Welcome to Christmas Day | Little bit excited to celebrate a Saviour has been born |
Car from Mandurah - Fuel, went forever, like God’s love
Let’s talk about the Incarnation | Jesus, God the Son, becoming Flesh, for Us.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).
God with us | What is the Incarnation? It’s the Holy Spirit, mixing with the Egg of Mary - to birth a Saviour - God the Son, to come down, strip off His royalty, to become Fully God and fully Man…why? Because He loves us. His love doesn’t end
We serve 1 God, 3 persons, God the Son, God the Father, God the Holy Spirit - Imagine conversation between God the father and God the Son, before coming down;
Going to use Scriptural References;
God father, might say to God Son “This is your mission, if you choose to accept it” - Just keep Loving.
This is what it wilL COST YOU.
Select a Woman - Mary - She loves us - Loves our Will - Virgin - Saving herself - She will be your mum - Joseph, will be step dad -
Just so Clear - leave glory of Heaven - to spend 9 months in a womb, before being pushed out into world.
You will be ALL GOD and ALL MAN | Not born in Palace, but in a feeding Troph - Inn Keeper will have no room - Just keep Loving -
You are going for the Sinners, not the righteous.
When born, Satan and all the demons will be intimidated | Herod, before you are 2 is going to try and kill you - Whole family in danger - *Jesus: Take fast donkey* - Just keep loving.
You will have Power Jesus - If you don’t want to take a bath, you can part the bath water and sit on dry tub.
When you get older - First Miracle = Water into wine. You will;
Heal blind eyes
Heal the Lepars
raise people from the dead
And…they are still going to hate you. - Just keep loving
Love those that religion rejects
Love those that made mistakes
Love those that are against you
More you love, the more they will hate.
Love isn’t what we do, it’s who we are.
You will have good friends - Disciples - 12 - They will follow you - Peter, your bestie - Deny you 3 times - That’s going to hurt - but one, Judas - Going to hand you over to be tortured…Just keep loving
You will face some pain Jesus - Sweat drops of Blood from the pain and stress - Jesus, you will need to go to the cross - You will be tortured - beaten, lifted high into the sky with your hands and feet nailed to this wooden torture instrument - In your humanity you will feel it.
Remember Jesus - I will always be with you - until you become Sin and it will feel like I am no longer with you and you will feel alone.
WHen you die - you will be buried in borrowed tomb - you won’t be dead forever - 3 days later, women will come and stone will be moved and so will you!
You will raise from the dead. and give your disciples hope , and give them this instruction;
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
You will be with them. Then, even after your resurrection, people will celebrate for years to come-they still may not turn - Just keep loving- but you will be back here, with me.
Jesus - Do you want to go?? are you sure? You know what will happen.
Jesus said yes - why? Because we love them.
We need to show them our Love...
What is your misssion
I will go to bring LIFE and FORGIVENESS and FREEDOM.
Who are you going for;
The sinners, the sick.
Why?
They are lost sheep without a shepared, and I am the good shepard.
I will love them forever, I will be here, stretching out my hand, for all eternity.
Jesus could of shouted his love from Heaven, but he showed us his love on Earth. He just kept loving, in the hope, we would turn to him.
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).
This Christmas, make that spot in your heart bigger. - Jesus is the reason for the Season, he came to save, to provide forgiveness, and to give us freedom - because God loves you more than you can imagine
the Lord appeared to him from far away.
I have loved you with an everlasting love;
therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.
He Came, to give grace, to give everlasting love and to give LIFE.
