The Eternal Gift
Revelation 13:8 …the Lamb Who was slain from the creation of the world.
The Promise Of Christmas Is From Eternity…
1 Peter 1:18-20 …it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
The Sacrifice Of Christmas Was Planned Before The Creation
Revelation 13:8 …all inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast (antichrist)–all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.
The Promise Of Christmas Is Of Hebrew Origin
John 4:20-22 “…our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” Jesus declared, “Believe Me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.”
Christmas Is A Pact Between The Father And The Son
Isaiah 42:5-7 Thus says the Lord God, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and its offspring, Who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk in it, I am the Lord, I have called you in righteousness, I will hold you by the hand and watch over you, I will appoint you as a covenant to the people, as a light to the nations, to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the dungeon, and those who dwell in darkness from the prison.
This Scripture Proves Jesus’ Identity
Matthew 11:2-6 When John was in prison he heard of the works of Christ, and sent word by his disciples, asking Him, “Are You the Expected One, or shall we look for someone else?” Jesus answered them, “Go and report to John what you hear and see: the blind receive sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them, blessed is he who keeps from stumbling over Me.”
The Promise Of Messiah Remedied Eve’s Error
Genesis 3:15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will crush your head, and you will strike His heel.
1 Timothy 2:14-15 Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner… the woman shall be saved through childbearing…(vs 15) (through thousands of years as the bearers of children the Messiah finally came through Mary)
The Promise Of Christmas Is Global
Genesis 49:10 …the scepter (position of rule…firstborn) shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh (prince of shalom) comes; unto Him shall the gathering of the people be. (The salvation of many)
Revelation 5:9-10 …they sang a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth!
The Sacrifice Of Christmas Saves Us From The Serpent’s Bite
Numbers 21:6-9 The Lord sent fiery serpents among them; they bit the people, so that many in Israel died. So they came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you. Pray to the Lord, that He take away the serpents from us!” So Moses prayed for them. The Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.” So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. If a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.
John 12:31-33 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me! This He said, signifying what death He would die.
The Promise Would Be Fulfilled In A Prophet Who Would Carry The Word Of God
Deuteronomy 18:17-19 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, I will put my words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him. It shall come to pass, that whomever will not hearken unto My words which He shall speak in My name, I will require it of Him.
Jesus Claimed This Prophecy As His
John 5:37-42 The Father Who sent me has Himself testified concerning Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form, nor does His word dwell in you, for you do not believe the One He sent. You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about Me, yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
John 5:43-47 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not accept Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him! How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God? But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. If you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me. But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?
The Promise Of Christmas Is The Promise To Remove Your Sin
Matthew 1:21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
2 Corinthians 5:21 God made Him Who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
