God Unveiled (Breaking Silence)

Luke 2:25-35

On the last Sunday of Advent, we discuss the impact of Christ’s coming.  After more than 400 years of no interaction between God and man, God finally breaks his silence.  This time, it was not a prophet or a king, but the promised Messiah appeared to man in its own form.  The Son of God Himself is sent to us, God incarnate, Immanuel—God with us.  What joy it was for those that had been waiting for Him.  He came to release the burden of the guilty and the longing of the shunned.  Jesus’ birth signaled the tearing of the veil and man finally being reconciled unto God once and for all.
