Episode description
“This isn’t just a Christmas story, it’s the story of all time.”
In this special edition podcast, Kiri, Adam and Mason are joined by Dr. Steven Paulson to share a conversation about the lectionary text for Christmas Day.
In what Dr. Paulson calls some of the most poetic words in Scripture, the team discusses the opening verses of the Gospel of John: The Word Became Flesh.
-Why is this the text for Christmas Day?
-What does it mean that Jesus is called the Word?
-Why is John the Baptist slipped in this otherwise poetic piece of Scripture?
