The Christmas series "The Manger and the Throne" explores the profound mystery of the incarnation, emphasizing how Jesus, the King, came as a baby in a manger to fulfill Old Testament prophecies and offer hope. Central to this message is the concept of hope symbolized by the Prophecy Candle, which reflects God's promises of a coming Savior. The sermon draws on John 1:1–3 and 14–18, highlighting that the Word, who is both God and with God, became flesh to bridge the gap between humanity and the divine. This act of God’s gracious descent illustrates His intimate involvement in human life, inviting believers to engage deeply in their relationships with God and others. Ultimately, the incarnation serves as God's ultimate love letter, revealing His desire for a close relationship with humanity and calling Christians to embody grace and mercy in their lives.
