Meekness and Majesty

Meekness and Majesty

 “So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.” (Luke2: 4-7)

Christ was born in a manger not in a palace-

Jesus chose where He would be born, He chose a manger instead of a palace to receive all who would come to Him. He received

The shepherds

The wise men

John the Baptist

The fishermen, tax collectors and other sinners

The sick and afflicted

And us.

Christ came for sinners and not saints-

St.Paul says in I Timothy 1:1,“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.”

He laid His life to save the sinners, He came as the sacrificial lamb to pay for the redemption of our sins.

Christ birth was announced through prophecy-

Isaiah 7:14: Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

Prophecy written: Between 701-681 BC

Prophecy fulfilled: About 5 BC

In Micah 5:2, there is a prophecy that reveals that Bethlehem would be the birthplace of the Messiah.

Prophecy written: Sometime between 750-686 BC

Prophecy fulfilled: About 5 BC

Christ lives because only He attained victory over death-

But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57

He brought back a dead lazarus to life. John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

He rose from the dead after being buried in a tomb 3 days.

MATTHEW 28:2-7 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. 

His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you."The huge stone was moved, and the Roman seal was broken, in spite of the guards at Jesus' tomb

Christ will come again Soon, Are you ready to receive your Saviour?

"Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. Rev:22-12
