Luke 2:16 “A God for the Everyday”

Preacher: Will Spink
Sunday Morning
Date: 29th December 2024
Passage: Luke 2:16
-------------------
“Those who believe in God can never in a way be sure of him again. Once they
have seen him in a stable, they can never be sure where he will appear or to what
lengths he will go or to what ludicrous depths of self-humiliation he will descend in
his wild pursuit of man. If holiness and the awful power and majesty of God were
present in this least auspicious of all events, this birth of a peasant’s child, then
there is no place where we can hide from God, no place where we are safe from
his power to break in two and recreate the human heart because it is just where he
seems most helpless that he is most strong, and just where we least expect him
that he comes most fully.”
