Sermon Title: Christ Has Come!
Sermon Series: Christ Has Come! (Advent)
Sermon Text:
As we gather this Christmas Eve, we come to this very special place and time.
We gather here tonight to remember that some 2,000 years ago when a certain young lady would give birth to the Son of God.
This wonderful scene would take place in the only place worthy of it: Bethlehem, the City of David.
This is important because centuries before this moment, God had made a promise to this David that Bethlehem was named after.
About 1,000 years after that promise was made, God would make good on His word.
This child that was born in Bethlehem and laid in a manger would hold the throne over God’s people forevermore.
He would not sit on a throne here on earth, but He would lead God’s people.
He would conquer sin by giving His life upon an old, rugged cross.
He would conquer death by rising from the grave.
This baby who laid in a manger was not seen by many as the king He was.
To most, He was simply another boy born to a poor family who had no better place than a borrowed farmhouse to welcome their child into the world.
But to som2 e others, He was so much more.
We see that to Joseph and Mary, this baby boy was the fulfillment of God’s promises.
God had watched over this family for this moment and would continue to do so in great ways.
As they held this dear child, they were reminded that the God that said He would take care of them is trustworthy.
The shepherds in the fields that night were told by God’s heavenly messengers that this child was the long-awaited Messiah.
Because of their job, they did not have much opportunity to enter the Temple for worship.
We see that God came to them right where they were — a picture of God’s plan: to come to where sinners were to rescue them and bring them where they should be.
These shepherds had the opportunity to see and experience the Messiah firsthand.
The amazing part of the Christmas story is that each of us have that same opportunity.
We can come to this same Jesus and find what we are looking for.
As we celebrate this event tonight, may we come to Jesus and experience the hope, comfort, joy, and peace that only He can bring.
