Sermon: The Promise (Why A Savior series)

God's promise is realized through the coming of Christ.  Through the promise of a Messiah, we catch a glimpse into the perfect commitment God has to his creation.  The promise may seem obvious to us, but it wasn't to the Pharisees and Sadducees; the religious elite of their day.  Were they stupid?  Were they full of hate?  Or did they simply fall into the same trap so many of us fall into of thinking we understand the scriptures far better than we really do?
