Christmas Blessing

This Christmas sermon explores the often-overlooked passage of Simeon's encounter with the infant Jesus at the temple. The pastor emphasizes that Jesus is far more than the peaceful baby depicted on Christmas cards—He is the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and the salvation of God for all people. Through examining Luke 2:21-35, the sermon reveals how God continually affirmed Joseph and Mary's calling as parents of the Messiah, particularly through Simeon's Spirit-led recognition of Jesus as God's salvation. The message challenges listeners to see Jesus not merely as a historical figure or sentimental image, but as their personal Saviour whose coming demands a response. The sermon concludes with the sobering truth that while Jesus came to bring salvation to all, He will also cause division, as each person must decide who Jesus is and whether they will accept or reject Him.
