Title: The Miracle of the Message (2)
Series: Miracles of Christmas
Author: Jim Perdue
Text: Hebrews 1:1-2
- Last week, we began a short Christmas series called Miracles of Christmas. If we spent time talking about all of the miracles of Christmas, this would be a very long sermon series. But, for the purposes of this series, we are only looking at three miracles. Last week, we saw The Miracle of the Moment from Galatians 4. Next Sunday, we'll talk about The Miracle of the Manger from John 1. Today, from Hebrews 1:1-2 we'll see The Miracle of the Message.

The birds were too frightened to trust him. In his frustration, he thought, "If only I could become one of them-if I could be a bird-I could show them the way to safety and warmth." At that moment, the church bells rang, and the man suddenly understood. He sank to his knees in the snow as the realization washed over him: this is what God did for us in Christ. Humanity was lost, afraid, and unable to hear God's message. So,God sent His Son, Jesus, to become one of us-to speak our language, to show us the way, and to lead us into the safety of His presence.
