The religious leaders could not trap Him.
The Romans could not understand Him.
And even His followers had no comprehension of what the endgame was … His own disciples!
And yet—after a brutal execution and some ministry with a risen dead man, the disciples figured it out. After a couple days of hiding, and some encouragement—they became the Couriers of the New Covenant.
And it is a Covenant that we can not afford to let go of.
The message today is the same as it was 2000 years ago.
- Those who are with Jesus are given special privileges and treated like kings and queens
- Those who are with Jesus are forgiven—and they are given the keys to the kingdom
- Those who are with Jesus are of every race, culture, and social class
Isaiah 9 6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
My simple question is this:
How did Isaiah KNOW?
How did he KNOW?
This is Jesus.
How can a child be born who will be mighty God? Only in Bethlehem. Only a virgin birth. Only Jesus.
In all the Jewish law and culture and all of their writings—they had it correct.
And it would be Jesus.
When thousands of people CONVERTED … CHANGED … BEGAN A NEW CHAPTER … All from the testimony of a few men with no political power and no money and no status — It was because they had had an encounter with the King of the Universe.
And to make it very simple:
This is the ONLY thing that any of us need today as well.
Have that encounter with the Lord … and then pass it on to someone else.
It will change the world.
As followers—we must—
Figure It Out
Go Forth—and make disciples of all nations.
In The Name of the Father and the
Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone! – who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe.
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.
