Jesus Is Everything to Me Christmas
The Sign of a Savior in Swaddling Clothes
Luke 2:8-12

There was something about the Savior being wrapped in swaddling clothes and laying in a manger that catches our attention and gives us a clear message of what God wants us to know about Jesus.

Someone once noted: “If you don’t follow Jesus, you’re not going to go where He went.”

If, instead of being born as a baby in a manger, God had stepped down out of heaven with all His majesty and power, and appeared to them as the Almighty God, they’d have scattered in fear.

He came as a gentle and fragile child. As God in the flesh so that we’d know He meant us no harm.

He became mortal so that He could die on the cross and destroy the power of death.

For those who first heard these stories and knew the culture, this would sound eerily like the tomb in which he was placed in death!

But here’s the deal…you don’t have to know all that in order for Jesus to change your life.

Over the next few weeks, we’re going to look at the gifts that were wrapped up in Jesus.

Jesus was the Middleman, and He had come to make sure that we obtained that New agreement from God.

He also proved who He was by His miracles, His powerful teachings, and by rising from the dead.

Usually there’s been some kind of disagreement, or someone’s been wronged, like in our relationship with God. There’s a rift (a chasm) between God and us…and we created it.

And so it was, that our Savior, Jesus, gave His all on the cross to pay for our sins.
