This Christmas sermon explores the profound truth that God's love came to humanity through Jesus Christ. The message emphasizes that Christmas is about God becoming human—Emmanuel, "God with us"—to demonstrate that there is room in His kingdom for everyone, regardless of their past or present circumstances. Drawing from Luke's nativity account and the writings of St. Augustine, the sermon reveals that God didn't send Jesus to condemn the world but to reconcile it to Himself. The core message is that God loves us, is for us, pursues us relentlessly, and does not count our sins against us. Christmas represents God's initiative to move toward humanity, removing the mystery about His character and providing a clear path to relationship with Him.
