One of the greatest hymns for Christmas is Hark the Herald Angels Sing. In this hymn, Charles Wesley reminds us of the heavenly reality of where Jesus comes from, that he is God incarnate for us and that through him, our sin nature can be overcome. This beautiful hymn is the basis of Father Jeremiah’s sermon for the First Sunday of Christmas.

On Christmas Eve, we reflect on the reality of the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. With the birth of Christ, there comes the fulfillment of all of God’s promises to his people in the Old Testament.

Father Jeremiah does something different for this sermon. He has used the Nativity Sermon from St. John Chrysostom, one of the first known Christmas sermons and preached it with some commentary from himself.
St. John Chrysostom was the patriarch of Constantinople from 397 until his death in exile in 407. This sermon was given during his first year of public ministry in 386.
