The Seed of the Woman – The Word Became Flesh!

Genesis 3:8-19; John 1:1-14 – Part 2

Pastor Terry Kern

Introduction

Let’s Celebrate the BIRTH of our SAVIOR by our STUDY of JOHN 1:1-14!

THE AW-FUL ACCOUNT of WHAT HAPPENED! (Genesis 1-3 )

First – Genesis chapter 1 – Elohim. Genesis 2ff – YHWH Elohim.
Second – Elohim is an impersonal Title. YHWH is His personal name
Third – YHWH means “Self-Existent One” – Source of LIFE – that life was breathed into the nostrils of the lifeless dirt and Adam became a “LIVING BEING.”
Fourth –The curses on the woman and the man involved pain and trouble in creating and sustaining human life on earth
YESHUA means “YHWH is SALVATION”! Jesus’ name means that He saves Sinners from their sin. We must BELIEVE IN HIS NAME – IN HIM – in order to have Eternal Life.

THE AWE-SOME & WONDER-FUL ACCOUNT OF WHAT HAPPENED (John 1:1-14 )

The Word – YHWH Yeshua – The Dossier – John 1:1-5
The Word – YHWH Yeshua – The Life and the Light – John 1:6-9
The Word – YHWH Yeshua - The Word became Flesh – John 1:10-14

Timeless Truth

Genesis 3:15 – “… and I will put enmity between you and the woman, between your seed and her Seed. He shall bruise your head and you shall bruise His heel.”

John 1:4 – “In Him was life and the life was the light of men.”

John 1:10 – “He was in the world, and the world was made through Him and the world did not know Him.”

John 1:12 – “But as many as received Him to them He gave the right to become the children of God, EVEN TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIS NAME.”

John 1:14 – “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory; glory as of the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth.”His Son.

Living Lesson

This is the Christmas Story – the REAL CHRISTMAS STORY. All the historical details of His miraculous conception and His earthly father and mother and the census and their trip to Bethlehem and the shepherds and King Herod and the Magi, etc., are all very heartwarming and important. BUT the REAL HEART OF THE STORY is the INCARNATION of the 2nd Person of the eternal Godhead named YHWH YESHUA – the only one with LIFE IN HIMSELF who gives ETERNAL LIFE to everyone who receives Him – BELIEVES IN HIS NAME. “Believe on the Lord Jesus, The Christ, and you will be SAVED.” (Acts 16:31).
