Christmas Celebrated Estimated 45% of the world just celebrated Christmas. Many out of commercialism. Others from a civil holiday vantage point. Still others, because our Savior was born. 45% world population celebrate Christmas - http://www.reindeerland.org/christmas-traditions/what-percentage-of-the-world-celebrates-christmas.htm

The Significance of Our Savior Planned From Eternity Ephesians 1:4 – “…Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love,…”

The Significance of Our Savior Planned From Eternity As planned: His birth was prophesied. Isaiah 7:14 – “Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.”

The Significance of Our Savior Planned From Eternity As prophesied: Jesus’ birth was told His parents. Luke 1:26-35 – The angel Gabriel said to Mary: “Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus.” (also: Matthew 1:18-25)

That Jesus came into this world is significant… But the purpose is supreme!

Mary, Did You Know? That your Baby Boy… would one day walk on water? … save our sons and daughters?....This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you…. When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?.... (song: Mark Lowry)

Mary Didn’t, But God Knew The head she kissed would one day wear a crown… of thorns. Jn. 19:5 The hands she held would one day have nails driven through them. Jn. 20:25 That her baby - to be Savior - would one day hang between two thieves crucified as a criminal? Matthew 27:38 Isaiah 53:1-10

Thus It Was Fulfilled – Luke 24:25-27 And He said to them, “O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! “Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?” Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

This New Born Would Become… Our High Priest – to make intercession. Our King – to rule over and protect our lives. Hebrews 10:10

He Was Born To Die… Our Savior “She will bear a Son for He will save His people from their sins; and you shall call His name Jesus,.” Matthew 1:21
