  1. Simpler Decorations Pastor Jon Fulton December 9, 2018 Series: Christmas Pure & Simple

  2. 1In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He existed in the beginning with God. 3 God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. 4 The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. --John 1:1-4 (NLT)

  3. 1. Jesus’s life lights up our own lives

  4. 5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. 6 God sent a man, John the Baptist, 7 to tell about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony. 8 John himself was not the light; he was simply a witness to tell about the light. 9 The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. --John 1:5-9 (NLT)

  5. 2. Jesus’s powerlights up our own lives

  6. 10He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him. 11 He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. 12 But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. 13 They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God. 14So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son. --John 1:10-14 (NLT)

  7. 3. Jesus’s glorylights up our own lives

  8. “God is most glorified when we are most satisfied in all that he is in the person of Jesus Christ. --John Piper--

  9. 35Jesus replied, “My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going. 36 Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light.” --John 12:35-36 (NLT)

  10. Jesus was essentially saying his light or his way is the clarity, direction and happiness in our lives. It’s the satisfaction we need!
