"Behold He Comes"

This powerful message invites us to lift our eyes beyond the manger and behold the complete story of Christ—from His humble birth to His glorious return. Drawing from Revelation 1:7, we're challenged to see Christmas not merely as a moment in history, but as God's declaration of where all history is headed. The sermon walks us through three profound revelations: how Christ came in humility, who He truly is as the Christ and Lord, and where history is ultimately going. We're reminded that the same Jesus who wore swaddling clothes and was laid in a manger is now clothed with sovereignty as King of kings and Lord of lords. The clouds mentioned in Revelation speak of God's presence and glory—this is no longer the suffering Savior, but the reigning King. What makes this particularly urgent is the reality that every person will confront Him, either here in grace or there in judgment. History isn't drifting aimlessly; it's directed toward His return. Between the cradle and the crown, between grace offered and glory revealed, we live in a space of decision. This Christmas season calls us not just to admire a baby, but to acknowledge Him as Lord and prepare for His imminent return.
