as your Savior, there’s nothing you have to do to earn salvation. Jesus already did everything for you!

John 1:19-28, Malachi 4:5

It’s scary sharing the Gospel, isn’t it? Even in America, where we have freedom of speech and religion, things can get very uncomfortable and even downright hostile when we share the truth about Jesus. The Gospel is offensive to people because it goes against their pride, self-righteousness, and self-sufficiency. Today, Pastor Mark encourages you to be mentally prepared to share your faith with others. You will be rejected, criticized, and mocked, just like the prophets, the disciples, and even Jesus. But stand firm in your faith, and ask the Holy Spirit to give you the boldness to share the message of salvation with those around you!

John 1:19-28

Have you shared your faith with a non-believer? Have you told someone about what Jesus has done for you? You might think that you don’t have a testimony that’s worth sharing, but you’ve got a message that’s important for others to hear! In today’s message, Pastor Mark tells you that you have a message of eternal hope! Just as John the Baptist was a voice in the wilderness to prepare people to accept Jesus, you are also a voice in the wilderness of America. More and more people are leaving the church or have never even heard the Gospel. Ask God for the courage and opportunity to share Jesus with those who need the saving truth!
