Life of Christ (8)
  1. Christians don’t need a bucket list. We’ve got the whole bucket: the Word fulfilled, life fulfilled, and life in full.
  2. Be relieved, whatever has had you anxious. He is with us and about his Father’s business, which is your salvation.
  3. Jesus rests in a manger in the days to come, but don’t be fooled.
  4. Caesar boasted: “I came. I saw. I conquered.” Christ can rightly say: “I came. I saved. I ascended.”
  5. Human history, our history, is the story of two Adams with two very different encounters with the devil.
  6. Moses was sent to keep the house in order, but this Child is sent to bring the house home, and you are part of that house, the household of God.
  7. Christ has come, does come, and will come. He has set you free from the prison of sin and death.
  8. Who was this Jesus, who could do such things?
