The Sign Of A Savior In Swaddling Clothes (2 of 5)
Series: He Is Everything To Me

Luke 2:8-12
I’m going to introduce a few interesting billboards that I saw recently, but before I do, I want to point out that the mark of a good billboard/sign is that-
1) It should catch your attention and
2) It should give you a clear message.
In progression I showed a billboard from KitKat candy that had the hand of God come down from the sky; a bi-plane looking like it’s broken through the top of billboard; a seatbelt ad that has a man imbedded in the sign (he obviously wasn’t wearing a seatbelt); a fitness billboard that has a fat man on the edge being so heavy that the sign tilts; a fishing tackle advertising a ‘‘minnow’’ with the words ‘‘Obiwan minnoba’’; a sign from the Submarine Museum of Alberta Canada featuring a periscope running up from the ground to the top of the sign; a creative warning on another billboard about tailgating; and a sign from a College of the Arts that declares ‘‘This Is A Sign’’.

There was something about the Savior being wrapped in swaddling clothes and laying in a manger that catches our attention and gives us a CLEAR MESSAGE of what God wants us to know about Jesus.
But first, we need to point out the importance of that word ‘‘Savior.’’ The Angel said ‘‘For unto you is born this day in the city of David a SAVIOR, who is Christ the Lord.’’ (Luke 2:11) The SIGN that the angel spoke of, pointed to THE SAVIOR.
So, what does it mean that Jesus is our Savior?
