Text: Matthew 1:18-25

Title: The Messiah come into this world

Intro:

Before the fall God walked amongst His people Adam and Eve. (Gen 3:8) After the fall possibly some 2-3,000 years later He dwelt amongst His people in the Tabernacle/Temple. Then one day God physically dwelt amongst His people in the person of Jesus the Messiah. After Pentecost God dwells amongst His people by means of His people the Spiritual Temple.

It is this Physical dwelling of Jesus amongst His people that our hope is based on, He will save His people by putting them at peace with God and one day usher in a literal millennia of peace of earth.

CPS. We would have a understanding that Jesus is the Messiah the one promised to save His people.

Matthew shoes Jesus as Messiah of the Jews, Luke as savior of the Gentile world tying Him back to Adam.

Being of the Royal Bloodline shows right to be declared Messiah by Blood but One is not only declared king by blood but also by anointing.

Jesus is Messiah by Anointing Luke 3:21-22

Messiah is the term for anointed one of God. Evidence of Jesus be the anointed was at the Baptism of John. He fulfills the three offices of leadership prophet, priest, king. God testifies to this as He says “this IS My Son in whom I am well please”

Second evidence is at the transfiguration Mark 9:7 when God speaks “This is My beloved Son, listen to Him.”

Jesus is Messiah by the resurrection Romans 1:1-4

Jesus is the Promised one of Is. 7:14 he same to make us at peace with God through His Birth, Life, Death, and Resurrection. But one day soon He will come again and bring peace on earth as (Is:9:6) Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. But before you can partake in this Jesus you must partake in Him as the One Messiah born of the Virgin.
