You're listening to a message to go from axt church. We hope this message
-
will light up your day. Do they want to share the message of Christmas?
-
So if you have never heard about the message of Christmas, today,
-
I pray that your heart will be open and it is my privilege to be
-
able to bring to you a message of Christmas. And if you have heard
-
heard the message of Christmas year after year, my encouragement to you is don't
-
get too familiar with the message of Christmas, because with every new opportunity to
-
hear, God will always give you a new revelation. And with a newer
-
revelation it will come a higher appreciation to the message itself. Do you dancing
-
that, honey? This thing actually insulted your house? Sounds down the sweepings,
-
E's season the Hi. You're gaining right, so very Bible, John
-
chapter three, we're gonna read verse thirteen, and then we're gonna read straight
-
to worse sixteen and seventeen. One of most of you would already know this
-
by heart. Woman like said that you have windy Si Santi hioing one.
-
If you're reading John chapter three, worth eighteen, say yes yes. The
-
rest five thousands, thousand, Yes, okay. Now, John chapter three
-
was thirteen. I want to invite you to read together with me, so
-
we'll we'll do one shot in English, then Alicia will do the rest in
-
Mandrein. So reading together with me means reading aloud together. Yeah, okay.
-
John chapter three was thirteen. No one has ascended to heaven, but
-
he who came down from from heaven, that is the Son of Man,
-
who is in heaven. For God's verse sixteen, For God so loved the
-
world that he gave his only Begoden Son, that who ever believes in him
-
should not perish, but have everlasten life. For God did not send his
-
son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world true him
-
might be safe. Amen soul toong tin Jus Tina runs Mason quoting son is
-
Suran fan the Yongsan Ina tit Jun Schuldren the three shuldren in So it was
-
thirteen. The term dead son of Man basically refers to Jesus. Because you
-
can cross reference this to the Book of Daniel, where Daniel saw a vision
-
of the Son of Man ruling the earth. So exactly, you can't runs
-
just the years. So I believe it's Daniel chapter seven. If it is
-
not there, you can go back and find it. So we don't know
-
that Jesus says no one has ascended to heaven but he who came down from
-
heaven. In other words, Jesus is making a claim that he came down
-
from heaven. So you not anything, just tell you on justice year and
-
it came down with a mission. What was Jesus's mission? His mission is
-
to fulfill God's will for him to come into earth, understand the life of
-
a human being, and ultimately being the perfect atonement for us. In ye
-
just a son taire want and so its just about a champion. So for
-
God so loved the world English, I shouldn't so chat this in some of
-
the houses and say who are the world? So Joe instance, just a
-
woman chambourin. And I want to say it again that Christianity is not a
-
Western religion. So at one point the western world us Europe, they were
-
more receptive to the Gospel. They were thriving as a nation. And towards
-
the East we see a lot of culture, cultural influences, the influences the
-
East. Thinking that Christianity is for the West, change geneska happens to be.
-
I don't don't so did jalous? Don't jo sweet? See? I
-
funk like you see if thing Christianity is for everyone, did you just gay
-
woman? Regardless of your skin color, regardless of the race, regardless of
-
your demographic When the Bible says God so loved the world, he loves everyone,
-
so I shouldn't just down to demonstrate his love. He gave us Jesus
-
since the idols, So how to get your woman? Yeah? The first
-
point for us to consider is why God so loved the world. The thing
-
just wish emotion, I shouldn't. Point number one is you must understand you
-
and I are made in the image of a certain woman, and she paid
-
out. And we learned this in Genesis, chapter one, verse twenty seven
-
x TV the Roman transit. And you can't say so God created man in
-
his own image, in the image of God. He created him male and
-
female. He created them so that it's out douny, So turn to and
-
say you're created in the image of God paid out? All right? I
-
know when you look at each other sound you're finding it difficult to believe.
-
But don't let the perception to see if you are. The truth is we
-
are all created in the image of God. House She means by her nan
-
she turned because sing so why God so loved the world. We are created
-
in His image. And secondly, God is love. First John for sixteen.
-
Now so you handed to this is this just an j I And we
-
have known and believe the love that God has for us. God is love.
-
And he who abides in love abides in God and God in him.
-
Handed to this is so that's an eye. Woman sings that, I mean
-
not j justice to that, honeymen. So God loves us because we are
-
his special creation. Cern eye Romans in woman's basient top it shorts out,
-
and he is the essence of love. Either you in told now we all
-
know why did He give us Jesus any woman? Wism your Roman Romans Tree
-
three says all have seen and fallen short of of God's glory. So inish
-
sir, found listen the room. Yeah, bi, it is very clear
-
that no one is found righteous in him. So sound eager, iron Domino,
-
and all have fallen short of His glory. Listen. Yeah. So
-
you go to John Chapter one was fourteen. So you're going to shoot out
