<div class="SSN_title">"WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT."</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. THAT EXOTIC MOMENT IN HISTORY WHEN GOD CLOTHED HIMSELF IN A BODY OF FLESH.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. The fulfillment of God's promise of <a onClick="return mV('Isa',7,1);">Isaiah 7</a>, "Behold a virgin shall conceive..."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Think of it! The eternal God Creator of the universe born of a woman lying in that manger.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. What condescension from the throne of heaven, adored by angels to a lowly manger worshipped by shepherds.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Why did He come?</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. To give us a true view of God (Verse 18).</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. "Full of grace."</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Grace has its roots in love. God is love.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">2. Why does God bestow His undeserved favor? Because He loves.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">3. The word grace also means beauty. The beauty was manifested in Christ.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. "Full of truth" - Satan had confused man with his lies.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Man held wrong concepts of God.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">2. The misinterpreting of history.</div>
<div class="SSN_level6">a. When God said, "Adam where art thou?" That was not the call of an arresting officer, it was the sob of a heartbroken Father.</div>
<div class="SSN_level6">b. The flood was not sent to destroy men, but to preserve man on the earth.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">3. It is shocking how readily man listens to Satan's lies.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. To redeem world.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The world was lost, man was lost.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. The darkness of sin hid the way to God.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Jesus came to shed light on the path (verse 9).</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">d. Love is also the source of the desire to redeem.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. "God so loved the world..."</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. THE TRAGEDIES OF HIS COMING.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. "The world knew Him not." (verse 10).</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. They were expecting Him to be born in a palace, to hobnob with the elite.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. They didn't expect to find Him in a stable, or keeping company with common fishermen.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. The world still does not know Him today.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Oh yes, they will string lights on their homes, decorate the tree, exchange gifts, and get drunk.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Scotch tape and booze do prime business this time of year.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">2. I have more respect for the Communist in Russia who say they are atheist and have abolished Christmas than the hypocritical U.S. who celebrates Christmas without knowing Christ.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Do you know Him?</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. "He came to His own and His own received Him not."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. There was no room in the inn at the time of His birth.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. That seemed almost a prophecy.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Men today still refuse to make room for Christ in their lives.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Room for pleasure, business, profit, goofing, almost anything else.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Some of you today have made room in your schedule this special Sunday.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. You're frigid as you sit there.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">2. You're making room for Him this one hour out of the year. (8765)</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power." (verse 12).</div>
