What is the call of Christmas for believers today?
In this message, we follow a powerful turning point in the Gospel of Luke:
“Jesus set His face to go to Jerusalem.” (Luke 9:51)
This isn’t just a travel detail—it’s the moment Jesus fully embraces His mission. The baby born in Bethlehem came with a deep, unshakable resolve: to go to the cross in obedience to the Father, so our greatest need could be met.
We’ll see how:
• Jesus’ calling in Christmas was the cross
• His resolve was “set like flint” (Isaiah 50)
• Our calling is to fix our eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12:1–2)
• Obedience to the Father fuels faithful love, service, and endurance
• When our eyes are truly on Christ, the rest follows
If you’ve felt distracted, anxious, or spiritually unfocused this holiday season, this sermon brings a simple, life-changing invitation:
Set your face on Christ. Seek Him today.
