1 John 2:23–"No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also."
This verse is an important assertion about the intimate relationship between two members of the Godhead, Jesus and the Father. It is not unique in that it is affirmed and asserted throughout Scripture that one may not possess an honest belief in God the Father save through the Son, and vice versa. The Son is the gateway to the Father (John 14:6), just as those who are in the Father must possess the Son as well.
Christmas, in reality, is a unique convergence between these two members of the Godhead, completed by the presence of the Holy Spirit who indwells Mary with a son, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Father.
We should not easily forget or neglect the real interconnected intimacy of the Godhead as we seek to worship God in His infinitude this season.
