THE TRUTH OF CHRISTMAS

MATTHEW 2:1-2, 9-12                                                   

 

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

Have we gotten something backward? Have we missed something? When it is your birthday who gets the presents?

Who gets the recognition? Pardon me- but who gets the glory?

 

I. CHRISTMAS IS JESUS’ BIRTHDAY. HE IS THE SACRIFICE. GIVE HIM YOUR SINS.

 

Myrrh. Is. 7:14, 9:6-7, 53:1ff Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

 

II. CHRISTMAS IS JESUS’ BIRTHDAY. HE IS THE KING. GIVE HIM YOUR SERVICE.

 

Gold. Rm. 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

 

III. CHRISTMAS IS JESUS’ BIRTHDAY. HE IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD. GIVE HIM YOUR SELF.

 

Frankincense. Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
