Saved By Birth

SAVED BY BIRTH – A

Elder Colin G Dawson July 15, 2017

One bible version wrote of Jesus’ birth in this way

( “Now the birth of Christ was on this wise . . . . )

Another said

Mary’s anticipation of the birth of her son—the promised King—grew with each flutter of movement, evidence of the new life inside her.

As her body swelled, she probably imagined what it would be like to give birth to God’s Son.

Mary’s quiet reflection after giving birth to Jesus in a stable suggests that she recognized the incongruity (it lacked human logics and human understanding) of their circumstances ().

The Messiah had been born as a commoner, not a king.

The anticipated ruler had arrived without human fanfare—celebrated by only a few shepherds.

When Mary “treasured up all these words,” she was not merely cherishing a tender moment with her newborn son.

Mary had been given a glimpse into God’s plan—one that involved a lowly teenage peasant girl and a group of poor shepherds.

Her story reminds us that God can accomplish His plans through anyone and anything.

All we can do is prepare to be surprised and resolve to devote ourselves to His plan over our own.[1]

WHY WAS JESUS BORN?

says, she will bring forth a son and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sin.”

also tells us that this babe to be born has come to ‘seek and to save that which was lost” That is to save His people from their sins.

But it was not an accident NOR a coincident Luke recalls Isaiah in CHAPTER 9 verse 23 repeating “Behold a virgin shall be with child, and they shall call His name IMMANUEL, which is translated “God With us”

Isaiah the prophet stated it this way “For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulders: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

(9:6)

Hence “and -speaking of Joseph, he – did not know her until she had brought forth her firstborn Son” and he called His name Jesus.

His name was JESUS because He would save His people.

Many of us only think that it was only at the cross that SALVATION was effected but it began with the at the creation of this world and continued with the birth of our SAVIOR,

Paul said that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin, ().

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

()

And so we see that His blood was shed to save us from the foundation of the world and at Calvary.

But I want to let you know that giving birth also involves the shedding of blood.

Especially so through the shedding of the placenta.

Dr Luke more than all the other gospel writers, wrote extensively about the birth of the Savior.

KATA LOUKAN, according to Luke (read emphasizing vs 4 the CERTAINTY)

So rings out with praise and prayer and thanksgiving that caused those mentioned to be filled with the Holy Spirit from the promise: from the message heard (faith come by hearing and hearing comes by the word of the Lord) from the bible read (the words that I say to you they are spirit and they are life):

And the result?

REVIVAL, REFORMATION, REJUVENATION, RENEWAL and RESTORATION, cause by the birth.

Lets look at a few verses.

(FOLLOW CLOSELY) The pastor Zacharias and the church called Elizabeth (WOMAN , have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.)

were righteous before God and kept ALL His commandments But they had no converts: no child (no babe in Christ) because the church was barren.

VS10 So they began praying outside of the Church.

Daniel speak of the morning and the evening OBLATION (sacrifice in worship).

Genesis puts it in (3:8) Adam heard the VOICE of the Lord waking in the “cool of the day”.

This Spirit of Prophecy says happens twice per day, morning and evening (7am and 7pm on the prayer line)

Vs13 Then a messenger from God appeared and tells Zacharias that his prayers has been answer (was it he alone who was praying?

The whole church was but the prayers were in one accord - united)

This brought joy and gladness – REVIVAL vs 14, and REFORMATION vs16 “turn the hearts of the fathers and the children to God.”

But look at vs 17, he will go before Jesus in the spirit and power of the 2nd Elijah preaching the Present Truth.

To God be the glory.

The SDA church preaching the 3Angels Message of is the last Elijah.

VS 18 But the church had only old people the young people not coming or to church or AY or prayer meeting so they were not winning new believers.

VS21 Laboring for the church in prayer may exceed the set time for prayer

Then Gabriel told pastor Zacharias he will not be able to hear and talk until the prophecies happen because of his unbelief that the church is going to get new believers - babes in Christ.

So we see the birth of John and in order to name him VS 63 say he didn’t send for his phone, he sent for his TABLET.

And after he typed in the baby’s name -John – he could hear and speak again.,

Hence, Zacharias in giving prophecy of the Lord, sang it like praise and wordship.

Lets us read it together, .

What a blessing this child has brought.

WEBMD – Infant Mortality Rate

Nearly seven U.S. babies die out of every 1,000 live births.

More than 28,000 American babies die before their first birthday.

In one way, the U.S. has improved since 1960.

Back then, 26 in 1,000 infants died.

That was good enough to land the U.S. in 12th place.

We've advanced since then, but not as fast as many other nations.

By 1990, the U.S. had fallen to 23rd place.

"The U.S. infant mortality rate is higher than rates in most other developed countries," note CDC researchers Marian F. MacDorman, PhD, and T.J. Mathews.

"The relative position of the United States in comparison to countries with the lowest infant mortality rates appears to be worsening."

Premature birth is a factor in more than two-thirds of infant deaths.

MacDorman and Mathews report the data in the CDC's October 2008 National Center for Health Statistics data brief, "Recent Trends in Infant Mortality in the United States."

Infant Mortality Rates by Country

Here is the complete list of infant mortality rates per 1,000 live births for 2004:

1. Singapore 2.0

2. Hong Kong 2.5

3. Japan 2.8

4. Sweden 3.1

5. Norway 3.2

6. Finland 3.3

7. Spain 3.5

8. Czech Republic 3.7

Research into stem cells grew out of findings by Ernest A. McCullochand James E. Till at the University of Toronto in the 1960s.[2][3]

Un developed developed

Stem cells are undifferentiatedbiological cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and can divide(through mitosis) to produce more stem cells.

They are found in multicellular organisms.

In mammals,

there are two broad types of stem cells: 1.embryonic stem cells, and 2.adult stem cells, which are found in various tissues.

In adult life, stem cells act as a repair system for the body, replenishing adult tissues.

In a developing embryo, stem cells can developed into all the specialized cells—but also maintain the normal turnover of regenerative organs, such as blood, skin, or intestinal tissues.

These types of stem cell are pluripotent, totipotent, unipotent and multipotent, but I know my Jesus is OMNIPOTENT.

“All thing were made made by Him and without Him was not anything made that was made.”

There are three known accessible sources of autologous adult stem cells in humans beings: these are not obtained from the birth experience

1. Bone marrow, which requires extraction by harvesting, that is, drilling into bone .

2. Specific (Adipose) tissue (lipid cells), which requires extraction by liposuction.

3. Blood, which requires extraction through apheresis, wherein blood is drawn from the donor (similar to a blood donation), and passed through a machine that extracts the stem cells and returns other portions of the blood to the donor.

By definition, the auto-type cells are obtained from one's own body, just as one may bank his or her own blood for elective surgical procedures.

Stem cells are also be taken from umbilical cord blood and the placenta just after birth.

Of all stem cell types, the auto-type harvesting involves the least risk.

Embryonic and the auto-type stem cells generated through transfer or dedifferentiation have also been proposed as promising candidates for future therapies.

This is shocker!

This mean that the old cells can be changed into young cells again, Just as when Jesus said “walk in the newness of life” or “We shall be changed.

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.”

To God be the glory We have proof we will be totally restored.