-
your hand for Indie eas antissit John Chapter one was fourteen you have for indie
-
eas anti xtv's feel finding. I'll just flip it to my Bible then is
-
there ready? Okay? It says here and the word became flesh. The
-
word here basically refers to Jesus and dwelt among us, and we beheld his
-
glory, the glory as of the only begarden of the Father, full of
-
grace and truth. So yeah, for thou that woman, maman, that
-
you're danger and God the wrong. So in other words, the standard of
-
God's glory is found in Jesus. So you know if you a center rong,
-
yeah not ices. Yeah, so imiicates out of town. Help many
-
of you here? You work in quality assurance, like she chip out into
-
ship on the pins the talents. How okay? If we all know that
-
in life there is always standard. You go to exam, there is a
-
standard to tell you whether you have past the exam or you failed the exam.
-
That's a down. And you work in a company that produces something,
-
there is a standard to tell you whether this is a good to go or
-
this is a defects Like going to the honey is some of the tampings,
-
the house sore tamping. There's a standard that speaks about quality just so you
-
how how high school hell. God's standard is holiness and perfection, So you
-
cernada, you go on chin and the standard can only be found in Jesus.
-
So certainly that's for me to look at. Seen scene basically means anything
-
that falls below the standard of Jesus is seen. What I saw just eas
-
Yeah, then I say the belt anything that is and christ like, it's
-
seen to the three. So when the time when before Jesus was born,
-
the world was in a very dark age, was a very dark time.
-
So then Hamo Johnson that hey and especially in the Nagion of Israel to four
-
hundred over years, they God didn't spoke to them bang Jisen Tomhaman so good
-
and so it's a very very dark time sega face and hey Achi until a
-
day when Jesus was born down years youngs the nineteen and his his life the
-
day he was born fulfilled a lot of prophecies which we will have a look
-
later. High yes Jan the nineteen in Indian Hondosians, so they tell kantingue.
-
So before we look at his birth, we look at who Jesus is
-
in first College. Sorry, In Colosions chapter one was fifteen, Jesus is
-
described as the image of the invisible God. So the time, well,
-
Mahaimil, she can't say years to dance in the nineteen fasts, so it's
-
no yea juice like girl set anti years to jam. We will read first.
-
We'll read Collosions chapter one, verse fifteen or si shuti eats anti suja
-
he meaning Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all
-
creations anti ujo so juices tongue or tongs And when you go to John chapter
-
fourteen, we're gonna read from verses eight to ten. Oman she can't say
-
you have for indy e ja Okay, we'll read from seven first So yeah,
-
so they say if you have so Jinu said, if you had known
-
me, you would have known my father also. And from now on you
-
know him and have seen him. Philip, who is one of his disciples,
-
said to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is
-
sufficient for us. Jesus said to him, have I been with you so
-
long and yet you have not known me? Philip, he who has seen
-
me has seen the Father so how can you say, show us the Father
-
your jurans food in content phil toujo sing gay woman can omanjuuula, here's what
-
you need tongsa and namo tang ju near hypersu marukanten jus kantenso saying gay woman
-
kana. So remember he is the image of the invisible God. If you
-
have seen me, you have seen the Father. In other words, the
-
life of Jesus is a encapsulation of who God is. Just to kow food.
-
So about six hundred to seven hundred years before Christ, so it's n
-
there was a major prophet in the Bible called Isaiah. Isaiah, who have
-
already fore told that God is going to send a deliverer. God is going
-
to send a Messiah. God is going to send a savior to the nation
-
of Israel. Shall I just saying the hwai Asaiah? I guess. So
-
that was the time of Isaiah, and you stretch it even longer to the
-
time of Moses without jus changes. Moses was a key figure in Israel.
-
Most it's a little Moses was remembered by him being raised by God to deliver
-
the history eyes out of Egypt and into the promised land. You know mosticipatients,
-
she taling, it's a little I too, I know. And it's
-
the last stages of Moses. He spoke in Deuteronomy eighteen, verse fifteen.
-
Sohona uh this So he says that the Lord your God will raise up for
-
you a prophet capital p like me from your myths from your bedroom. Him
-
you shall hear swati so yo, honey, tournamentinki raised. Since your team
-
must under stand, from Moses to the time of Jesus is thousands or years
-
thoughts each and as you read in verse eighteen to nineteen, out to dispart
-
it. This is duty xtivy. And the Lord said to me, meaning
-
said to Moses, what they have spoken is good. Next I will raise
-
up for them a prophet like you from among their bedroom, and I'll put
-
my words in his mouth. And he actually it was eighteen, and he
-
shall speak to them all that I command him. So a lot of capital
-
haitia next nineteen. And it shall be that whoever will not hear my words
-
which he speaks in my name, I will require it of him. That
-
means there will be judgment. So that is beside Hammond ham sinciais since trun
-
high jung war. It's is so firm trun get haman so putting song put
-
from what the means of so. So Moses was preparing the Israelites to assure
