Message: “The Ancient Prophecy of Christmas” from Tom Leonard

The Ancient Prophecy of Christmas Luke 1:26-38 Main Point: Gabriel prophecies that the Coming Child shall be called Jesus (Ye’Shua) the Great Son of Most High God, and shall be the Davidic King whose kingdom will never end. Isaiah 9:6-7 1. The angel declares that the Holy Spirit conceived Son is to be named Jesus (‘Ye’shua’) = Yahweh (The Lord) Saves). v. 31 Christmas is all about celebrating the birth of Jesus our Savior! John 3:16-18 Why did Jesus pay the price? Psalm 49:7-8 2. His coming also fulfills the ancient prophecy from Isaiah that the Holy Spirit conceived Son will be Immanuel = God with us! Isaiah 7:14 3. We receive forgiveness and new life by receiving Messiah Jesus - we trust in what He has done for us, and we invite Him into our lives. (It’s a relationship!) The Truth about Christmas- "Our Lord left the glory of heaven and came here in human flesh, not to adjust our personalities or to help us reach our human potential or even to provide for our social betterment, but because we are morally depraved and hopelessly lost." John 1:12-13 Have you received God’s Christmas gift?!
