Week 3: God With Us
Main Passages: Hebrews 2:14-18, Matthew 1:22-23, Hebrews 4:14-26
Now that Jesus has taken on human nature, what does that mean for our relationship with Him? The Incarnation opens up a door for the Lord to be with us in a brand new way. He can sympathize with our weaknesses. He prays and intercedes for us. He is our faithful high priest. Christmas invites us into a truly intimate relationship with God. Will we receive such a gift? No wonder the angels are singing!
Week 2: The Grand Miracle
Main Passages: Hebrews 2:14-18, Philippians 2:5-11, multiple additional verses.
Nothing like this has ever happened before or will again. In order to save us God would take on human nature in order to save us. Jesus thus was both fully God AND fully man. Both natures are necessary for our salvation. What incredible love must the Lord have for us for Him to send His Son, have Him take on flesh, and then submit to death on a cross. It is a mind boggling, yet incredibly encouraging reality! O Come let us adore Him!
Week 1: A Light in the Darkness.
Main passages: Hebrews 2:14-18, John 1:1-14
We have no idea just what kind of predicament we are in. Humanity as a whole is enslaved by sin, owned by Satan, and destined for death. We can’t beat any one of these enemies. And so Jesus comes to saves us! If we are to understand the magnitude of this miracle we must see the magnitude of the problem He came to solve. This was the only way to save us and He is the only One who can do it. When Jesus comes to earth He is true light breaking into the darkness of our world to give us hope, life, and peace. Joy to the World indeed!
