IMMANUEL: GOD WITH US
Matthew 1:18-25
INTRODUCTION:
This is a joyous time of the year. Despite the setbacks and lockdowns of 2020, this season is one that challenges us to count our blessings. As it reminds us of blessings, it also reminds us of need.
1. What is our greatest need?
If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist.
If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist.
If our greatest need had been pleasure, God would have sent us an entertainer.
But our greatest needwas forgiveness, so God sent us a Savior.
2. Because we needed a Savior, God came among us. Jo. 1:1-3, 14.
This is what we mean by “Incarnation.” The term literally means “in the flesh.” Although we might sometimes use it accommodatively, however the true incarnation is Jesus Christ: one who is truly God, who took on full humanity. The Incarnation of Jesus Christ is set forth in the Gospels.
3. That incarnation is presented in our textual setting.
Matthew provides a genealogical list from Abraham to Jesus. He sets forth a whole series of father-son relationships in that line. However, when he comes to the birth of Jesus, he is very careful to distinguish between the previous records and the realities involved when Jesus was born.
The text demonstrates the way the Lord entered into the realm of human beings.