-
in Jesus being the great prophet. Now when you go to Isaiah seven four
-
Isaiah chapter seven was fourteen. All of you are probably familiar with this,
-
because I say it's therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. What
-
is a sign? In right? Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear
-
a son, and you shall call his name. Im. I want you
-
to stick this verse into your mind, right, stick it to your mind,
-
because later we're gonna see the fulfillment of this prophecy. So don'tran so
-
that insert we are getting man, are you INNLG? Human is? And
-
you go to Isaiah chapter seven, sorry, chapter nine, verse six,
-
where it says, unto us a child is born, unto us, a
-
son is given, and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his
-
name will be called wonderful counselor Mighty God, everlasting Father and Prince of peace.
-
That is so that in your in highway urson you eat down had a
-
gentle soundtime in chains inside the food pingo drein. Now there is not a
-
prophet whom we call a minor prophet, you're the sins. His name is
-
Micah, has a media media. Micah basically is a prophet that lives also
-
close to Isaiah's time is season holder. So the prophet Micah prophetes side in
-
chapter five, verses one to five. You so Hawaii, Now get yourself
-
in troops, old daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us.
-
They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek. Next,
-
But you betlerham at frata. Now remember Betley, just how we sayg
-
right, come right, come to bedlem, and all very sore my trope.
-
Okay, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out
-
of you shall come fourth to me, the one to be ruler in Israel.
-
Next, who's going forth are from of all, from ever lasting.
-
Next, therefore he shall give them up until the time that she who is
-
in labor has given birth. Then the remnant of his bedroom shall return to
-
the children of Israel. Next, and he shall stand and fit his flock.
-
Remember, Jesus is a good shepherd, and the strength of the Lord
-
in the majesty of the name of the Lord. He is God, and
-
they shall abide. For now he shall be grade five to the ends of
-
the earth. And this one shall bee and this one shall be peace son.
-
Since any wh woman, so all these were fore told. How y
-
that is a savanda bol bold unction yeh isli and jo food thence thousands and
-
for instances assumption the dijon big without likes in the way, and you haven't
-
been religion is a big so away woman opinion. Right, So, the
-
prophecy from Isaiah basically prophesy about the birth of Jesus's since so so, then
-
I out years in the nineteen and when you read the Old Testament, you
-
realize that there's a lot of prophecy about Jesus, including how he will be
-
hung at the cross paid in sucize. But specifically for today we will see
-
the fulfillment of his birth. In first, let us read the book of
-
leuk chapter one, so mala years to tancer the niggar ee maa. We're
-
gonna read from twenty six all the way to thirty eight. This sans pati.
-
So remember Isaiah seven fourteen. So this is the fulfillment to juicidally Indian.
-
This is here now. In the six months, the angel Gabriel was
-
sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed
-
to a man whose name was Joseph of the House of David. The House
-
of David is also known as Judah. Yeah. The virgin's name was Mary,
-
and having come in, the Angel said to her, rejoice, highly
-
favored one. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women.
-
But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying and considered what
-
manner of greeting this was. Then the Angel said to her, do not
-
be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold,
-
you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a son, and shall
-
call his name Jesus. He will be great, and he will be called
-
the Son of the Highest. And the Lord God will give him him the
-
throne of his father David, and he will reign over the House of Jacob
-
forever and all of his kingdom. There will be no end that Mary say
-
to the Angel, how can this be? Since I do not know a
-
man. Now, let's pause there. When you read further, The no
-
here is not like I do not know Joseph, right, because Joseph is
-
the fiance. The know here is about reproduction activity, right where her husband
-
and a wife reproduces a child. So Mary was downfounded, like, okay,
-
I'm going to have a child, But how can this be because I
-
have not known a man. And the Angel answered and said to her,
-
the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will
-
overshadow you. Therefore, also the Holy One who is to be born will
-
be called the Son of God. Now, indeed, Elizabeth, your relative,
-
has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is now
-
the six months for her who was called Baron Aposse, or well, sorry,
-
Elisha, who is Elizabeth? Elizabeth basically is the mother of John the
-
Baptist. So John Baptist was basically older than Jesus. And we all know
-
John Baptist was in the wilderness sharing a message preparing the way for Jesus.
-
In verse thirty seven, I really love this, for with God nothing will
-
be impossible. Their Mary said, behold, the maidservant of the Lord,
-
let it be to me according to your word. And the Angel departed from
-
her. No, you can't say look at t one Jali leader. It
-
wasn't she sal she paid that way the Ignja tony the Malaya tends to Monga

