Sermon Tone Analysis

The Greatest Preparation

James 12

ISA 9:6-7

Word blah blah

Matt 1:20-

God too great care in preparing this gift of salvation.

Over thousands of years he would give clues, and descriptions that would eventually lead us to the manger in Bethlehem and later on to the cross.

He has taken more care and preparation for the gift of his son then any other gift given

The Greatest Consideration

The Greatest Consideration

Rom 5:6-

His name is Emmanuel, God with us: not only God from before all worlds, but God with us in our nature.

The Word was made flesh: Jesus was born at Bethlehem, and there he was nursed at the breast of a woman.

He lived among our race, bearing our infirmities, and tempted in all points like as we are, though without sin.

No gift has been more thought through than the gift of Jesus Christ to mankind.

God look our our deepest need, desires, and longings.

The need and desire to be free, saved from sin.

He brought a give that would last more that 2 weeks, his gift will last eternally.

God could not have possibly put more consideration into his gift to you.

He thought of it all, and his gift is the only that brings lasting freedom, joy, and meaning.

The Greatest Price

God deigned to be made man, to suffer, be crucified, and die for this purpose: that by His passion, cross, and death, He might show you how much He loved you, for whom He toiled and endured so much.

Be not then ungrateful, nor unmindful of all those things, which the Lord Jesus did on earth.

But carefully consider the mighty works of God, liberally wrought in favor of the whole human race.

Many of us will spend much this Christmas, but none of us will find a gift of more value than the gift God gave us when he sent his son.

This was the most costly gift ever give, his life in place of ours, our sins in exchange for his righteousness.

There is no greater price one can pay than to pay with their life, there is no gift greater than a father giving his son.

Jesus Christ did not come into the world to help you to forget your sin.

He has not come to furnish you with a cloak with which to cover it.

He has not appeared that He may so strengthen your minds (as some men would have you believe) that you may learn to laugh at your iniquities, and defy the consequences thereof.

For no such reason has the Son of God descended from Heaven to earth.

He has come, not to lull you into a false peace, not to whisper consolation which would turn out to be delusive in the end, but to give you a real deliverance from sin by putting it away, and so to bring you a true peace in which you may safely rejoice.

Be not then ungrateful, nor unmindful of all those things, which the Lord Jesus did on earth.

But carefully consider the mighty works of God, liberally wrought in favor of the whole human race.

THOMAS À KEMPIS (CA.

1380–1471)

This divine present comes to us in three packages, his birth, his death and his resurrection.

All of these make up the free gift of salvation that is free for those who would come to him and except it
