The Sign That Is Opposed | Luke 2: 21- 35 | Pastor Joey Zorina

Last week, we saw the angels singing “peace on earth” at the birth of Christ. Yet in the midst of turmoil and conflict in the world, how can we experience peace? Here in our passage, we see that this new born child would be opposed by many in Israel. But why was this new born child opposed from the time of His birth? Luke now takes us from the scene of shepherds “out in the field” to Jerusalem. So from our passage, we’ll see that:- a) Jesus came to fulfill God’s law for us. b) Jesus came to bring true peace to us. c) Jesus came to suffer opposition for us.
