The Pivotal Point of Christmas 12/25/11 AM

 Why is Christmas such an important event?  Do you need more stuff or another holiday?  Is it because of Baby Jesus? Who was He anyway?  Do you believe in Christmas? In Christ? What do you know about Him?  Most cults and religions agree on 1 thing. They deny the deity of Jesus Christ. They believe He was not God.  Why are there so many different ideas? So many cults?  Why their success? I Cor. 11:19  More about cults: Rom. 16:17; Co. 2:7-9; I Jn. 4:3; Jude 4  Is Jesus really God? Did God really become human?  Jesus is God. He is as much God as the Father and the Holy Spirit!  Let’s watch the Bible defend this idea.

 In the New Testament  Christ – Anointed One of the OT  Lord – Authority, Ownership  I Am – Greek for Jehovah – Jn 8:58; 18:4-6  Son of God – Has the qualities and characteristics of the Father - It speaks of His deity. He has always been the Son of God.  The Word – Jesus is the expression of God.  Only Begotten – Only expression of God in the flesh, the way God showed Himself.  First and Last – Rev. 1:17; Isa. 41:4; Alpha and Omega  Lord of Glory – Acts. 10:36  God – Jn. 20:28; Mt. 1:23; Titus 2:13  Stone of Stumbling, etc.

 Know that Christmas is to be understood in the light of this foundation stone.  This is the pivotal point of Christmas.  If the Babe in the manger was not God, then He was not capable or necessary.  Believe on Him and receive Him today.  I Tim. 2:3,4 – “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior…”
