Scripture Reference: Luke 24:13-32
The beginning of a three-week mini series on CPC’s core values, we look at what we mean when we say that we “Proclaim a Hope.” The Bible (and more specifically what the Bible talks about) is the heart of what we’re about here. The Bible’s authority, it’s subject, and it’s power is our topic this morning.
Sermon Points:
Luke 2:22-35
The last song we’ll consider is Simeon’s treatment of his life’s longing. The Spirit promised him that he’d see the resolution of all his life’s longing. But that longing still has a sober tone to it. Mary will especially embody the pain that’ll come from bearing and, eventually, worshipping this child. These are the shadow songs of Christmas.
The angels announcement is more than just God’s convenient messengers. They are getting a chance to express something we have long known: that even the angels LONG to look into the salvation God is winning for his people. Only the Gospel could bring this kind of joy.
Luke 14:7-24
