You Couldn’t Make It Up: Sermon Preached on 25th December 2024 (Christmas Day)

25 December 2024 by Gerry Lynch

This image is divided into two distinct sections, each with its own unique scene. On the left side, we see a group of cherubic figures, likely representing angels, nestled among clouds. Their expressions are serene and contemplative, and their small wings are visible. The clouds they are nestled in are soft and fluffy, giving a sense of heavenly tranquility. On the right side, the scene shifts to an earthly setting. Two figures, possibly shepherds or wise men, are depicted in the foreground. One of them is holding a staff, and both are dressed in simple, rustic clothing, suggesting a pastoral or rural life. Behind them, a landscape unfolds with trees and a bright star or celestial light shining above, indicating an event of significance, likely the Star of Bethlehem. The overall composition bridges the divine and the earthly, with the angelic figures on one side and the human figures on the other, symbolizing a connection between heaven and earth. The use of light and color highlights this symbolic link, with the divine light from the right side contrasting with the ethereal clouds on the left.

Imagine an obviously pregnant woman walked into your local and said she was still a virgin – she’d just been overshadowed by the Holy Spirit.
