Christmas, the day after.

Christmas and Resurrection Sunday, what are they

for the Christian, they are not holidays, not festivals - they are celebrations of a story

So, what’s it all mean?

Delight

Isaiah 62:3 ESV
You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
Isaiah 62:4 ESV
You shall no more be termed Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate, but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her, and your land Married; for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married.
Isaiah 62:5 ESV
For as a young man marries a young woman, so shall your sons marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.

It goes on...

Psalm 18:19 ESV
He brought me out into a broad place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me.

and on...

Psalm 149:4 ESV
For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation.

You know, there’s more? Much more.

Psalm 149:4 ESV
For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation.

Humble?

Isaiah 66:1 HCSB

Isaiah 66:2 HCSB
My hand made all these things, and so they all came into being. This is the Lord’s declaration. I will look favorably on this kind of person: one who is humble, submissive in spirit, and trembles at My word.
Isaiah 66:3 HCSB
One slaughters an ox, one kills a man; one sacrifices a lamb, one breaks a dog’s neck; one offers a grain offering, one offers pig’s blood; one offers incense, one praises an idol— all these have chosen their ways and delight in their detestable practices.
Isaiah 66:4 HCSB
So I will choose their punishment, and I will bring on them what they dread because I called and no one answered; I spoke and they didn’t hear; they did what was evil in My sight and chose what I didn’t delight in.

Yes

“Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name.
Psalm 91:15 ESV
When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.
Psalm 91:16 ESV
With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

How?

His name is Jesus

John 10:10 ESV
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
Isaiah 42:1 ESV
Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations.

One Way, One Truth, One Life

John 14:6 ESV
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Jesus

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
Hebrews 12:2 ESV
looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
