Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0018A recorded on January 21, 1979 teaching from Luke 2 – Jesus Subjected Himself.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens explores the pattern of obedience in the life of Jesus, moving from His childhood submission in Nazareth to His ultimate sacrifice on the cross. Stevens emphasizes that the voluntary subjugation of the will to earthly parents is a foundational discipline that prepares a person to fulfill their divine calling. Pastor Stevens bridges the biblical narrative with modern family dynamics, urging young people to honor their parents while challenging parents to recognize and release their children toward God’s unique purposes. Ultimately, Stevens illustrates that Christ’s life was defined by a dual fellowship with God and man, demonstrating a brand of love and responsibility that remains tender and personal even in the midst of universal redemption.