-
if someone had this encounter with an angel and you're go and tell someone,
-
they will think that you're crazy. Isn't it changed? Local holdd have
-
you compa didn't you they will think that you hall you need it's freezing for
-
sorry my SPM English not so good? Right, You'll think that you are
-
you seen it? What happened If the birth of Jesus was confirmed and corroborated
-
through different sauce, that makes it credible? The tans and talk and she
-
turned what is the ultimate sign? The ultimate sign is that the child must
-
be born of a virgin birth in a woman toy a centrue line. Scientifically,
-
it's impossible to have a child like that, so that's like the childhood.
-
But the angels say with God it is possible because you jumps for injercent
-
shamble. So if you're Joseph, you will also be feeling like, I
-
don't know, you know, did my fiance went outside and came back?
-
Then? Tell me another story here that sounds so that who went should me
-
wrong? Hire you in terms right translation? Meaning, did my fiance went
-
out and have a fair with another man, came back, came back knowing
-
that he's pregnant and now telling me there's an angel telling me this and that
-
right? Think thing about it? Because we're all human, we often have
-
this thought. Those what wasn't saying the child must be born of a virgin
-
birth based on Isaiah. Also Na hides to be tony true line. You
-
know God is so good. You know he doesn't just speak to Mary.
-
He also sent an angel to speak to Joseph Malise. So the first wakness
-
was who Mary. Second weakness will look at Joseph. In the Book of
-
Matthew, chapter one was eighteen. So Mali, gentlemen, and I do
-
each attack and yes gender Now at the birth of Jesus Christ. Sorry,
-
now, the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows, and his mother Mary
-
was betrothed to Joseph. Before they came together, she was found with child
-
of the Holy Spirit. Before when they came together doesn't mean they came into
-
relationship. It just means before they do reproduct reproduction activity. Mary was already
-
conceived with the child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband being a
-
just man. So Joseph is no ordinary man and the means it's righteous.
-
He has a right standing, good reputation, and not one thing to make
-
her a public example. Was minded to put her away secretly. Why it
-
is because they don't want to be embarrassed. They don't want to be the
-
talk of the town where. Hey, you guys are not married, but
-
your fiance is pregnant. What kind of man are you? Right? So
-
that's why they need to put Mary away secretly. But while he taught about
-
these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a
-
dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to
-
take you marry your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of
-
the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a son, and you shall
-
call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
-
So all this was done that it might be fulfilled. Remember Isaiah, which
-
was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, behold, the Virgin
-
shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall call his name
-
a Manuel, which translated God with us. Then Joseph, being aroused from
-
sleep, did as the Angel of the Lord commanded him, and took to
-
him his wife, and did not know her till he had brought forth She
-
had brought forth the first one sign, and he called his name Jesus.
-
This opened like you can't say you just a year to junson Salmon Malia.
-
She paid yes him in Malia just concerning tattan four years a circa eating min
-
and bahasam j noyes pushing around to base your unce. How are you in
-
the swimming turn into the soil to the s s so that way, so
-
your your part. She needed te malia like inta so the younserning like then
-
cha years in tire junk the bising song three early due to writer each the
-
stat juice your Indian to the so so so bio tony, how are you
-
in turn the men way ni fantou a certain Roman tone tie, No,
-
you're a singer. She like you through the but she treated God in ja
-
yezhu So who saw the first sign Mary who was assured and became a weakness
-
to the same sign, Joseph, how do we know this is an act
-
of God because it is impossible for a lady to conceive without having a husband
-
involved. So this too, being the parent of Jesus, saw the fulfillment
-
of the prophecy of Isaiah coming to life. So does that little majority?
-
Can I take the desaun so fast and the JUICEI maliya the same sound in
-
omens that you know how has booken a meal? Now we'll read onto chapter
-
two in the Book of Matthew. Now, after Jesus was born in where
-
Bethlehem? What did the prophet Micah say earlier that Jesus specifically Jesus wasn't named,
-
but the ruler will be born in Bettlehem. Right in the days of
-
Herod the king Behold, wise man from the east came to Jerusalem. Remember
-
we saying, oh, Holy night, the wise man from land of Orion.
-
So he's referring to this scripture. This wise men they believe in astrology.
-
They look at stars and all that. Once I want, oh,
-
yes, since I you tie the poly juice Indian two years or so your
