Sermon Summary





The Birth of Jesus Christ

(Is9:6; Mt1:18-23)



God is the holy King.

His essence is holy, and

He triumphs and rules with life.



Faith is recognizing and welcoming Him, and

The life of this faith is willingly laying down one's treasures before His feet and worshipping Him, and testifying His name.



While there has never been a time without war, whether small or big,

The kings with the superior strategy and valor have changed history.

With the development of the human civilization came that of weapons,

As the fight for supremacy has never ceased.



Though religions imagine the transcendent being and force men to bow before him,

God, unlike religions and the kings of the world, reigns as

Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace (Is9:6).



The Old Testament records the prophecies regarding Him that:

The virgin will give birth to a son (Is7:14), and

The government will be on His shoulders (Is9:6).



When it was time, Jesus Christ was born (Mt1:18), and

He was different since His birth because:

1)     His essence is holy ” through the Holy Spirit the Word became flesh, conceived in a virgin and born the Son of God (Lk1:25, 34-38; Jn1:1, 14);

2)     He came to fulfill the prophecies ” what the Lord had said through the prophets before His birth (Ge3:15; Mt1:22-23);

3)     His name ” He came with the name of God since before the creation (Mt1:21; Jn17:11);

4)     Salvation ” He set men free from the law of sin and death (Mt20:28; Rm8:2);

5)     Enemy ” He condemned the prince of the world, the ruler of death, the devil (Jn14:31; He2:14-15; 1Jn3:8);

6)     Weapon ” He did not harm anyone but rather put to death His own body (Jn10:17-18; He2:14);

7)     Victory ” He overcame by the power of resurrection (Jn10:18; 1Co15:54-57); and

8)     His kingdom ” the kingdom over which Jesus reigns as Christ is the kingdom of life and love (Ac3:15; Col1:13; Rev11:15, 22:1).



He who received the testimony of the name Yeshua by the Holy Spirit (Ac1:8)

Sincerely welcomes the birth of Jesus Christ,

Willingly kneels before His name and worships Him, and

Lays his own treasure before Him, for

While countless babies were born in the history of mankind

The birth of one baby is the most shocking event in history and

It is the moment his own life turns upside down.



O Lord,

If that one baby was not born at that time,

If His birth was no different from others',

It would have meant complete despair!

Yeshua, my King!

I sincerely welcome Your birth!

I kneel before Your name today and

I long for the coming of Your kingdom in that day!

Amen.
