In this post, I explore one of the most surprising and beautifully raw titles given to Jesus: the Lamb of God. From John the Baptist’s first declaration to the soaring worship scenes in Revelation, the New Testament reveals a Lamb who is both gentle and powerful, sacrificial and victorious. This isn’t just theology—it’s an invitation to see God’s heart and let His self-giving love reshape our own lives, especially in this Advent season.

I’ve had twinkling lights all over my house lately — partly because it’s Advent, partly because they just make everything feel a little more hopeful. And every time I switch them on, I’m reminded of something deeper: the New Testament calls Jesus the Light of the world.

Not just a pretty glow, but the kind of light that pushes back real darkness — the fears, the heaviness, the things we don’t often talk about this time of year when things are supposed to be sparkly. This post is my attempt to sit with that for a moment: what it means that Jesus is the Light who meets us right where we are.

I was in the dentist’s chair today (never my favourite place), and all I could think was: surely there has to be a world where things don’t decay or break down. And honestly? That little moment of longing pointed me straight to Jesus. The New Testament calls Him our Redeemer — the One who steps into the mess, pays the cost we can’t, and starts restoring what’s worn-out in us and in the world. That’s the hope I’m holding onto: the Redeemer really is making all things new.

Each Advent we return to familiar words about hope, light, and promise. But beneath the beauty of the season sits a bold and often-contested claim at the heart of Christian faith: that Jesus is the Son of God.

For some, the phrase feels comforting and ordinary; for others, it raises questions or skepticism. What does it really mean? Why did it matter so much to the first Christians — and why does it still matter now?

In this post, I invite you to pause with that ancient name, step back into the story of Scripture, and rediscover why the claim that Jesus is the Son of God continues to challenge, unsettle, and offer hope today.

Calling Jesus “the Word” means God has chosen to reveal Himself not through ideas but through a person. In Jesus, God speaks, creates, heals, and draws near with clarity and compassion. This article reflects on how Christ makes God known in tangible, personal ways—and offers thoughtful questions for Christians and those exploring faith to consider what it means to receive the Word today.
