CAROLS OF THE KING - WHAT CHILD IS THIS? [Part I]

MT. 1:1-2

 

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

I. JESUS CHRIST [Mt. 1:1]

 

1. Jesus - Jehovah Saves- Immanuel [v. 1, 21, Is. 7:14]

 

2. Jesus- the Lord of Battle named "after" Joshua the great General [Psalm 24:8]

 

Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

 

3. Jesus- High Priest and King named after Joshua the Crowned Priest [Zech. 3:1, 8-10; 6:11-13]

-And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.

-Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.

-Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest; And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

 

4. Christ, Messiah, Anointed [Ps. 2, Luke 4:14-21, Isaiah 61:1]

 

The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted , to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
