Sermon: Old Testament Christmas

Dec 1, 2021    Rev. Dean M. Davenport

Who are you? Who am I? We are always in danger of forgetting who we are. In spiritual matters, as in the rest of life, we are prone to be forgetful and have a selective memory. I’m suggesting that the day of Thanksgiving helps us to remember, and Moses, from our reading tonight, helps to jog our memories. He reminds us who we are: the Lord’s people, purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ! Remember this by receiving his gifts. Listen to his Word preached. Come soon to this Table to eat and drink the body and blood of your Lord Jesus Christ. Remember who you are by living as one who has been redeemed by Christ the crucified. Remember it with your heads, hands, hearts, ears, and mouths. With such remembrance and thanksgiving, go and pick up the platter, tell your stories, enjoy your families, pass the gravy and the cranberries and enjoy all that the Lord has given you – while remembering who you are in Jesus.
