The Birthplace of the King of the Universe?
Matthew 25:34-40:“Then the King will say to those oh his right, ‘Come you who are blessed by my Father; inherit the kingdom prepare for you from the foundations of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when . . . ?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’”
Some Food for Thought:
Is there room in your heart for Jesus or have you allowed other things to shut Him out of your life?
This Christmas, make room in your life for Him.
The Announcement of Jesus’ Birth (8-14):The Shepherds
The Angels
The Sign
The Praise
The Shepherds:
The Low-life of Society
The Outcast and Despised of First-century Palestine
But the Angels announced Jesus’ birth to them!
Some Food for Thought:
Has your success obscured your ability to see your need for Jesus?
Are you willing to admit your need for Jesus and make praise to God for sending Him to earth to save you from your sin?
The Response to Jesus’ Birth (15-20):
The shepherds make haste!
The shepherds make Christ known!
The shepherds make praise!
What will you do with Jesus?
Make room for Him.
Make haste to seek Him.
Make praise for Him.
Make Him known.
