Given to Save (12/19/21)

For-Given: For Unto Us a Son is Given

Given to Save

Luke 2:8-21

 

The Christmas season is built on anticipation and expectation.

Our frustrations are realized because of unmet expectations.

The promise of the anticipated Messiah is realized through Jesus Christ.

Genesis 3:15 –> Genesis 12:3 –> Isaiah 7:14-15 –> Isaiah 9:1-7 –> Malachi 3:1

God is the God of the “Suddenly”

1.    Suddenly – their world was interrupted (Luke 2:9)

 2.    Suddenly – praise erupts (Luke 2:13-14)

• 100 Sheep (Luke 15:7)
• 10 Coins (Luke 15:10)
• 1 Lost Son (Luke 15:24-28)

 3.    Suddenly – they were changed (Luke 2:16) 

FINAL THOUGHT: If the Good News of the Messiah is for everyone, then who will you tell?