-
jiga post like yellow salon, so the nugga poster n post. And when
-
they came, they say, where is he who has been born king of
-
the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east and have come
-
to worship him. Now he's no ordinary baby. The fact that people saw
-
the star willing to make an effort to come to Jerusalem and look for this
-
baby tells us Jesus, it is no ordinary baby. Answer in higher like
-
she puts to Taijad, Like the community is waiting for the birth of a
-
savior. Told Hi's Jusu to the Tanzan wors. Three. When Herod the
-
King heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And
-
when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together,
-
he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born? One ing and
-
your put the Jesus. And one times I heard too, hundreds of years
-
ago they already received adults. Must understand the scribes. These are not people
-
without brains. These are very smart people who study scriptures, who read the
-
law, and they know exactly that the Christ will be born in Bethlehem.
-
The Ones, the Ones put that on meal to so the hammanswer the liver,
-
Uning saw the liver. There's a principle here. You know that God
-
is faithful. He will fulfill his promise. Indian had a sings All you
-
need to do is to stay faithful just about the things you promised them.
-
A savior Tamon in Hamma say may arrive a few hundred years later, but
-
he fulfilled his promise, because that's the right time for everything. That's to
-
your Ma. If you're to grow and thrive in your faith, see blessing
-
in your life, go with God's timing, did you don't go with your
-
timing ant, Because God is always on time. So the birth of Jesus
-
was right on time in the years, at a particular hour, just so
-
they say to him in Bettlehem of Judia for tasks. It is written by
-
the prophet. Remember we read this earlier. But you, bettle Ham in
-
the land of Judah, are not the least among the rulers of Judah.
-
For out of you shall come a ruler who will shap my people Israel.
-
You tie you so I first out to eleven when the wise men came come
-
into the house, they saw the young child with Mary, his mother,
-
and fell down and worshiped him. And when they had opened their treasures,
-
they presented gifts to him gold, Frank, Consons and merv not or conqueror,
-
found hides, natal hid Juan, jing Russ and Moyaw. So Jesus
-
was no ordinary baby in y on the in high. I think when we
-
were born, the most we received, if ever, was just unbowed from
-
our relative something that moment. So holdman so home BOWI right. But Jesus
-
he received the most expensive gift men. So it was no ordinary baby.
-
But knew it that this baby was special. You knew it that this baby
-
was directly from God. Inhean lights was twelve then being divinely worn in a
-
dream that they should not return to Herod. They departed for for their own
-
country. And another way that in which I don't why they did not go
-
back to hero You must understand Herod was the king. Now you've got a
-
child who is being foretold will be a king. Think about you, right,
-
you're watching a lot of Chinese kingdom movie, right, So if you're
-
a king now and you know someone is gonna be king, what you're gonna
-
do right to make sure that you remain in power, to make sure that
-
your lineage remain in power. So your ego one sing eating and high powers
-
the time. So Jesus life as a baby as a child was also in
-
danger because when you're reading in West thirteen now, when they had departed,
-
behold and Angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream again saying,
-
arise, take the young child and his mother. Flee to Egypt. Stay
-
there until I bring you with for Herod will seek the young child to destroy
-
him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by
-
night and depart for Egypt, and was there until the death of Herod,
-
that it might be fulfilled. And the prophecy spoken by the Lord through the
-
prophet saying, out of Egypt, I have called my son wait time,
-
and she hold you to This is the year. So ChIL title hides mot
-
from she beats out one. I wants to see your Indian sinceus. So
-
this is from Hosia chapter eleven, verse one. So it's just her Zayad.
-
So the wise man and King Herod became another pull of weakness about the
-
birth of Jesus and why it is significant to Herod. It's just a king
-
that I want to get rid To the wise man, wow, this is
-
from God. We worship you don't worship men. Right. The fact that
-
the wise men worship this baby says a lot about this baby. Son one
-
very quickly who else became a waitness to the birth of Jesus and the years
-
of the tension. In Look chapter two, verse eight, sy look the
-
party, and now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the
-
fields, kipping watch over their flock by night, and behold an angel of
-
the Lord stood before them. And the glory of the Lord shone around them,
-
and they were greatly afraid, who won't write. Then the angels said
-
to them, do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good
-
tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born

