Compassion at Christmas: The Big Reveal
Luke 1:1-25
"Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught." (Luke 1:1-4)
Two Periods of Bible History:
·The Period of PROMISE
·The Period of FULFILLMENT
4 Realities:
1. This really happened in HISTORY. (vv. 1-5)
2. BAD things happen to GOOD people. (vv. 6-7)
3. God’s POWER and PLAN are revealed through PRAYER. (vv. 8-20)
4. The LORD has done this. (vv. 21-25, 57-58)
Takeaway: How do we prepare for Christmas?
·PRAY expectantly.
·WORSHIP reverently.
