As we all know, *next Saturday is Christmas*.
So today is a very fitting time to *minister on the birth of Christ*.
*I) *It’s *almost 2000 years ago* that *Jesus was born*.
*Jesus birth* was *prophesied approximately 6000 years ago* *to Adam and Eve*.
And *throughout the Old Testament* we have *many prophecies* to the *birth of* the Lord Jesus *Christ*.
*A) **Without the birth of Christ*, there would be *no salvation* for us.
We would be *lost without hope*, and *destined for Hell*.
*1) **Jesus* *had to come* in this world, *born of a virgin*, *so that He would be* that *lamb without blemish* *to pay the price* *for our sins*.
*2) *And *why wasn’t so important* *that Jesus was born from a virgin?*
*a) **First of all Matthew wrote it*, *Luke records it*, *and* *Isaiah prophesied it*.
*b) *Look at *Romans 5:12*.
*(i) **This verse says*, *“All have sinned.”*
*(a) **Why have all sin?* *Because sin was passed upon all men.*
*(b) *And *who was the one that passed sin upon all men?* *Adam*.
*(1) **And all of us have come from Adam* *therefore we all have the Adamic Nature* *or* *the sin nature* *and* *because of that* *spiritual death*.
*c) **Jesus came to pay the price for our sins*, *the righteous for the unrighteous.*
*(i) *Look at *1st Peter 1:18-19*.
*(ii) **Jesus could not come from Adam’s line* *and be without sin* *or as Peter puts it*, *“Without blemish and without spot.”*
*(iii) **God is Jesus father.*
*B) *Turn with me to *PHIL 2:7-8*.
*1) *In the *Strong’s expanded concordance* the words *“Of no reputation”* in this *V **means*, *“Empty or of Christ laid aside equality with or the form of God.”*
*a) **Jesus set aside all of His deity*, *all of His power* *to become a man* *and save us* from our sins.
*II) **Now what would Christmas be* *without reading some of the passages of scripture about the birth of Christ*.
*A) *If Let’s *pick up* the *story* at the *angels last words* to *Mary*.
*LUKE 1:37-45*.
*1) **I just find this so interesting** **that** **Elisabeth was given a revelation* *from the Lord* *and began to prophesy these things*.
*a) **No one told her* that *Mary* was *going to give birth* to the *Savior*.
*B) **Let’s go on reading*.
Jump down to *Luke 2:1-7*.
*1) **This year when you begin to wrap your presence* *let that be a reminder to you* *of* *the Christmas story*.
*Jesus was wrapped in swaddling clothes.*
*a) **I know that there’s so much materialism* *in* this *Christmas* season, *but Jesus is still the reason for the season*.
*(i) **His birth is the reason why we’re here*.
*(ii) **His birth is the reason why we decorate the church.*
*(iii) **It’s the reason why we decorate our homes*.
*(iv) **It’s the reason why we have the celebration today.*
*(v) **It’s the reason why we purchase so many gifts*.
*III) **What does Christmas mean?*
*A) **It means that,*
*1) **He descended that we might ascend*/ (John 6:38, 14:3)./
*2) *
*3) **He became poor that we might become rich*/ (2 Cor 8:9, Jas.
2:5)./
*4) **He was born that we might be born again*/ (John 1:14, 3:2,7)./
*5) **He became a servant that we might become sons*/ (Phil.
2:7; Gal.
4:6, 7)./
*6) **He had no home that we might have a home in heaven*/ (Matt.
8:20; John 14:2)./
*7) **He was hungry that we might be fed*/ (Matt.
4:2; John 6:50)./
*8) **He was thirsty that we might be satisfied*/ (John 19:26)./
*9) **He was stripped that we might be clothed*/ (Matt.
27:28; Gal.
3:27)./
*10) **He was whipped that we might be healed*.
(1 Peter 2:24)
*11) **He was forsaken that we might not be forsaken*/ (Matt 27:26; 28:20)./
*12) **He was sad that we might become glad*/ (Isa 53:3; Phil.
4:4)./
*13) **He was bound that we might go free*/ (Matt 27:2; John 8:32-36)./
*14) **He was made sin that we might be made righteous*/ (2 Cor 5:21)./
*15) **He died that we might live*/ (John 5:24, 25)./
*16) **He came down that we might be caught up*/ (1st Thessalonians 4:16, 17)./
*B) **Jesus came in the “fullness” of time* *to fulfill the work of the God.*
*1) **He came to redeem us from* *sin and spiritual death* *and* *to give us the kingdom of God.*
