The Christmas Story is Deep and High, Eternal and Timely

{# The tooltip goes through the catalogs so the separator can follow the language - CJK wants a full-width colon and no space, not ": ". #} Christmas 2021 - Part 3

{# justify-center, not justify-around: around gives each item a half-size space at the row ends, which reads as an even spread with three items but leaves two items sitting off-centre. Centring the group keeps the row balanced whatever combination of preacher, date, time and series a sermon has. The lg:px-8 on each item supplies the gap between. #}

Passage

John 1:1-14
{# The description and the sermon's metadata share one grid: the description takes two thirds, the metadata rail takes the last third. Explicit column starts keep the rail on the right even when the description is absent. On small screens the grid collapses to one column and the rail follows the description. The transcription sits outside this grid, below it, so it keeps the full page width - its two-column timestamp/paragraph rows and tall scroll pane need the room. #}

Description

  1. I am grateful that the Christmas stories are deep and high, eternal and timely, thick and light.

  2. I am grateful that the "ultimate" is not a solitary tyrant or an impersonal all/energy/cause, but is the three personal God.

  3. I am grateful that humanity is not an irrelevant accident, but created by the Triune God.

  4. I am grateful that evil is not ultimate - it is doomed.

  5. I am grateful that the true and living God is life and light, love and truth.

  6. I am grateful that God can act, has acted, and will act in history.

  7. I am grateful that He came to deliver me when I was His enemy.

  8. I am grateful that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth.

  9. I am grateful that God's glory was seen first in a manger, and most fully in the crucified one.

  10. I am grateful that He led me to receive Him and that I am now His born again child of grace.

{# No player on the page - either the church is archived or the sermon has no audio. The transcription component still renders, and its rows read `$store.playback` and call `seekAndPlay`, so both have to exist or Alpine throws on every row. #}
