The Birth of Jesus Christ (Luke 2:1-7)

Part of the wonder of Christmas is the stunning paradox of Christ’s birth—Majesty laid in a manger, the Almighty cradled as a child. In Luke 2:1–7, we behold the Lord of glory who, for love’s sake, stepped down from the throne to the straw, choosing poverty that sinners might be made rich. In this message, we’ll trace the profound contrasts of the incarnation—divine glory in lowly places, kingly honor in common circumstances—and see what they unveil about the depth of God’s redeeming love.
