The Christmas story never grows old.
It is fresh every year.
It is not a holiday—it’s a holy day.
Without Christ, there would be no Christmas.
Every Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ
It’s easy to be so busy we crowd Christ out of our Christmas - Celebrating the season and not the reason.
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach):
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

THE SIGN—v. 12
Jesus is born in a stable among the animals.
1. Jesus was born in a humble place—in a manger, among the cows and donkeys.
2. Jesus lived humbly—He had no permanent home.
3. Jesus died a humble death—upon a cross.
4. Jesus was buried in a humble way—in a borrowed tomb.

WHY JESUS CAME?
Introduction. The Incarnation of the Eternal Son, involving the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, was a plan conceived in the mind of the infinite before the dawn of creation.
HE CAME!
I. NOT TO REFORM, BUT TO TRANSFORM
1. Reformation is very fine in its place, but is not sufficient … That is not our need …
1. Definition of reform …
(a) To make better or return to a former good state …
(b) To amend—correct …
2. Definition of transform ..... Rom 12:2
(a) metamorphoo (Grk) - to change into another form.
4. Transforms the soul now—the body in eternity …
II. NOT TO REPAIR, BUT TO REPLACE
Like repairing an old automobile or house … It is still the same—just patched up with a new coat of paint …

(a) A new heart …
(b) New attitudes …

WHY JESUS CAME?
III. NOT TO SAVE US FROM WRONG-DOING, BUT TO SAVE US FROM WRONG-BEING
1. We are by nature children of Satan …
2. By birth, sinners …
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.
ps51
3. We do wrong because we are wrong …
4. We are by nature the “children of wrath”
2 if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you,
3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

5. Without Christ you are the “living dead” … Alive in the flesh—dead spiritually …
IV. HE CAME TO BRING LIFE
HE CAME TO BRING LIFE
1. Natural men are dead in trespasses and sins …
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
3. He brought life by overcoming death …
Physical life is in the blood of your veins …
Spiritual life is in the blood of Christ …
V. HE CAME TO DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER
1. The Father’s will is that men should be saved …
2. That the Son should keep them without losing even one …
3. That He should raise them up again at the last day …
Conclusion. Jesus came to give you life—He is coming to receive you.

Christ is Born
2 And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. 3 So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. 6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
The Angels Announce Jesus to the Shepherds
8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
14 “Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. 17 Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. 18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.

THREE CARDINAL GIFT OF GOD
Mary: Devoted to God’s Plan Setting the Stage
So far, Luke has presented Mary and Elizabeth’s stories side by side. Their experiences were parallel: Each woman learned of her pregnancy from Gabriel, each was informed that her son would be great, and each was given instructions for naming her son. But the two women shared no common ground in their birth stories. Elizabeth gave birth to John surrounded by family and neighbors, who celebrated John’s arrival with her (see Luke 1:57–58). Mary experienced a less traditional delivery.
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. 6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Mary: Devoted to God’s Plan A Closer Look
Contemporary people have to make a huge imaginative leap to put themselves in Mary’s place. As the second chapter of Luke opens, nearly six months have passed since Mary left Elizabeth (Luke 1:56), and Jesus’ birth is imminent. Today doctors advise pregnant women to avoid any rigorous travel during their third trimester. This is apparently not the case for Mary, as she and Joseph set out on the long journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem to register, despite Mary’s rapidly approaching due date.

9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son. 10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son.
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.
9 We believe men who witness in our courts, and so surely we can believe whatever God declares. And God declares that Jesus is his Son.
10 All who believe this know in their hearts that it is true. If anyone doesn’t believe this, he is actually calling God a liar because he doesn’t believe what God has said about his Son.

ALTAR CALL!
Easton’s Bible Dictionary Betroth
BETROTH—to promise “by one’s truth.” Men and women were betrothed when they were engaged to be married. This usually took place a year or more before marriage. From the time of betrothal the woman was regarded as the lawful wife of the man to whom she was betrothed (Deut. 28:30; Judg. 14:2, 8; Matt. 1:18–21). The term is figuratively employed of the spiritual connection between God and his people (Hos. 2:19, 20).

Sermon Outlines for Special Occasions Why Christ Came
WHY CHRIST CAME
Text: Matthew 1:21
Read: vv. 18–25
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”
INTRODUCTION: There have been great arguments for and against the virgin birth of Christ; there have been many articles written on the nature of swaddling cloth in which Jesus was wrapped; many word pictures have been drawn of the manger in which Jesus was laid; there have been thousands of sermons preached concerning the inn at Bethlehem which had “no room” for the infant Jesus. None of these things, however, are as important as the question: Why did Jesus come?
ONLY THE BIBLE CAN ANSWER WITH AUTHORITY. FIRST—
1. He came “to save his people from their sins,” Matt 1:21
2. “I am not come to destroy … but … fulfill,” Matt. 5:17.
3. “I am come a light into the world,” John 12:46.
4. “I am come that they might have life,” John 10:10.
5. “I am not come to call the righteous,” Matt. 9:13.
6. “I am come not to send peace on … earth,” Matt. 10:34.
7. “For judgment I am come into the world,” John 9:39.
8. “I am come to set a man at variance,” Matt. 10:35.
9. “I am a king … to this end was I born,” John 18:37.
10. “I came … not to do mine own will,” John 6:38.
BEFORE WE CAN BENEFIT FROM CHRIST’S COMING, WE MUST, LIKE THE “WISE MEN,” COME TO CHRIST, FOR HE INVITES ALL!
1. “Come unto me, all ye … heavy laden,” Matt. 11:28.
2. “Him that cometh to me I shall in no wise cast out,” John 6:37.
3. “Come; for all things are now ready,” Luke 14:17.
4. “The Spirit and the bride say, Come,” Rev. 22:17.
5. “He is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him,” Heb. 7:25.
The Christmas story concerns more than pious sentiments about a star in the East, a babe in a manger, and frightened shepherds on Bethelem’s hillside. Rather, what have we done about the Christ of the cross?

HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY A GREAT GIFT?
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
1. THE REQUIREMENT
16 For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
17 God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.
18 “There is no eternal doom awaiting those who trust him to save them. But those who don’t trust him have already been tried and condemned for not believing in the only Son of God.
19 Their sentence is based on this fact: that the Light from heaven came into the world, but they loved the darkness more than the Light, for their deeds were evil.
20 They hated the heavenly Light because they wanted to sin in the darkness. They stayed away from that Light for fear their sins would be exposed and they would be punished.
21 But those doing right come gladly to the Light to let everyone see that they are doing what God wants them to.”

GIFT FROM GOD
6 “I, the Lord, have called You in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the Gentiles,
4 Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people, A leader and commander for the people.

3:18 the one who does not believe Rejection of Jesus results in condemnation. The nt ultimately roots all salvation in faith in Christ (e.g., ; , ). There is no other way to achieve right standing with God.
3:19 the light The dualism between light and dark is a common theme in John’s Gospel and 1 John. See note on .
evil In this context, “evil” refers to deeds that flow from unbelief. Anything done apart from faith in Christ is no better than the worst evil. See note on v. 18
3:2 at night Indicates Nicodemus came to speak with Jesus privately and secretly. He may have feared being publicly associated with Jesus.
The added detail that Nicodemus’ visit was “at night” may attest to the accuracy of the evangelist’s account, but in John’s Gospel, a more symbolic meaning is likely. Darkness is associated with spiritual blindness in John (; ; ).
