Sermon: The Birth of Christ and God’s Sovereign PlanIntroduction
- Opening Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 – The birth of Jesus Christ.
- The world awaited a Savior, but He came in a way no one expected: not in a palace, but in a manger.
- Main Point: The humble beginnings of Christ reveal the nature of God’s kingdom—where the lowly are exalted.
I. The Sovereignty of God in Christ’s Birth
- Luke 2:1-5 – Caesar Augustus issues a decree, but God is orchestrating everything.
- Prophecy Fulfilled: Micah 5:2 foretells the Messiah’s birth in Bethlehem.
- The journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem was not by chance—it was divine fulfillment.
- Application: Even when life seems chaotic, God is always in control.
II. The Humility of Christ’s Arrival
- Luke 2:6-7 – Jesus was born in a manger, showing that God’s glory is revealed through humility.
- Philippians 2:6-8 – Christ emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant.
- The King of Kings was placed in a feeding trough—an image of humility and servanthood.
- Application: God values humility and seeks those who are willing to serve, not elevate themselves.
III. The Message to the Shepherds
- Luke 2:8-20 – The angels appear to lowly shepherds, not to kings or rulers.
- The good news of salvation was first announced to those society overlooked.
- “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men” (Luke 2:14).
- Application: The gospel is for everyone, regardless of status, wealth, or background.
Conclusion
- The birth of Christ was the beginning of the greatest story ever told—the redemption of mankind.
- Are we willing to humble ourselves and receive the King as the shepherds did?
- Final Call: Let us rejoice in the birth of Christ and share this good news with the world.
