Our Christmas celebration continues throughout the Twelve Days of the Christmas Season. Jesus Christ is the Savior whom God promised and whom the Old Testament prophets foretold. Today we rejoice that God has kept his promise and sent his Son to be our Savior and Redeemer, becoming true man and living under the Law to fulfill our obligations. Our sermon examines how the coming of Jesus to live on earth and redeem us from our sins gives us a reason to be optimistic about the new year!
