The Mystery of Christmas | 1 Timothy 3:16

What if the greatest Christmas gift wasn’t the one you expected—but the one you needed most?

In this message, The Mystery of Christmas, we explore what the Apostle Paul calls the “great mystery of godliness”—that God was manifested in the flesh. Christmas is not sentimental nostalgia; it is the staggering reality of the incarnation: God becoming man without ceasing to be God.

From a childhood Christmas surprise that became legendary, to Mary’s honest question, to Paul’s awe-filled confession, this sermon walks us through the Mega Mysterion at the heart of the Christian faith:

Truly God

Truly Man

One Person

Two Natures

Why does this matter?

Because if Christ is not fully God, He cannot redeem.

Because if Christ is not fully man, He cannot relate.

And because only the God-Man can restore what was lost.

This message addresses the intellectual tension, the biblical paradox, and the personal hope of Christmas—showing us that Jesus is not only able to save, but able to sympathize. He is not a distant redeemer, but a relatable one.

If you’ve ever wondered:

How can these things be?

Can God really understand my pain?

Is there anyone who can stand between God and man?

This message is for you.
