Home for Christmas • Amanda Emberley • Ascension Online

Описание: Catch up with the talk from this week's Sunday service, focussing on -.
At our Christmas Eve Midnight Mass service, Amanda talks about how Christmas is about finding a home of love and light, as embodied by Jesus.

1. 00:00 ✨ Christmas is about finding a home of love and light, a theme reflected in Jesus' journey to Bethlehem and echoed in the experiences of young adults traveling home for the holidays.

2. 02:18 ✝ Jesus' birth marked a confrontation between worldly and heavenly power, as the Son of God chose to leave heaven and be born humbly on earth.

3. 04:32 ✝ Jesus came to bring peace on earth by purifying sin and reconciling humans with God, a scandalous act that started with his humble and unconventional birth.

4. 06:47 💔 Young professionals struggle with loneliness and disconnection despite being technologically connected, yearning for a sense of home and belonging.

5. 08:48 ✝ Jesus, fully human and divine, bridges the gap between God and humanity, fulfilling the meaning of Emmanuel.

7. 13:09 ✝ Jesus' journey from suffering to glory shows that God is for humanity, redeeming and exalting us through his sacrifice, becoming human to bear our sins and bring us acceptance.

8. 15:19 ✝ Jesus laid aside his glory to raise us up to glory with him, and our response is to come home to him by saying "yes!"
