The Gift of Christmas - Glory, Peace and Joy to all the world

(Audio: Spanish, English) ->Original

SUMMARY: In this sermon, the speaker discusses two passages of Scripture, one from Isaiah and the other from Luke, that describe the birth of Jesus Christ. Both passages point to the divine nature of Jesus, his impact on humanity, and his universal ministry. The speaker identifies five qualities of Jesus as revealed in these passages: a God of glory, a God of peace, a God of joy, a personal God, and a universal God. The speaker emphasizes the importance of meditating on the glory of God and the peace that Jesus brings to our hearts, even in times of trial and difficulty. The speaker concludes by encouraging listeners to remember the message of Christmas and the impact that Jesus has on their lives.

The speaker discusses the themes of joy, peace, and personal and universal aspects of God in relation to the Christmas story. He emphasizes the decision to choose joy even in difficult times and the idea that Christ was born for all people, not just a select few. He ends with an invitation to invite God into one's heart and to approach Him with confidence and sincerity.

I now want to invite you to go to the Word of the Lord in two different passages of Scripture, one is found in the Book of the Prophet Isaiah in chapter 9, we are going to read verses from 1 to 7 and then we are going to read in the Gospel according to Saint Luke in chapter 2.

Isaiah says in chapter 9: “But there will not always be darkness for the one who is now in anguish, such as the affliction that came to him at the time that they lightly touched the land of Zadulon and the land of Neptali for the first time, for at the end will fill the road to the sea on that side of the Jordan in Galilee of the Gentiles with glory.”
