The Complete Christmas Story Ep. 02 - The Purpose of Christmas: The Cross

Описание: What is the true purpose of Christmas? It's not about the presents, the parties, or the pressure. It's about the Cross.

In "The Complete Christmas Story — Episode 2," we dive into the disruptive, miraculous, and purposeful beginning of Jesus' life. We examine the profound story of Mary and Joseph in Matthew 1:18–23—a story of scandal, divine interruption, and a righteous man’s difficult decision.

Discover how God uses the messy, interrupted moments of life to fulfill a 600-year-old prophecy. The message to Joseph was clear: move from PANIC to PURPOSE. The Son born to Mary was named Jesus (meaning "God Saves") for a singular, life-changing reason: "He will save his people from their sins."

This sermon explores the core truth of the Hypostatic Union (100% Man, 100% God) and the prophetic name Immanuel ("God is with us"). Ultimately, Jesus "was born to die" to close the chasm of sin and separation between humanity and God. His birth was the preparation for the ultimate sacrifice—the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world—so that you can have God With Us on your mountaintops, in your valleys, and through every storm.

Key Takeaways:
Christmas is centered on the purpose of the Cross.
The birth of Jesus was a "big interruption" that shifted Joseph from panic to purpose.
The name "Jesus" is a statement: "Yahweh Saves."
Jesus, being 100% Man and 100% God, was the only way to close the gap created by sin.
Sin separates us; Jesus' birth brings us "God With Us."
