Summary
And then they've got three branches coming out here, three branches coming out here, and so we've got the light, the light, the light, the light, the light, light, light. If you ever as a New Year's resolution decide to do a word study and really study and hone in on one word of scripture for a year or for a month, I encourage you to do light because there is a lot on light in God's word for us and a lot of of how Jesus is the light and then he moves us through his Holy Spirit to be light in the world. So the priest gave him the holy bread for there was no bread there except the bread of presence which is removed from before the Lord to be replaced by hot bread on the day it is taken away. And we're going to go to verse 31 or began at 31 so if you can see my notes, I have John 6, 31 through 35-ish because there's a lot about Jesus being the bread of life in this chapter and it goes into amazing, amazing teaching on communion but I don't think we're going to go there right now. And today we celebrate the birth, the birth of God is gracious because the birth of John is a promise made and a promise kept and as we celebrate that promise that has been kept, we celebrate knowing that the promise of redemption of our sins, the promise of the full forgiveness of our sin, the full darkness in which you were born has been cleared by the light of Christ, the promised Messiah, the promise that was made by God Himself and kept in God Himself. He is exiled here and he is prophesying and he's prophesying about the fall of Jerusalem and he says, the glory of the Lord is going to leave the temple and it's going to go east and it's going to rest on the Mount of all of us.
