Who is the Child born in Bethlehem? This isn’t just a seasonal curiosity—it’s the most important question you’ll ever answer. In this Christmas sermon, speaker Stefan Johnson uses the beloved hymn “What Child Is This?” as a springboard into a rich exploration of Scripture, focusing on the identity of Jesus Christ.
Pulling from multiple passages in both the Old and New Testaments, including the birth narratives and prophetic foretellings, Stefan unpacks the wonder, majesty, and divinity of Christ. More than a baby in a manger, Jesus is King, Redeemer, Shepherd, Judge, and Savior—each title revealing the layers of God’s love and purpose for humanity.
If you’ve ever sung the words “What Child is This?” without grasping the full weight behind them, this message will help you see Jesus with new eyes—and renew your wonder this Christmas.
