THE CHARACTERS OF CHRISTMAS: the Audience (a sermon to be preached on Dec. 27, 2015, at Kenwood Church in Livonia, MI)

Joseph, Mary and Jesus are the primary characters in the Christmas story, but they are not the only characters.  There are angels, shepherds, and a whole host of other people.  The last character that I will be talking about on Sunday will be the audience (you and me).

The Christmas narrative presses the listener toward faith.  This incredible demands a response.  This little baby was born the king of the Jews.  He was the son of God.  Jesus was the messiah.  This story demands a decision.

Either you believe that he is who the Scriptures say or you don't.  What will you do with the Christ child?
