The Baby Born To Die | Pastor Chris Kouba

Why was Jesus really born?
This Christmas message looks beyond the manger to the cross and answers one of the most important questions anyone can ask: How do I know if I am saved?

In Hebrews 10:10–18, we discover that Christmas and Easter cannot be separated. The baby born in Bethlehem was born with a clear, eternal purpose—to offer Himself as the once-for-all sacrifice for sin. From the sacrificial system of the Old Testament to Jesus sitting down at the right hand of God, this passage shows us the finished work of Christ and the assurance it brings to believers.

In this message, “The Baby Born to Die,” we explore:

• Trust (Past): Jesus’ sacrifice was complete, sufficient, and final
• Evidence (Present): The Holy Spirit actively working in the life of every believer
• Confidence (Future): God’s promise to finish what He started and keep His people forever

If you’ve ever struggled with doubt, questioned your salvation, or wondered whether your faith is “real enough,” this message offers biblical clarity, gospel hope, and unshakable assurance rooted not in what we do—but in what Christ has already done.

Whether you are a new believer, returning to faith, or seeking confidence in your salvation, this sermon reminds us that Jesus was born to die so that we could truly live.

📖 Key Scriptures:

• Hebrews 10:10–18
• Matthew 1:21
• Isaiah 9:6–7
• John 6:37–39
• John 10:27–28
• Romans 8:38–39
• Philippians 1:6

🎄 This Christmas, discover the true meaning of hope, peace, and assurance—found in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
