Introduction:

Christmas is more than a holiday; it is the celebration of God’s greatest gift—His Son, Jesus Christ. For believers, Christmas represents hope, redemption, and the fulfillment of God’s promises. It’s a time to reflect on the profound love of God and the mission of Christ to save humanity. Today, we will explore what the Christmas message truly means for us as believers through the lens of Scripture.

Scripture 1: John 1:14

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”


Scripture 2: Isaiah 9:6

“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”


Scripture 3: Matthew 1:21

“And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”


Scripture 4: Luke 2:10-11

“Then the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.’”


Scripture 5: Galatians 4:4-5

“But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.”


Scripture 6: John 3:16

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”


Scripture 7: Philippians 2:6-8

“Who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.”


Scripture 8: 2 Corinthians 9:15

“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!”


Scripture 9: Micah 5:2

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.”


Scripture 10: Colossians 1:19-20

“For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.”


Conclusion

The Christmas message is rich with meaning for believers. It reminds us of God’s love, the fulfillment of prophecy, the humility of Christ, and the gift of salvation. As we celebrate this season, let us not lose sight of its true purpose: to worship Jesus, share His love, and reflect on His incredible gift to us.
