He is here!
Good morning,
I am so happy to see you very few that made it
I know that everyone else is on leave
But that is ok.
What does the Bible say in
Verse, “Where ever two or more are gathered in my name, we still have a church”
So with today being the final weekend before Christmas
I wanted to take a break from our series on 1 John
And go with a story I feel is more appropriate
More seasonal,
Can’t have Christmas without telling the story about the birth of Christ
So how many of you all in here come to my Bible studies?
If you do then
You’re sort of familiar with how academic those can get
And there is a reason why I do it that way
Because it’s the details that truly matter
Its the details where you get the substance of the story
Where you get the meat and potatoes of the story
It’s the details in the story
That help us understand what’s really going on
Because when we just glaze over certain topics
When we don’t take the time to appreciate the tiny details
We miss the moral of the story
We miss the point of the story
One of my favorite examples was in a sermon that I once preached
This particular sermon was on John 4
Or the first person Jesus shared the Gospel with
Real fast, cause I don’t want to take away from the point of today,
But did you realize that in John 4 or
What most call the woman at the well
Jesus is absolutely determined
To share the Gospel with someone no one would have thought of
I mean the lowest of society
The bottom of the barrel so to speak
A Samaritan woman!
I realize most you would say, so what
What does that have to do with anything
Well it’s the details that truly matter
See when you realize that Samaritans were hated by Jews
Considered to be half breads
I mean when I say they were despised by Jews
That’s putting it lightly
When you realize that Samaritans were considered
To be thief’s or criminals
The out cast of society
And the fact that Jesus would even speak with a Samaritan,
Brings something deeper
More profound to our understanding,
Brings emotion to the story
Then when you realize
That Jewish men had such a low view of women
That they actually made poems and songs, thanking God that they weren’t women
And then
When you realize
That adultery not only condemned you
But it actually was a societal death sentence
And then when you consider that the woman Jesus first spoke with
Was in fact a Samaritan, A woman, and an Adulterer
When you realize those specific details
And you look at the heart Jesus had for those of us that are
Rejected,
Cursed,
Considered to be the outcasts of society
I’m telling you when you realize those details,
You Fall in love with Christ
You begin to see his purpose
And his heart
And that’s what I want to do for you all today
I want to bring in a deeper understanding to the story
Maybe give you a few details that will help you truly fall in love with Christmas
Fall in love with our Savior
If you would please open up your Bibles to Luke 2:1-20
You know
When you really think on it
When you really dwell on the facts
The way Christ entered the world
It was something truly special
I mean there is a message here
A message of hope
of acceptance
A message unlike any other
I mean we see the polar opposite of his entrance
Everywhere in society
And really think on this
Because our idea of success
Our idea of a king
Is someone with money
Someone with Power
And we see this every day within our own country
Look at our politicians for example
We hold elections
Each candidate backed by millions
Sometimes billions of Dollars
We look at the average person
And we think there is no way
They could run for office
They don’t have the platform
The money
The influence
