FIRST SUNDAY AFTER CHRISTMAS
Sunday, December 27, 2020 at 11:00am
Virtual Worship
Old Testament Reading: Isaiah 61:10–62:3 (Nations will
acknowledge the Chosen One of the Lord.)
Epistle Reading: Galatians 4:4–7 (At the right time, God sent
His Son into the world.)
Holy Gospel: Luke 2:22–40 (Jesus is presented in the temple by
Mary and Joseph.)
Christmas Greetings! The Epistle for the First Sunday after
Christmas brings a one-
sentence summary of the Christmas message as Paul writes it to
the Christians of
Galatia. “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth
His Son”
(Galatians 4:4). God knew the exact right time for His beloved
Son to come to earth,
this sin-filled world. God had a plan for salvation that was
carried out faithfully and
completely by Jesus. In the days after Christmas, we have the
opportunity to reflect
on the importance of the Christmas message. We have received the
greatest of all
gifts. Through Jesus Christ, we are heirs of God and have an
eternal inheritance!
