In this Christmas Day message, Mark Sayers reflects on how the birth of Jesus only makes full sense when we see it stretched across time—rooted in God’s promises of the past and opening toward God’s future for us. Drawing from John’s cosmic vision of Christ as the Word who holds all things together, and Luke’s earthy scene of a baby in a manger, Mark reminds us that Christmas is where eternity enters time, quietly and personally. Jesus doesn’t come as an idea or force, but as a child who dwells with us—present in our joy, our grief, and the unseen moments of our lives. Even when we can’t recognise what God is doing, He is still at work, often hidden and slow. And just as the manger held immense possibility, so too does our future in Christ: God is not finished yet. The good news of Christmas is this—Jesus loves you, He is close to you, He is at work in your life, and His story with you is still unfolding.
