In a game of telephone, a few people are enough to make a simple sentence unrecognizable, so what happens to the truth about God after two thousand years of retelling? This Christmas sermon asks who the Child laid in the Bethlehem manger really is, and answers with the words of the Apostle Paul from Colossians (Colossians 1): he is the image of the invisible God, the Creator of all things, and the head of the Church. Instead of the porcelain baby Jesus of holiday commercials, we discover the ruler of the universe who shed his blood to reconcile us to God. Listen before Christmas becomes ordinary to you again.
Who Is This Child?
4 Perspectives
Jesus Christ is such an extraordinary figure that it is difficult to find a single way to describe both Him and what He did. That is why, as we prepare for the upcoming Christmas season, we want to look at Jesus from four different perspectives found in the Bible. We’ll explore the perspectives of the prophet, the evangelist, the theologian, and the visionary. And we’ll do all this not only to see Him in a new light, but also to change our own perspective on life.
