The Glory and Humility of the Birth of Jesus

Orchard Community Church Sermon Audio

Sometimes Christmas morning doesn't quite go to plan. Maybe as a kid you expected that one perfect gift that you asked for and anticipated and it just didn't happen. Maybe as an adult you had plans for a perfect celebration that were altered at the last minute. For generations God's people had ideas about how their glorious savior and king would come, but God had other, better plans for the birth of Jesus. As we look at the birth of Jesus in Luke 2:1-21 in a sermon called "The Glory and Humility of the Birth of Jesus," we see that Jesus came with the glory of God yet in a way that was unexpectedly humble. These themes of glory and humility continue throughout the life of Christ and are central to the gospel as well. In fact the idea of glory that is seen through humility becomes something that every follower of Jesus is to display in our lives as we reflect the glory and humility of our savior.
