Why Christmas?
1. Because he came into the world (v.10a)
• Who he is
• Who he is to the world
2. The world in which he was and is rejected (vv.10b-11)
• The world which will not know him but should
• Even those who should know him but didn’t
3. Yet in the world he was and is received by some (v.12)
• Reception is believing in his name
• Reception is through nothing less than a new creation
4. Because we are in this world
• Who he is to us
• What he offers us
He is why Christmas
