The sermon, rooted in Luke 2:8–15, presents a powerful vision of Christian hope and mission centered on the Advent theme of 'Relentless Light,' challenging believers to embrace a dangerous, jealous love that is both tender and fierce. It argues that the true offense of Christianity lies not in violence but in the claim that Jesus Christ is the ultimate King, a truth that threatens the world's self-reliance and moral autonomy, provoking fear and even hostility. Drawing on the image of shepherds—lowly yet protective, gentle yet formidable—the sermon emphasizes that the church's role is to embody Christ's redemptive power by courageously confronting falsehoods, especially those that harm the vulnerable, such as distorted views of sexuality and gender taught in schools. This 'dangerous love' is not violent but is rooted in the gospel's unflinching truth: all are sinners deserving judgment, yet Christ has died to redeem them, making the proclamation of His lordship both urgent and life-giving. The church's greatest weapon is not force but the Word of God, which exposes lies and draws people to repentance and faith, ultimately preparing them for the day when Christ returns to destroy evil and establish eternal peace.
