“The Wonder of Christmas!” 1 Timothy 1:15

…when the term is used only to refer to the celebration of the birth of Christ, the term is honoring to our Lord.

1 Timothy 1:15 “It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.”

Purpose: to reaffirm the true wonder of Christmas

IA Wonderful FACT A.What Does Christmas Mean to You?

How would you fill in the above blank?

IA Wonderful FACT A.What Does Christmas Mean to You? B.The Real Meaning of Christmas

John 1:1, 14 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us…”

Philippians 2:5-7 “Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.”

If the doors were to open and the Queen of England walked in what would we do?

IIA Wonderful PURPOSE A.The Real Question of Christmas B.Good Lessons Associated with Christmas C.From What Did He Save Us?

1.Saved us from – THE FEAR OF DEATH

NCIS episode had Gibbs reflecting on the loss of his little girl and his relationship with his dad…

Hebrews 2:14-15 “Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.”

1.Saved us from – THE FEAR OF DEATH 2.Saved us from – ETERNAL HELL

Jesus knew He came into this world for one reason…that’s why He came – so the wonder of Christmas is not just that He came, but that He came anyway!

IIIA Wonderful CONFESSION A.This Makes it Personal B.Only One Matter Really Matters

How often have you seen/heard and maybe even said yourself, “Jesus is the Reason for the Season”? Is such really the case?...

Summary and Conclusion: You and I are the reason Christ came into the world, but it won’t mean anything unless we recognize we are sinners… This is why the world doesn’t grasp the true meaning of Christmas. Don’t miss this point… The Wonder of Christmas = FACT, PURPOSE, CONFESSION!
