Introduction
I know something about every person
Will tell what it is later
Why is Christmas Important?
Show Picture 1
That’s not Christmas
Show Picture 2
This, this happened 200 years ago, why do we care?
Jesus’ Birth was real History
Not a fairy tale.
Show Picture 3
God promised to save his people right after Adam sinned in the garden of Eden.
Isiah prophesied how Jesus would be born, 400 years before it happened.
Why wasn’t Jesus born in a normal way?
Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem because of taxes.
Bethlehem was small and overwhelmed.
The would not have been in a stable, but part of a realities house.
Made of stone and plaster.
Joseph would not have been present while Mary was giving birth.
Some of his relatives would have been midwives from Mary.
They would not have had a lot of privacy after Jesus was born.
There was no drummer boy
The animals were likely outside the building to make room.
Show Picture 4
My son was born in July, picture less than an hour old.
It was not a silent night
i was present at all 3 of my children’s births
Birth is painful, exhausting, messy, and dangerous.
I could say lot more, but i won’t to be polite.
Mary was only a teenager.
Mary & Joseph would not have had much privacy at all.
It happened this way though because Isiah said Jesus would be born in Bethlehem.
This is real history we can study and understand.
So what is so special about this baby?
Jesus died for our sins and rose from the grave
When he grew up, He said this:
And this:
Jesus was the prophesied messiah, He was God come to earth as a man
He proved Everything he said was true by raising himself from the dead.
We have SO much historical evidence of who Jesus was and that fact of the empty tomb, from both Jewish and Roman sources.
The Bible teaches us this:
Why?
Jn
God loved you so much, he let his son die.
Show Picture 4
I’m not giving my own son.
First reason was because Jesus’ Birth was real history.
Second reason is because this Jesus Died for your sins and rose from the grave.
This is very interesting and all, but what if I choose not to believe?
Jesus is coming again
Lets take a look at that prophesy from Isiah about Jesus.
Lord of vast armies?
Kingdom?
Does this sound like what happened?
Jesus was a man from a small mountain town that died the death of a criminal.
The people tried to make him king, but Jesus wouldn't let them.
He was never in control of any government.
All of the dozens prophesies about the messiah were fulfilled by Jesus precisely, even down the exact amount of money he was betrayed for.
The ancient prophecies about the messiah are not done being fulfilled.
Jesus is coming again
First time as a baby, second time as king.
The first time Jesus came with Mercy to offer forgiveness
The second time will be with vengeance to bring justice.
Remember what I said that I know something about you?
This verse tell why:
Every knee will bow, every tongue will confess.
For those who have believed and trusted Jesus, they will kneel in victory.
Because their king has won.
For those who rejected Jesus,
for those who didn’t wan to know
Those who though other things were more important
Who wanted to be king of their own lives
Those who choose not to believe.
They will kneel and admit that Jesus is Lord, and they will knell in defeat.
They will bear the punishment of their own sin for all eternity.
The bible was correct about everything else, It will be right about this too.
What must we do to be saved?
God loved us so much that He did all the work.
We just need to believe in our heart and confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord.
Then we have received God’s beautiful gift.
But this gift will not be available forever.
This is the how the bible ends:
He who testifies about these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”
Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!
Any day could be your last day on earth, you don’t know when you will have your last opportunity to say Yes to Jesus.
Jesus, i know I have done wrong things.
But I believe Jesus is the son of God.
I believe that He paid the price for my sin.
And that He rose again from the grave.
Today I accept your free gift of salvation.
Help me now understand how to live my life for you.
