This sermon traces the promise of Christ from creation to incarnation, showing God’s unified plan of redemption. Beginning in Genesis, it reveals how the Spirit, Word, and Light foreshadow Christ’s coming as a new creation. Humanity’s failure under Adam creates the need for a Redeemer-King, promised through the seed of the woman. Further promises are given to Abraham and David, but every potential candidate for this Redeemer-King fails, falling into sin and rebellion. The conundrum is resolved in the incarnation: God Himself becomes man. In Jesus Christ, all promises converge. Emmanuel – God with us – defeats sin, restores true kingship, and establishes an everlasting kingdom.
