Sermon Introduction –
Christ the savior is born! We’ve all heard the story of Christmas before, but what difference does it actually make for our lives? What does it mean that God was born in a manger?
Introduction to this week’s readings –
In winter’s deepest night, we welcome the light of the Christ child. Isaiah declares that the light of the long-promised king will illumine the world and bring endless peace and justice. Paul reminds us that the grace of God through Jesus Christ brings salvation to all people. The angels declare that Jesus’ birth is good and joyful news for everyone, including lowly shepherds. Filled with the light that shines in our lives, we go forth to share the light of Christ with the whole world.
