THE POWER OF SUBMISSION [A Christmas in July Message]

LUKE 1:22-56

 

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

I. THE SELECTION OF MARY

 

1. A Pure Daughter of David [v. 24-27, Is. 9:6-7]

 

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.

 

2. A Promised Daughter of Destiny [v. 28-33, Gn. 3:15, Is. 7:14, Jeremiah 31:22]

 

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel .

How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.

 

3. A Perceptive Daughter of Dedication [v. 34-38] looking through the eyes of faith

 

II. THE SENSIBILITY OF MARY

 

1. The Momentum of the Submissive [v. 36-45]

 

2. The Moving of the Spirit [v. 40-41]

 

3. The Message of the Saint [v. 42-45]

 

III. THE SONG OF MARY

 

1. The Song of the Saved Sinner [v. 46-47]

 

2. The Song of the Satisfied Servant [v. 48-54]

 

Matthew 10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. …

 

3. The Song of the Sacred Scripture [v. 55-56]

 

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
