Series: Who Is Jesus #5

Pastor Mike Ellis
Introduction
Over the last few weeks we have been considering Who is Jesus Christ.
- We have considered this idea through the names that were given to Him in the book of Isaiah, specifically in the 9:6.
- We have seen Christ as the Wonderful Counselor and our own need for His wonderful counsel.
Remember that the word wonderful means something that is uncommon and often difficult to explain.
While counsel is that of distinguishing between things and advising in the proposal of a plan of action.
is a great example this.
-We looked at Jesus as Mighty God and His great authority over all things, because He is the creator of all things.
-We coupled this with the idea of our faith never being wasted when it is placed in such a Mighty God.
- says
-We looked at Jesus as being the Eternal Father.
- Which is better described as the Father of eternity, considering once again that He is the creator of all things including time.
- We looked at this idea through the lens of what a good father is and how in Christ, we are loved for eternity.
- In we see the way God loves the world.
-Last week we wrapped up the names given to Christ in with a look at Christ being the Prince of Peace.
He is the true source of all real peace that is given because He alone made peace.
says
Today we are going conclude our “Who is Jesus” series.
Today’s conclusion will center around the birth of the Messiah
- After all it is Christmas Eve and that is what we are to celebrate this time of year.
After all it is Christmas Eve and that is what we are to celebrate this time of year.
Second we will discuss the government being on His shoulders.
What I want you to take away from this sermon is that Jesus Christ was born for you.
This is one of those facts that really helped with believing in my early years as a Christian.
Jesus Christ’s birth is prophesied in the OT
As mentioned through out this series, the book of Isaiah was written about 700 years before Christ was born.
This is one of those facts that really helped with believing in my early years as a Christian.
The book of Isaiah has multiple references to Christ or the Messiah which are one in the same.
In , , , and all of we find a few key prophecies.
We can also find prophecy in referring to the place in which the Messiah would be born.
Some of the prophecies that refer to His birth are and which we are familiar with.
Concerning 7:14
The prophecy of a virgin’s son
This idea of being born of a virgin is key to what we believe.
We will discuss this further later in the sermon.
Immanuel means God with us.
The prophecy concerning his birthplace
“Bethlehem Ephrathah” is the village where David grew up (“the town of David”).
Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin
See also ;
The importance of the Virgin birth.
It is foundational in our faith
It is this kind of birth that allows Christ to be the perfect sacrifice
If Jesus was born of a man then He would be no different then us.
We would have nothing to hope for.
Jesus Christ’s incarnation
This is what God did for you.
This is how He chose to love you.
