3 Ways God Speaks At Christmas Time
Palitha Jayasooriya
Luke 2:10-11
Introduction
I remember an occasion when I was battling what seemed like a huge crisis in my life. It was causing me much anxiety and sleepless nights. In the midst of this battle, a gentleman who was a very shy and quiet person, spoke out a prophetic word at one of our Sunday evening services. The message he shared that evening under the Holy Spirit's anointing was exactly what I needed to hear for the situation I was in. As I received God's assurance through this brother's words, God began to work in my crisis and everything changed within a couple of weeks!!
If ever we needed to hear from God, it is now. The good news is that God still speaks to His people in different ways and this is very evident in the Christmas story.
Proposition : God waits to speak to you at Christmas time.
In this sermon I would like to share 3 ways in which God spoke in the Christmas story and its relevance for us today. They are:
1. He Spoke in the Daily Routine
''Do not be afraid. I bring you good news....Today ...a Savior has been born to you;... '' (Luke 2:10-11).
Between the Old and New Testaments, God had been silent for over 400 years but at the appointed time, at the birth of Christ, He began to speak. In Luke 2:10-14, an Angel of the Lord appeared to a group of shepherds who were in their daily workplace at night-time. He gave them a message that would change the course of history forever. As the Angel spoke about the birth of the Messiah, a great heavenly choir began a song of praise and the sky shone with the glory of God; probably like an amazing celestial fireworks display. It was the experience of a lifetime for those humble shepherds! (Just imagine the disappointment if one of the shepherds had not turned up for work that day!)
Similarly, God still speaks to His people, and often, like with the shepherds, He speaks in our daily routine. Too many times, we expect God to speak ...
