Is he your lord of your life?


  • Luke 2:10-12 > God took the most significant event in man's history, the birth of His Son, and clothed it in swaddling rags. God revealed the importance of this birth not by outward spectacle but by the preaching of the Gospel and His Word
  •  Sign of the Christmas > wrapped up in cloth & born in a sub human environment, in the manger
  •  Saying of the Christmas > “do not be afraid.” 
  •  It was in a lonely field outside of Bethlehem that this first sermon was preached. The quiet solitude of that ordinary night was shattered when heaven touched the earth 
  •  Shepherds were generally considered dishonest. They were unclean according to the law. Their presence at the birth of Jesus was recorded by Luke to show his readers that the good news of the gospel is for the poor, for sinners, for outcasts, for people like these shepherds.
  •  Four titles of Jesus

                                                        i.            Matthew 1::21 > Jesus: savior

                                                      ii.            Matthew 1:23 > Immanuel > God is with us

                                                    iii.            Matthew 2:2 > he is our ruler; by grace not by law

                                                     iv.            Luke 2:4 > Christ > everlasting father


  • JESUS MOTHER SIDE VS. FATHER SIDE


                                                                    i.            From mother side Jesus was the son of man; from father side he was the son of God.
                                                                  ii.            From mother side He was the seed of David; from father side He was the root of David.
                                                                iii.            From mother side He was the seed of Abraham; from father side He was before Abraham.
                                                                 iv.            From mother side He was hungry, wept; from father side he fed five thousands.
                                                                   v.            From mother side He was Temporal; from father side He is Eternal.
                                                                 vi.            From mother side He dies at 33.5 Yrs. Of age; from father side He was ancient of days when He was born.
                                                               vii.            From mother side He was ordinary; from Father Side he was extraordinary.
                                                             viii.            From mother side He got body; from father side he got blood
  • Is he your lord of your life?
