THE B.C. OF THE B.C.

The sermon presents a profound theological reflection on the eternal nature of Christ, emphasizing that His presence predates His incarnation and extends throughout the entire biblical narrative. Drawing from Colossians and John's Gospel, it establishes Christ as the pre-incarnate Word—eternally existing, the creator of all things, and the visible manifestation of God in the Old Testament, known as Christophany. Through key examples such as God's appearance in the Garden of Eden, the angel of the Lord to Hagar and Abraham, the fiery furnace with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and the divine encounters with Jacob and Moses, the sermon illustrates that Christ has been actively redeeming humanity since the beginning. It challenges the common perception of Christmas as merely a historical birth event, reframing it instead as the culmination of God's eternal plan—where the eternal Word became flesh, not as a sudden arrival, but as the fulfillment of a redemptive story already unfolding from Genesis to Revelation. The message concludes with a call to recognize Christ's continual presence, not only in the manger but in every moment of history, and to embrace the fullness of His eternal identity as Alpha and Omega, the light of the world who has always been, and always will be.
