Topic: Salvation
Notes:
- Christmas is about salvation, the greatest gift ever given; many
don’t get or want it
- Simeon in the temple blessed God, Joseph and Mary
- Salvation came first to the Jews, then to the Gentiles
- Jesus was destined for the rise and fall of many...
- Jesus is offensive, stirs up; there is no way to not respond to
Jesus; either you’ll bless or curse Him; people are agitated,
irritated
- Jesus will raise you up or cause you to stumble; no one is
neutral
- All glory belongs to Him; He has done it all; we have done
nothing
- God chose a path for you, a well-designed path, orchestrated...
divine appointments...
- Natural man cannot understand the things of God; the Holy Spirit
must quicken
- He gives you eternal life... does not loan it... it is a gift
