The Cradle and The Cross
December 3 – 17, 2023
3 Sermons
 
The Christmas season is upon us… complete with festive songs, bright lights and decorations in all the stores. (Okay, those have been up for a long time already.) It’s a season of celebration. Celebrating that God came to be with us as a human in this world. Celebrating the story of Mary and Joseph and their baby boy born in a manger. Celebrating the birth of Jesus. But the cross cast its shadow on the manger. The crying of the newborn baby boy foreshadowing the suffering of the Son of God, sacrificed for our sins. The pain of childbirth pointing to the pain of a crucified Christ. We celebrate how Jesus came to us because of how Jesus died for us. We celebrate that God came to be with us at Christmas, because at Easter He made a way for us to be with Him, forever in paradise. In our next series, the Cradle and the Cross, we’ll connect the dots between these two events, and discover even more reason to celebrate during this season.
