Superheroes. Thanks to comic books and bedtime stories,
our imaginations have been captivated by them since childhood.
We love what distinguishes them from ordinary individuals.
They are capable of feats that normal humans could not do.
They are courageous in the face of great opposition. And
they experience isolation and separation. Something else
superheroes have in common: they're imaginary. As much as
their escapades intrigue us, Hercules, Paul Bunyan, and Superman
never actually existed.
There is someone who is characterized by each of those "superheroic" qualities
- except one. Jesus Christ is not imaginary. He really was
born, and he really did perform supernatural feats (not the
least of which was dying for the sin of all humanity). In
this December sermon series you'll preach on just what makes
this Amazing Emmanuel the timeless hero that he
is. Allow
it to help you penetrate the holiday-decked walls of your
church with a kind of X-ray vision that sees what most find
difficult to focus on - that Christ is the center of Christmas.
As your sermon series unfolds, you can also distribute one December
Devotional Calendar per visitor or church family which
helps your listeners to put into practice what you preach.
