Wanting the Story to Be True (John 1:6-18) [Jay Thomas]

 â€¢ Jay Thomas â€¢ Series: The Word Became Flesh / Advent in John

Sometimes we want to want a thing. We see merit but realistically we're not going to expend much effort because we're just not feeling hot about it yet. But then something happens. We get to the point of actually wanting something. That is a game-changer. A lot of people want to want the Truth, but often life and other things just gets in the way. Or maybe it goes deeper. Maybe OUR glory gets in the way. The story of John 1:6-18 is about our ultimate design and desire - Jesus as the very glory of God... and not just as an idea; Jesus IS the glory we are designed to have intimacy with.
