Who do you want Jesus to be? Of course, who you want Jesus to be, is quite different than who he really is. Yet it is a common temptation for us to want to tell Jesus who he is supposed to be. Or what he is supposed to do for us, or for our life. Mark, however, has been presenting us with the Biblical Jesus.
Throughout the book, Mark has been asking the question, “Who is Jesus?” And so as we look at this climactic passage in the book of Mark, I want to remind us of this question Mark has been asking. I want us to look again today at who Jesus is. I want us to look again at what it means for him to be the Christ and what it means for him to be the Son of God. It’s quite fitting that Mark drives home this message with the story of the cross.
Passage: Mark 15:33-41

This year for our Christmas sermon I want us to reflect on the genealogy of Jesus Christ. When we look at the Bible, we see lots of genealogies throughout. And that is fitting. Right from the fall of mankind God had made a promise to Adam and Eve. God promised that the seed of the woman would one day crush the seed of the serpent. That meant humanity had to be on the lookout for the promised child. Family trees were then recorded. Genealogies passed down. But for generation after generation, the promised seed still hadn’t come. And then we find God renewing that promise along the way through other men as well. And so the records kept building until one day they found their fulfillment in Jesus.
