Christmas with Compassion | Genealogy of Christmas
Dec 1, 2024
Pastor Marcus Johnson emphasizes the significance of Christmas as a turning point in history marked by the birth of Jesus for all of humanity, not just those who are Christian. He explains how the four Gospels present unique perspectives on Jesus' life, landing on Matthew's genealogy that highlights the flawed and marginalized individuals in Jesus' lineage. It is this genealogy which illustrates that Jesus came to offer grace and healing to all, particularly those who recognize their need. Ultimately, Pastor Marcus encourages listeners to embrace the inclusive nature of Jesus' mission and understand that God's grace extends to everyone, regardless of their past.
