About this listen

In this powerful Christmas message, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson invites us to reflect deeply on the true cost of the greatest gift ever given: God's only begotten Son. While we often celebrate the birth of Christ with warmth and joy, we must not overlook the immense price paid by God to secure our salvation.

Drawing from John 3:16, Pastor Johnson walks through four essential truths—the cost of the incarnation, expiation, propitiation, and reconciliation. He reminds us that God's love is not sentimental but sacrificial. The incarnation meant that the eternal Son of God took on human weakness, endured temptation, and ultimately died under the wrath of God—not for the righteous, but for sinners and enemies of God. Jesus was born to die, and through His perfect life and substitutionary death, He removed our sins, satisfied God’s justice, and reconciled us to the Father.

This sermon is a sobering yet hope-filled call to consider the depth of God's love and the sufficiency of Christ’s work. Whether you feel distant from God or are seeking peace with Him for the first time, the invitation is clear: believe in Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.
