Relationships Renewed
I pray we can grasp the coming of Jesus that allows us to have a renewed relationship with Jesus
God used Caesar Augustus
Jesus is coming as a baby but he is still using the “plans” of men to carry out the will of God.
Scripture prophesies that the Messiah would come from Bethlehem
Bethlehem means “house of bread” the ideal birthplace for the Bread of Life
God Chose Shepherds
God uses Mary
We spoke of this last week
God Chose Shepherds
The first announcement of the Messiah’s birth was given by an angel to some anonymous shepherds.
(Their names are not mentioned)
Why Shepherds?
Why not priests or scribes?
By visiting the shepherds, the angel revealed the grace of God toward mankind.
Expound on this...
Shepherds were outcasts in Israel.
They were ceremonially unclean
Their work kept them away from the temple for weeks at a time so that they could not be made clean.
God does not call the rich and mighty but he calls the poor and the lowly!
Perhaps the shepherds are caring for sheep that would be used to provide sacrifices to God at the temple services.
To some degree, the coming of Jesus meant that their sheep would no longer be needed because of the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.
Luke 2:
I proclaim to you good news that will be for ALL PEOPLE
I proclaim to you good news that will be for ALL PEOPLE
Not just the Jews but this news is for ALL PEOPLE
TODAY A SAVIOR, WHO IS MESSIAH THE LORD WAS BORN IN THE CITY OF DAVID
God chose shepherds
The grace of God to think that God chose you as well.
Luke 2:
Luke 2:15-
The Glory of the Lord
The Glory of the Lord
The Glory of the Lord
In this series of Relationships renewed, we have seen the Glory of the Lord appear to Zachariah, Mary, and now this morning the Shepherds
I have to share this with you this morning
The priest are not able to enter the Lord’s temple because to the Glory of the Lord filled the temple
Their response...
The fired descended and the glory of the Lord came on the temple and they bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground and they worshiped and praised the Lord:
For He is good, for His faithful love endures forever
I marvel at the Glory of the Lord both in the Old Testament and the New
I get why they were afraid when the Glory of the Lord appeared
Ephesians 5:
Now read the verses before this
Relationships Renewed
Ephesians 5:22-
verse 25 Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her
Relationships Renewed get this understand this.
Christ came born of a Virgin not so you can get Christmas gifts, have time with family, get time off from work, but Christ came born of a virgin for the church
Ephesians 5:
The relationship between husband and wife is to reflect the relationship between Christ and the church.
Not what we experience or see in relationships but this should be one that reflects Christ and the church.
Who is the Church?
Is this a building?
1 Corinthians 3:16
1 Corinthians 6:
I marvel at this mystery that I become a dwelling place for God.
When the Glory of the Lord shoed up in 2 Chronicles it was so much that they could not enter the temple and they fell face down and worshiped.
Here scripture tells us that those who believe in Jesus are a temple for God’s dwelling
WOW!
The Church
The Church
Ephesians 2:19-
Relationships Renewed
The Glory of the Lord showed up and they were terrified
God orchestrated all of this for you and I GOOD NEWS FOR ALL PEOPLE
The grace of God is all throughout the coming of Jesus and who he chose to use.
Jesus came because we needed a Savior to Renew our relationship with Creator God
Through Jesus you are the dwelling place of God
Be careful how to talk about the dwelling place and how you treat the dwelling place of God.
