Join us for our Boxing Day Family Service.
Join us for our Christmas Day Family Service.
Join us at our carol service, where various members of our congregation take part to celebrate the Christmas story.
Last week Charlie took us through the family tree of Jesus and we saw among other things that Jesus was of the line of King David as the prophets foretold.
Today we look at Matthew’s account of how the birth of Jesus Christ came about and in particular we see Matthew’s emphasis on who this baby was and how this also fulfilled Old Testament prophecies. We see too how the coming of this child is a message of hope for everyone.
The opening paragraph of the Gospel of Matthew, and of the entire New Testament, reveals some striking aspects of the messianic identity of Jesus.
He arrives in the fullness of time, the focus of God's redemptive plans set in motion since the days of Abraham. He is a King, a son of David. But he is a King like no other. His identity is shaped by royal glory and by the shadow of exile's defeat.
