Luke 2 : 11-14
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, Who is Christ the LORD. And this shall be a sign unto you: You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising GOD, and saying, Glory to GOD in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men.
JESUS SAVES
The fourth message of the Christmas Gospel is that JESUS is the Savior of mankind. JESUS came to seek and to save that which was lost (Luke 19: 10). He left glory to seek out the people who were walking in darkness and to bring them to the Light of life.
Romans 1: 16 says that the Gospel is the power of GOD unto salvation. JESUS is the Word of GOD made flesh; He is the good news - the Gospel. It is only through JESUS that a soul can be reconciled to GOD. JESUS is the sign of the New Covenant and His Blood sealed that Covenant forever.
GLORIFIES GOD
When the Gospel is preached, GOD is glorified; when a person is healed, GOD is glorified; when a soul is delivered from darkness, GOD is glorified. This is the 5th message of the Gospel.
The angels and the heavenly hosts gave praise and glory to GOD at the birth of the Son of GOD. They sang, "GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST" All of heaven praises GOD and bows before Him in adoration. On earth, everything that JESUS did glorified GOD the Father. He set the prime example of the attitude we all should possess; an attitude of great gratitude and GLORIFY GOD WITH OUR LIFE.
