Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0267A recorded on December 14, 1980 teaching from Luke 2:1-20 – Unto You is Born this Day in the City of David a Saviour, Which is Christ the Lord.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens bases this sermon on Luke 2:1-20, focusing on the birth of Jesus. Stevens emphasizes Jesus’s identity as Christ the Lord, the long-awaited Messiah, God incarnate, challenging the notion that Jesus merely brought peace, instead highlighting His role in revealing sin and bringing about salvation. Pastor Stevens also explores the significance of Jesus’s birth from a woman, sanctifying motherhood and womanhood, while rebuking societal misinterpretations of women’s roles. Finally, Stevens contrasts the physical locations associated with Jesus’s life with the ultimate importance of Jesus’s presence in the hearts of believers, urging listeners to accept Jesus as their savior and experience the joy and freedom that come with faith.
