It Is Finished

Week 2 of the Sermon Series: Christmas 2018
Presented on December 16, 2018

In this heartfelt and inspiring message, speaker Matthew McElyea explores the true meaning of Christmas beyond the usual traditions and decorations. He emphasizes the significance of Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem as the fulfillment of prophecy and the beginning of God’s redemptive plan for humanity. Matthew delves deeply into the symbolism of the gifts from the wise men—gold, frankincense, and myrrh—highlighting how they represent Jesus’ kingship and foreshadow His sacrificial death. The sermon powerfully connects the nativity to the ultimate purpose of Christ’s life: His death on the cross for the sins of all people, underscoring the message that “It is finished.” Matthew encourages believers to embrace this profound truth, to share the gospel boldly, and to make room for Christ in their hearts every day, not just during the holidays. This message challenges viewers to reflect on their faith, the importance of Jesus’ sacrifice, and the hope of salvation offered freely to all. Celebrate the greatest gift of all—Jesus Christ—and be inspired to live with purpose and share His love.
