Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0266A recorded on December 14, 1980 teaching from Luke 2:1-20 – Unto You A Saviour, Christ the Lord.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens uses Luke 2 and Matthew 2 to explore the multifaceted announcement of Jesus’ birth. Stevens emphasizes that God’s gift of Jesus was revealed not only to angels and the wise men, but also to the poor shepherds, the leaders of Jerusalem, and even children and the elderly. He argues that genuine Christmas celebration transcends materialistic expressions; true understanding of God’s love, freely given through Christ, fosters peace and goodwill as a natural consequence. Pastor Stevens concludes with a fervent prayer for Christ’s second coming, highlighting the anticipation of all creation for His return.
