Christmas Comfort (Luke 2:1-14)

Christmas is the celebration of the birth of the Jesus Christ, the God-Man. It is the celebration of the incarnation. The Christmas story is the story of the greatest of miracles but unlike many “holiday lore” the story of Christmas is a historical reality. It happened. God took on human flesh. The incarnation is the most profound of mysteries. As Paul puts it, “Without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness, God was manifested in the flesh” (1 Timothy 3:16). It is also at the foundation of all of the comfort that the gospel offers to us; for without the incarnation there could be no gospel. On this special day I want to highlight some of the comforting realities associated with the entrance of the Son of God into the world in space-time history. Such comfort which we all need, eventually, in this sin-cursed world.