to you this day in the city of David, a savior who is Christ

with the angel a multitude of heavenly hosts praising God, saying glory to God

-
into heaven that the shepherds said to one another, let us now go to

has made known to us Yander and can't woman. So these are a pool

they came with his and found Mary and Joseph and the big lying in the

Mania. So it confirms the word of the Angel. Now, when they
-
had seen him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning
-
this child, and all those who heard it marveled at those things which were
-
told them by the shepherds. The shepherds probably went around and say, oh,
-
angels told us this, We went and it was exactly what the Angel
-
told. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.

Then the shepherd's returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they

-
verse twenty five sad and says he and behold, there was a man in
-
Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. And this man was jazz and devout, waiting
-
for the consolation of Israel who's dead, who is Jesus. And the Holy
-
Spirit was upon him. And it has been revealed to him by the Holy
-
Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
-
So he came by the spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought
-
in the child Jesus to do for him according to the custom of the law,
-
he took him. That means, he took the baby Jesus up into
-
his arms and bless God and said, Lord, now you are letting your
-
servants depart in peace according to your word. For my eyes have seen your
-
salvation, which you have prepared before the face of all peoples alike, to
-
bring revelation to the gentiles, which are people like us. One on juice,

and the glory of your people is real and certain. You can't eat,

Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, Also that the thoughts

see him, and truthful you hid hides the baby. She doesn't she doesn't

-
see that there's a lot of testimony surrounding the birth of Jesus. And why
-
Jesus, what's a special baby? Sons way out put on the in high,
-
a baby that is no ordinary mark with the destiny in God it has
-
eager And see how our last weakness here one of the last. It was
-
thirty six. Now there was one Anna, a professess, the daughter of
-
Panuel of the tribe of Esher. She was of a great age and had
-
lived with a husband seven years from a virginity. And this woman was a
-
widow very long time of eighty four years, meaning the husband died very young,
-
probably at the seventh year of the marriage. The husband passed away,
-
and she remained a widow for eighty four years, who did not depart from
-
the temple, but served God with fastings and prayer night and day. Very
-
devout lady, and coming in that instant, she gave thanks to the Lord
-
and spoke of him to all those who look for redemption. In Jerusalem.
-
I got to do yanayana. Yeah, the pitha, namely eating out to
-
the teenage God, since I think passes pin so hating like turns and then
-
hides the three, hides three and the children. So I'm gonna end by
-
just saying this where that the birth of Jesus is the reason why we celebrate
-
Christmas, just the years to the times and just so hunting Uni that he
-
is your savior from two he was destined to live alife to show us the
-
way to God. Conting, and I will let you know that you can
-
continue to trust Jesus as God says, because when I line Jesus up compared
-
to other religious figures, even a town war, sorry, compared to other
-
religious Yeah, only Jesus' birth saw the fulfillment of prophecy. Only Jesus' birth
-
was confirmed by multiple witnesses the Tans and in junto since so so don I
-
say the Hua? And in five to four months times, maybe we're going
-
to celebrate Easter, where it shows that the resurrection of Jesus was also documented.
-
And because his birth is such a miracle, born of a virgin womb,
-
and his death and resurrection was also a miracle. No other so called
-
God, no other religious figure can promise you that and demonstrated that except Jesus,
-
your petty certain canting in UK for God. And ultimately that speaks about
-
God's love, because Christianity is not about worshiping a God that is so high
-
up there who have no understanding of us. He chose to came down live
-
among us. Remember in manual basically means god wadness. He lived among his
-
people, understand what suffering is, understand what struggle is. And then took
-
a pain, took a sin nearly that the cross, and he demonstrated it
-
by rising up from the dead. Yes, light just a hors tong around
-
time and she bounds a woman. So that's a message of Jesus, not
-
just years of the same. See, he offers you the gift of salvation.
-
Jesuits getting in early Oh, so this Christmas, as you wish each
-
other merry Christmas, also remember that Jesus offers each and every one of us
-
the gift of salvation, which is the greatest gift of all. Hunting doesn't,
-
doesn't time, It's so We hope you've been blessed by this message.
