Christmas with Compassion | Hark The Herald Angels Sing
Dec 21, 2025 • Marcus Johnson
Last week, Pastor Marcus encouraged us to both ponder (think intellectually) and treasure (engage emotionally) the coming of Christ. In this weeks message, Pastor Marcus unpacks the mystery of the incarnation through Charles Wesley's beloved hymn "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing." Drawing from John 1, he reveals how Jesus—the living Word—stepped into our story not just to save us, but to make himself knowable. Through vivid examples from C.S. Lewis to Dorothy Sayers, Pastor Marcus answers the question, "what difference does the incarnation of God make?" By displaying God's choice to dwell among us transforms our understanding of suffering and offers unprecedented comfort.
