Title: The Miracle of the Manger (3)
Series: Miracles of Christmas
Author: Jim Perdue
Text: John 1:1-5, 9-14
- Today, we conclude our short Christmas series called, Miracles of Christmas. The first week, we saw The Miracle of the Moment from Galatians 4. Then last week, we talked about The Miracle of the Message from Hebrews 1. Today, from John we'll see The Miracle of the Manger from John 1.
- There are four major New Testament texts that emphasize the unique nature and work of Christ. John 1:1-18 - Jesus is presented as the eternal Word who reveals God and brings grace and truth. Philippians 2:5-11 - highlights Jesus' humility in His incarnation, His obedience to death on the cross, and His ultimate exaltation as Lord. Colossians 1:15-20 - Jesus is described as the image of the invisible God, the agent of creation, the sustainer of all things, and the reconciler of all through His blood shed on the cross. Hebrews 1:1-4 - emphasizes Jesus' supremacy as the Son of God, the radiance of God's glory, the exact imprint of His nature, and the One who sustains the universe by His powerful word while providing purification for sins.
- We will study two of these passages in our sermon series, Miracles of Christmas. Today, is John 1.

- *When we think about the arrival of a king, we picture a royal procession, streets lined with people, the finest clothes. Today, when the President comes to town, the streets are shut down, a motorcade of black SUVs and limos escorts him, and helicopters hover overhead. How would you expect the Son of God to arrive? A palace? A throne? A royal announcement? Jesus came in the most unexpected way. His motorcade was a donkey carrying a young teenage mother. His palace was a stable, and His crib a feeding trough for animals. Why a manger? Because Jesus didn't come just for the rich and powerful. He came for all of us. He came for the shepherds working the night shift, for the broken, the overlooked, and the fo ...
