The Paradox of Christmas

God is born, and might trembles, an old Polish carol describes Christmas entirely through contradictions: the almighty becomes a defenceless infant, the infinite fits into a tiny body. This sermon walks through the paradoxes of the Messiah’s birth, who came into the world amid scandal, in a stable, welcomed by shepherds (Luke 2; Philippians 2). The preacher also asks what pushes Christ out of his own birthday today, from glittering shop windows to a figure in a red coat. Listen and check whether the star of Bethlehem still points you in the right direction this Christmas.
