Receiving the Gift
Too many miss the greatest gift of Christmas. The Gift is here-embrace it!
A man named Simeon was in Jerusalem. He lived an honorable and devout life. He was waiting for the one who would comfort Israel. The Holy Spirit was with Simeon and had told him that he wouldn’t die until he had seen the Messiah, whom the Lord would send. Moved by the Spirit, Simeon went into the temple courtyard. Mary and Joseph were bringing the child Jesus into the courtyard at the same time. They brought him so that they could do for him what Moses’ Teachings required. Then Simeon took the child in his arms and praised God by saying, “Now, Lord, you are allowing your servant to leave in peace as you promised.” Luke 2:25-29 (GW)

Awaiting the Gift
Generations of First Testament believers yearned for the greatest gift of all. See how God’s timing was flawless then—and remains perfect today.
At that time the Emperor Augustus ordered a census of the Roman Empire. This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. All the people went to register in the cities where their ancestors had lived. So Joseph went from Nazareth, a city in Galilee, to a Judean city called Bethlehem. Joseph, a descendant of King David, went to Bethlehem because David had been born there. Joseph went there to register with Mary. She had been promised to him in marriage and was pregnant. While they were in Bethlehem, the time came for Mary to have her child. Luke 2:1-6 (GW)

Giving Gifts
The wise men started it. God perfected it. Discover from the masters the secret of giving great gifts.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea when Herod was king. After Jesus’ birth wise men from the east arrived in Jerusalem. They asked, “Where is the one who was born to be the king of the Jews? We saw his star rising and have come to worship him.” When King Herod and all Jerusalem heard about this, they became disturbed. He called together all the chief priests and scribes and tried to find out from them where the Messiah was supposed to be born. They told him, “In Bethlehem in Judea. The prophet wrote about this: Bethlehem in the land of Judah, you are by no means least among the leaders of Judah. A leader will come from you. He will shepherd my people Israel.” Then Herod secretly called the wise men and found out from them exactly when the star had appeared. As he sent them to Bethlehem, he said, “Go and search carefully for the child. When you have found him, report to me so that I may go and worship him too.” After they had heard the king, they started out. The star they had seen rising led them until it stopped over the place where the child was. They were overwhelmed with joy to see the star. When they entered the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary. So they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. God warned them in a dream not to go back to Herod. So they left for their country by another road. Matthew 2:1-12 (GW)

The Cross, The Throne
There is a King who doesn’t seize power but gives Himself away.
Today is Christ the King Sunday – the last Sunday in the traditional Church Year – and we don’t end the year in triumphal gold but at the foot of a cross, where the true throne stands and where the kingdom of God breaks into the world with a wounded whisper. In Colossians and Luke, we see the cosmic Christ holding all things together even as creation trembles at His death, and we meet a dying King whose first royal act is to welcome a broken thief into paradise. This is kingship the world can’t imitate: suffering love that rescues, restores, and remakes.
This Sunday’s sermon uncovers the breathtaking paradox of Christ’s reign – how the One who spoke galaxies into existence rules from a criminal’s cross, reconciling all things by His own blood. The year closes with a call to look again at the King who turns His bruised face toward sinners and says, “You are Mine… and you will be with Me.” Come and see the kingdom revealed in its truest glory, and hear the promise spoken for you.
