About this listen

We trace Matthew’s genealogy, Isaiah’s promise, and Paul’s proclamation to show how Christmas is God binding Himself to us in real history. From the manger to the cross, we invite you to bring your story—joys, griefs, and doubts—to Emmanuel who redeems from within.

• Matthew’s three-part genealogy and its meaning
• Isaiah’s new names: from forsaken to delight
• Emmanuel as God with us in poverty and obscurity
• Scandal and grace in Jesus’ family line
• The manger pointing toward the cross
• Paul’s witness to promise fulfilled in Christ
• Your story as the place God chooses to enter
• A call to bring wounds and hopes to the manger

Pause at this crèche tonight. Look at that Christ child. Let the light of Christ reach your heart, and then carry that light into your homes, your relationships, your work, your world
