Sermon: "Christmas is the Cure," December 24, 2017
Fourth Sunday in Advent
Rev. Ryan Slifka
“ Now to God who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages but is now disclosed, and through the prophetic writings is made known to all the Gentiles, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith— to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory for ever! Amen.”
*The interpretation of Paul's use of "mysterion" as reference to the divine-human union in Jesus is from Thomas F. Torrance, The Incarnation: the Person and Work of Christ, IVP Academic, 164.
