Lord's Day: Dec 21, 2025  Preacher: <a href="https://www.thorncrowncovenant.church/sermons/preacher/p/19307/carlos-montijo" rel="p-19307">Carlos Montijo</a>  Series: <a id="series-14" class="series" href="https://www.thorncrowncovenant.church/sermons/series/seasoned-with-grace">Seasoned with Grace</a>  Topic: <a href="https://www.thorncrowncovenant.church/sermons/topic/christ" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Christ</a>  Scripture: John 1:1–18; Luke 2:19–20; Romans 12:1; Hebrews 13:15–16; 1 John 2:2; Isaiah 53:5–11; John 1:28–29, 35–37; Matthew 1:18–25; Isaiah 7:14; Luke 2:21–24; Leviticus 12:1–8 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 <ul> <li>Note: A part of the sermon was lost at around 50 minutes of the recording. We restored and merged the recordings that we did have.</li> <li>Jesus is our treasure, our marvel, our wonder, which we ponder in our hearts and bring praise, glory, and honor to Him by our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, offering our entire lives as a living sacrifice unto Him (Luke 2:19-20; Rom. 12).</li> </ul> <h4>I.  The twfold meaning of Christmas: Two big picture, bookend truths</h4> <ul> <li>The Hypostatic Union of Christ and the Gospel</li> </ul> <h4>II. What is the Hypostatic Union?</h4> <ul> <li>Truly God, truly Man: “We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God. Begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made (John 1). For us and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human.” (Nicene Creed)</li> <li>Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man in one Person. The word “hypostatic” comes from the Greek hupostasis (ὑπόστασι&sigmaf;), meaning “substance.” Both natures operate in harmony—without confusion, change, division, or separation.</li> <li>The Chalcedonian Definition</li> <li>God the Son is the subject and Person of the Incarnation, not the human nature of Christ: anhypostasis, enhypostasis.</li> </ul> <h4>III. The Gospel of God’s Propitiation</h4> <ul> <li>Isaiah 53; 1 John 2:2; John 1:28-29, 35-37</li> </ul> <h4>IV. That is the second truth about Christmas—why Jesus was born</h4> <ul> <li>The Virgin Birth: Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 2:21-24, Leviticus 12:1-8</li> </ul> We meet on Sundays for worship at 10:00am: <ul> <li><a href="https://www.thorncrowncovenant.church/">ThornCrown Covenant Baptist Church</a> 4712 Montana Ave El Paso, Texas 79903</li> </ul> Contact us at: <ul> <li>web: <a href="https://www.thorncrowncovenant.church/">ThornCrownCovenant.Church</a> call/text: (915) 843-8088 email: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></li> </ul> Scripture quotations taken from the (LSB®) Legacy Standard Bible®, Copyright © 2021 by The Lockman Foundation.
