1. HIS BIRTH
The birth of Jesus was announced only to a chosen few - to humble shepherds, and to a few leaders outside of Israel. The time had come to bless all the nations of the earth.
The God of the universe came to the world in humility. He came as a baby, and this baby would be the one who would save the people of the world from their sin.
The all-powerful God became a man.
- LUKE 2:1-20
D.1. HIS BEGINNING . . .
Jesus was miraculously conceived. An angel named Gabriel came to Jesus’ mother Mary and said that the Holy Spirit would come upon her and the power of the Most High God would overshadow her. (See Luke 1:35)
Jesus entered this world completely pure, holy and set apart from all sin. He was 100% God but also 100% man. Stop for a moment and praise God for this incredible truth!
By trusting Jesus you are putting your hope in the only perfect One who is able to take away sin.
