Andrew Baker | Luke 2:1-11; Galatians 4:4; Matthew 1:21; John 3:16-17 — The popular themes of hope, joy, and peace are all wonderful, but they are ultimately peripheral to the central theme of Christmas: Christ the Saviour is born. Instead of the condemnation that we rightly deserved, Jesus’ coming embodied a real plan, with a real purpose and promise - to save us from our sin and bring us into everlasting relationship with the Father.
