8.31.25 - Message: The Word Became Flesh—Life as a New Creation

The sermon for this Sunday is titled, "The Word Became Flesh—Life as a New Creation" and the scriptures of focus are John 1:1-5; 9-14, 1 Corinthians 15:45-49, and 2 Corinthians 5:17. The story of God, humanity, and creation does not end with Genesis. It continues into the Second Testament and we witness this story unfold with spectacular splendor in the Gospel of John. "In the beginning was the Word... And the Word became flesh and lived among us" (John 1:1; 14). The first human, Adam, became a living being; the last Adam, Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, transcended the bounds of creatureliness and became a life-giving spirit and gift to the world. Through the power and revelation of Jesus Christ unto the world, the story of humanity is one that is transformed and becomes something new. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" (2 Corinthians 5:17). Through God's gift of Jesus Christ joining the world, the chasm of fragmented relationships between God and humanity, humanity to one another and self, and humanity and creation may be repaired, reconciled, and restored. It is only in God's enfleshed, participatory love and grace, that we may be restored, new creatures and lead as God's instruments of transformative love in the world.
