This message reflects on how God has always spoken to His people, first through the prophets and finally, fully, through His Son. The prophets exposed the heart of sin—not just wrongdoing, but our search for life where it cannot be found—and pointed ahead to God’s promise to restore true life. That promise is fulfilled in the birth of Jesus, the Word made flesh. The child in the manger is the heir of all things, the Creator and sustainer of the universe, now come in humility to give life to a dying world. In Christ, God reveals His glory, grace, and truth, offering forgiveness, resurrection, and a life that will not let us down.
