The Birth of Christ Is Announced to Shepherds—Luke 2:8-14 https://youtube.com/live/XOl21BtpvCo #biblestr

John is a voice. Not the Word. A voice. And that’s what faithful preaching always is: a mouth that points not to itself but to Christ. John is doing exactly what Isaiah foretold, as the Angel Gabriel proclaimed and Zechariah confessed. Right after that fierce, tender opening, God gives John this work: “Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.” (Isa. 40:1) How does God comfort? Not by pretending sin is small or telling people they’re “fine.” He comforts by sending a messenger who tells the truth and by sending the Lord Himself to save. View Article →

Stop trying to keep God at a manageable distance. He will not be managed. He will be received. “The Lord is with you.” (Luke 1:28). And the One who is with you is not an idea. He is Jesus—true God and true man—your Brother in the flesh, your Savior from sin, your King whose reign does not end. #biblestr View Article →
