The Splendor of the King
Luke 2:8-14
December 21, 2025
Dr. Kelly B. Burton

Mystery will always exceed knowledge. God’s plan often leaves us scratching our heads. I mean why would He dispatch His personal angel to break the news of a coming Savior to shepherds? These men were drifters in charge of Bethlehem’s sacrifices. They were at times dishonest troublemakers. They were thought of as unclean for entrance into the synagogue. Isn’t it ironic that at Jesus’s birth and on His cross He is surrounded by sketchy people? I think it is much more than irony. It is the mystery of God and His love for the whole world. “All people” who will recognize their need for a Savior are welcome into God’s Heaven.

Sermon Idea: All people who will recognize their need for a Savior are welcome into God’s Heaven.

These three titles of Jesus underscore the splendor of our King:

Savior: In the Greek and Roman worlds, the word Savior meant a great military leader.

Christ: This title translates Messiah and meant to be recognized as a King.

Lord: This word is used by Luke to convey the Deity of Jesus.
