OH! WHAT A NIGHT OF MIRACLES // Pastor Michael Jackson | St. Luke 2:1-20
🔷🔷 Pastor Jackson teaches that the night Jesus was born was not ordinary—it was a divinely orchestrated moment that changed history forever. Though the setting appeared humble and inconvenient, God was at work fulfilling His promise of salvation.
He emphasizes that God chose to enter the world in obscurity, not royalty, reminding us that God often does His greatest work in places and moments people overlook. The census, the journey to Bethlehem, and the manger were all part of God’s sovereign plan, even when circumstances seemed uncomfortable or unfair.
The sermon highlights the shepherds as key witnesses. They were ordinary people, yet God entrusted them with extraordinary news. Pastor Jackson stresses that God still reveals Himself to those who are willing, available, and attentive—no matter their status.
When the angels proclaimed peace and joy, it signified that Jesus came to bring hope to the fearful, direction to the confused, and salvation to the lost. The shepherds’ response—going to see, spreading the word, and glorifying God—models how believers should respond to God’s revelation: move, testify, and worship.
Pastor Jackson concludes by reminding the congregation that just like that holy night, God still shows up in unexpected seasons of our lives. What may feel like a dark night can become the moment God introduces something life-changing.
Key message:
What looked like an ordinary night became a holy night—because when God steps in, everything changes.
