The Way God Saw Christmas

December 22, 2024

Sermon by Pastor Brent Snook / Dec 22, 2024

Series: How Do You See Christmas

Text: Matthew 1:21, Isaiah 1:18

Review of past sermons in the series:

How Joseph saw Christmas
How Mary saw Christmas

Today, we’ll see how GOD saw Christmas

I. GOD SAW CHRISTMAS WITH SIN IN VIEW

Read Matthew 1:21 and Isaiah 1:18

“The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart”

Two things God saw at Christmas:

A. The penalty of sin

Romans 3:23 “For the wages of sin is death”

This ‘death’ involves 2 things:

Spiritual death – separation from God
Eternal death – damnation by God

B. The pollution of sin

In Isaiah 1:18, God saw sin as scarlet and crimson

“Sin stains our lives”

II. GOD SAW CHRISTMAS WITH SHEKINAH GLORY IN VIEW

Shekinah glory: the magnificence, worth, loveliness, and grandeur of God’s many perfections

God showed His glory in numerous ways:

Creation (Psalm 19:1)
Revealed Himself to Moses (Exodus 33)
God filled the Tabernacle (Exodus 40)

JESUS: the greatest manifestation of God

Read Luke 2:9, 2:13-14

Read Hebrews 1:3

III. GOD SAW CHRISTMAS WITH A SAVIOR IN VIEW

A. The coming of the Savior

Read Matthew 1:21, John 1:12

The greatest gift ever given was Jesus

B. The cleansing of our sin

Read Matthew 1:21

Read 2 Corinthians 5:21

IV. GOD SAW CHRISTMAS WITH A SOLUTION IN VIEW

If God be for us, who can be against us? (Paul)

Read 1 John 4:9-10

“manifested” – to take the cover off

A. The desire of God

God’s plea to every person: “Come now…” (Isaiah 1:18)

B. The decision of Man

“let us reason together…” – a judicial term

We don’t need a second chance; we need a second birth
