The author of this sermon to a congregation of mostly Jewish Christians is deeply concerned with the temptation to go back to the outward, familiar forms of the Old Covenant and so to forsake the Messiah who was promised before the Old Covenant was made with the physical offspring of Abraham. In this portion of his argument he answers doubts about the supremacy of Christ that arise in the hearts of his audience as they grapple with the crucifixion of the Promised One. The incongruity of the Messiah dying was a tremendous challenge to their faith. As we find ourselves in the midst of the holiday season we too are confronted with the mystery of the human and divine nature united in one Person. This sermon directs our attention to the sober reality of the Incarnation: The Son of God took to Himself a human nature in order to die for all those whom the Father had given Him.Â
