TITLE: The Unexpected Dawn

Scripture:  Matthew 2: 1-12; Isaiah 9: 2-7

 

I.    THE DARKNESS OF THE WORLD                                                   

The distinction between Ahaz and his successor (Jesus):

        1. Darkness vs Light
        2. Distress and unhappiness vs Joy
        3. Defeat vs Victory
        4. Failure vs Success

 

“Expressive individualism”- “Authenticity to inner feelings, rather than adherence to transcendent truths, becomes the norm.” Trueman

(Truth) no longer matters; only what I (feel).

II.   THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD       

 

Mt. 2:3- “he was troubled and all Jerusalem with him.”  What does that mean?

The wise men brought three gifts:

        1. Gold- a gift fit for a (king).
        2. Frankincense- a gift used for (special occasions).
        3. Myrrh- a gift for a (burial).
