(Preached Sunday, December 18, 2016)
It’s a story told so simply, with such spare attention to detail and yet so explicit in its narration, that we could, if not prepared, easily miss the point.
Jesus Christ was born. God’s Son. The Son of Man. The Prince of Peace. Love came down. Hope exploded over a hungry earth. God handed us salvation in a manger, and said, “Here. Take it. It’s yours.”
