3 VITAL QUESTIONS IN THE CHRISTMAS STORY (3 OF 3)
3 Vital Questions in the Christmas Story (3 of 3)
Series: Highlights of Christmas
Palitha Jayasooriya
Luke 1:18
INTRODUCTION - When I was much younger, there was a song that used to play on the Radio that I liked very much. It was titled 'There are more questions than answers' sung by Reggae singer Johnny Nash. The song asked a few questions like 'what is life?', 'how do we live?', 'what should we take' and 'how much should we give?'
Questions are very much a part of life and asking questions can help us increase our knowledge. There are many types of questions we ask. For instance, some of you may be asking some very personal questions right now, like, 'Will I get a salary bonus this year?', 'How much will it be?', 'will my medical tests come out all right?' (I had first-hand experience of this the past week as my wife and 2 sons were down with viral fever with one of my sons having to be hospitalized. There was tension with each blood report of his that came in, due to the threat of dengue fever). Similarly, a young person may be asking 'should I propose to her before Christmas?', others may be asking 'wonder what Christmas will be like this year?' and in Sri Lanka, many parents are possibly asking right now, 'how will my child fare at the exam?' (The most important exam for students in Sri Lanka is held in December). Some of you reading this may even be asking, 'Is it worth my time going through this sermon?'!!!
Another extremely humorous song from days gone by comes to my mind right now. It was titled, 'Foolish Questions'. Don't we humans ask them every day!! I remember a day when it was raining heavily in Colombo and drenched to the bone, I found some shelter. A guy who was already there, looking at my drenched clothes asked, 'It's raining isn't it?'!!
PROPOSITION - God has an answer to the questions in your heart today.
In this sermon, I would like to dwell on the following 3 questions asked in the Christmas story by different people, and ...
