Sermon
The First Christian
Tim Keller | December 21, 2008
Overview
Mary is the first person who hears the name of Jesus, who hears that this great salvation is coming into the world through a baby named Jesus.
Our paradigm is this: the very first Christian, the first person who heard the gospel message in the form we have it now, the first person who received it in faith was a 15-year-old unwed teenage mother.
Let’s look at 1) the message Mary received, 2) how she receives it with healthy dubiousness, and 3) how she receives it with circumspect surrender.
