Matthew 27:32-56"The cross doesn't need to be dressed up. The cross of Christ needs no help". (Alistair Begg)

Matthew 27:11-31, "Christ the King""Every Jew knew about Barabbas. He must have been something of a celebrity, a hero, what the people wanted. The people wanted a king they could understand, an earthly king offering earthly advantages, rather than a king from heaven who offered truth, righteousness, and eternal salvation.... It is a powerful lesson. Sinners will always prefer a manageable earthly ruler, however self serving, violent, or even evil, to Jesus Christ" (James M Boice)

Luke 2:39-52, Jesus at Twelve years old--"After over a decade of normalcy the supernatural nature of their son and his destiny breaks in on them again" (Robert Stein)

Advent Joy!-- Luke 2:1-10---"Joy, which was the small publicity of the pagan, is the gigantic secret of the Christian. There was some one thing that was too great for God to show us when He walked upon our earth; and I have sometimes fancies that it was His mirth" (Chesterton)
