Sermon for Christmas 2 (Luke 2:41-52) | January 4, 2026
from All Saints Anglican Church · host All Saints Anglican Church
We all want to understand what is happening when things are not easy, because we believe that understanding will bring us some kind of peace. But Mary in Luke’s Gospel offers us a picture of a different kind of peace and trust, a paradigm of humility in faithfulness, treasuring what we cannot be understood so as to trust God through confusion and heartbreak. Ultimately, her life as a Christ-bearer, like ours, is about embracing the Cross-shaped pattern of the Christian life that leads ultimately to resurrection.
