Emmanuel
Dec 23, 2024 • Bill Sherrard
In his sermon, Bill emphasizes the significance of Jesus' birth from God's perspective, highlighting that it was part of a perfect plan for salvation, not merely a humble event in a stable. He explains that this plan was meticulously detailed and timed, beginning with God's promise to humanity since the fall in the garden and culminating with the birth of Jesus, who represents God with us.
Bill illustrates the dual nature of Jesus as fully God and fully man, explaining how this enables Him to be both our Savior and our mediator. Ultimately, the sermon calls for deeper reflection on the true meaning of Christmas, celebrating not just the birth of a child, but the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan through Jesus.
