Great Joy at Christmas | Carol Service

This sermon proclaims that the Christmas story is a cause for great joy!

The people in this story found themselves in darkness. A darkness caused by external evil and their own individual wrong doing. A context we can relate to today. Yet, Jesus the Son of God chose to come to earth in human form in the midst of this, why? Because Jesus knew his mission was to rescue people from their sins. The consequences of accepting Jesus’ free gift of grace that washes our sins away are great joy and worship.

No matter what darkness we may face this Christmas and/or at any other time of the year, the Christmas story encapsulates the coming of the one who shines forth brightly. For all who believe in him, there is the reassurance that the light that shines forth from him is greater than all the darkness in the world.
