God's Christmas Grace (27C)

Speaker: Dr. Tony Evans

Date: 1/1/1900

References: Luke 1:5-45

God’s Christmas Grace
by Tony Evans
Text: Luke 1:5-45
Topic: How God sent his grace to real peoplewith real problems.
Big Idea: God orchestrated Jesus’ birth to bring us grace.
Key words: Christmas; Christ, birth of; Grace; Incarnation
Introduction:

To fully understand Christmas, we must put two stories side by side.

God’s grace was shown to Zacharias and Elizabeth.

Luke 1:5
The names Zacharias and Elizabeth together mean, "The Lord keeps his covenant."
To show that he can open Elizabeth’s womb, God shuts Zacharias’ mouth.

God’s grace was shown to Mary.

The angel Gabriel is the link between the two stories.
Mary questions the possibility of the prophecy, just as Zacharias did.
Elizabeth was Mary’s proof that nothing is impossible with God.

God orchestrated Jesus’ birth to bring grace to us.

The masterful plan of God was at work bringing both stories together.

Conclusion:

We have great reason to praise God for sending us his son.
