Christmas is almost here, and I imagine you will be hearing many sermons from both Old and New Testaments concerning the Christ of Christmas.
During Christmas, we often listen to Handel’s Messiah, not only for good aesthetics but also for excellent theology. My friend, Gary Inrig, has captured the concept of Isaiah 9 with his description of the coming Christ as Isaiah describes Him.
He is the…. Wonderful Counselor who understands the Complexities of Life Mighty God who can deal with the Circumstances of Life Eternal Father who can deal with the Changes of Life Prince of peace who can heal the brokenness and make us Complete in Life In a Culture that is Confused and Corrupt through Consumerism and Commodification, it is hard to think Clearly about Christmas. However, God has made it quite clear.
Jesus came through the Crib and left by the Cross and will come again to be Crowned and Consummate His Kingdom.
“Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (Heb 13:20-21) All glory be unto Him.
Serving HIM with you Until He comes for us. Fred
