MERRY CHRISTMAS!
What a joy to be family on this glorious day as we celebrate the coming and birth of our Savior!
So far as we have focused on the Baby Christ Child… we have looked at and considered:
Our Great God & Savior as the Good Shepherd
We looked at the Dark, Dirty, and Distant sheep that our Good Shepherd came to seek after & find
Today as we come and remember this Christ Child I want us to see & remember our Good Shepherd laid down His life for His sheep as the Precious Lamb of God!
Last night we briefly looked at John the Baptist words as he declared John 1:29
The Lamb
People in Jesus day would have understood well the reference to a lamb…
The lamb would be sacrificed… its blood shed was a temporary covering they needed for their sin
The lamb would be spotless, without blemish
The lamb would come from Bethlehem…
The shepherds cared for and would look for the lamb that would be sacrificed on the day of passover
BETHLEHEM: means house of bread… out of the house of bread would be ONE born the Bread of Life!
The shepherds that night Jesus was born went to Bethlehem to find The Lamb… the one who’s blood would cover mankind's sin
From His birth… Jesus came not only as a shepherd to His sheep… Jesus would come as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
Luke 2:21; Matthew 1:21; Luke 2:25-35
Jesus!
“Yeshuah” Jesus is the Greek form of the name Joshua… Jesus means Yahweh is Salvation!…
SAVIOR!
Of all the names God could have chose for His Son… even his name declares salvation
Behold it’s Jesus… The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
In Him will be found Salvation!
As Jesus is brought to the temple… Simeon declares “I have seen your salvation”… “as promised”!
(fulfilled scripture!)
Micah 5:2 declares Bethlehem as the place “bread of life”
Isaiah 53: 7 declares the Lamb afflicted for you and I
The Psalmist declare His suffering, death, and majesty… The long awaited MESSIAH
Simeon declares this Salvation is for ALL!!!
All nations would see the light of Christ… salvation for Gentiles
The Jews would see the appearing of their promised Messiah!
The words spoken to his parents must have amazed them and caused them to marvel & ponder…
There is a suffering anguish that Mary will feel in her soul
There is a clear statement made that their son Jesus would
Be rejected and suffer
The GIFT of salvation extended by God through His Son
Would be recieved by some and rejected by some
Jesus bringing Salvation as the Lamb of God would extend a GIFT!
A Christmas Gift
No doubt many have already exchanged gifts this Christmas already.
There is a joy in receiving
There is also a joy in giving
Jesus that Christmas night was wrapped in cloths, given from God above to all mankind John 3:16
The GIFT of salvation was a joy for Christ to give Hebrews 12 2
The joy would be that you and I would find life and relationship with Him! 2 Corinthians 5:15
Today as we gather as the family of God we remember God’s plan to come as the Good Shepherd for His sheep and sacrifice Himself so we could revive the GIFT of Salvation Romans 6:23
Given by the “Bread of Life”
Purchased with the “Blood of the Lamb”
Remembering through Communion together as the family of God
