What’s Christmas All About?
What’s Christmas All About? Matthew 1:18-25 Main Point: Christmas is all about Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who took on human flesh, and became Immanuel - God with us. 1.The angel declares that the Holy Spirit conceived Son is to be named Jesus (Ye’shua) because He will save His people from their sins. Verses 20-21 Ye’shua = the LORD our salvation John 3:16-21 2.His coming fulfills the ancient prophecy from Isaiah that the Holy Spirit conceived Son will be Immanuel – God with us. Verse 23 Isaiah 7:14 John 1:1-2; 14 3.We receive this salvation by putting our faith in Jesus Christ – we trust in what He has done for us, and we invite Him into our lives. John 1:10-13
