    The Four Wise Men (In The Gospel Of John)

    Contributed by Peter Baumgartle on Dec 20, 2023
     | 2,000 views

    The Christmas Story in the Gospel of John is far different than the account in Matthew and Luke. There is no baby, no Mary and Joseph, no angels, no shepherds. But there were four wise men.

    The Gospel of John, chapter 1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light ...read more

    We celebrate the birth of Christ, the only HOPE for this world, who gave his life for all mankind to rescue them from sin and death.

    The names of Jesus also challenge us to live in response to His identity. If He is Emmanuel, then we are never alone, and we are called to bring His presence into the lives of others.

    The Names of Jesus at Christmas Names carry significance, and in the Bible, they often reveal something profound about a person’s character, mission, or identity. This is especially true of the names of Jesus, which reflect His divine purpose and the hope He brings to the world. At Christmas, we ...read more
