“Don’t be afraid! I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.” Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying, “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.” Luke 2:10-14 (NLT)
1. It is a message of fear not.
2. It is a message of Good News.
3. It is a message of great joy:
4. It is a message of benefit to all people: rich, poor, young old, wise, foolish, learned, ignorant.
5. It is a message of salvation.
6. It is a message of Glory to God.
7. It is a message of Peace on earth.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
Romans 5:1 "Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,"
Revelation 22:17 "And the Spirit and the bride say, 'Come.' And let the one who hears say, 'Come.' And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost"'
God has sent His Living Word
Hebrews 1:1-3"Long ago in many ways and at many times God's prophets spoke his message to our ancestors. But now at last, God sent his Son to bring his message to us. God created the universe by his Son, and everything will someday belong to the Son. God's Son has all the brightness of God's own glory and is like him in every way. By his own mighty word, he holds the universe together. After the Son had washed away our sins, he sat down at the right side of the glorious God in heaven." (CEV)
You see, God originally spoke through the prophets
“prophets” as those speaking on behalf of God.
John 14:9 "Jesus answered, "For a long time I have been with you all; yet you do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father." (GNT)
The Transforming Power of the Message!
1 Timothy 2:5-6 "For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity--the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time." (NLT)
Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." (NIV)
He sent His Son to communicate His message in a way that we can understand.
That is the wonder of Christmas.
That is the wonder of the message.
God’s desire for us:
To know him
To love him
To worship him
God sent His Son to bring His message, not a prophet, a Son.
Hebrews 1:3, "The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of His nature, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.”
Jesus said, “The one who has seen Me has seen the Father" (John 14:9). Jesus declares in John 10:30, "I and the Father are one.”
The wonder of Christmas is the wonder of the message.
