Many good things in life come in small packages. The world is transformed by the cellphone in our pockets; while World Cup 2022 was won by the Argentinian team under Lionel Messi, a footballer of below average built. Using highly animated analogy to illustrate the profound spiritual significance of Christ's birth, Rev Soh Guan Kheng at the 2022 Christmas Service, explained how a small baby born in Bethlehem carries the tremendous hope of mankind’s salvation. Christ’s superiority, as confessed in Hebrews 1:1-4, was proclaimed using 3 summary words - Speaker, Substance and Saviour. Unlike prophets of the Old Testament who spoke about God, Jesus Christ is God speaking to us directly. As the exact imprint of His nature, Jesus is, in substance, God Himself. Jesus is also the Saviour who has redeemed us with His precious blood shed on the cross. Finally, before His ascension, Jesus left us two seemingly "small" gifts, i.e. Holy Baptism and the Holy Communion, with the immensely powerful promises of the forgiveness of our sins, the strengthening of our faith and the assurance of His constant divine presence in our lives.
