这段信息的核心是关于耶稣基督的神性以及这一真理如何彻底改变信徒的生活。讲员详细阐述了哥林多前书1:15-20中关于耶稣基督是神、是创造主、是神性的完全体现的经文。他强调，耶稣基督并非仅仅是一位伟大的老师或先知，而是神自己，道成肉身，经历了死亡。这一事实应该导致信徒生活的三个转变：首先是重整，即在生活中将至高无上的地位给予耶稣基督，放弃任何与之冲突的价值观或行为模式。其次是放弃，即放弃舒适和安全，参与耶稣基督的救赎使命，甘愿为福音受苦。最后是喜乐，即在放弃和受苦中，体验到与神亲密相交的喜乐，这远胜于任何世俗的损失或痛苦。讲员用丰富的比喻和生活事例，深入浅出地解释了这些概念，并鼓励听众过一种以耶稣基督为中心，充满冒险精神和喜乐的生活。

Shownotes Transcript

If the baby in the manger was God—not just a guru, not just a supernatural being, not just the first created thing, not just a hologram, but God himself—it should make a difference in our lives.

Christmas is about the incarnation: God becoming human. And Colossians 1 is a roller coaster ride through the doctrine of the incarnation. There are hairpin turns: Jesus was God, and though he was God, he was dead. But let’s look at what this means to us. 

If that baby was God, it should make three differences in our lives: it should lead to 1) a reordering, 2) a relinquishment, and 3) a rejoicing.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 17, 1995. Series: Advent: God and Sinners Reconciled. Scripture: Colossians 1:15-20.
