Scripture: Various Scripture

I.   JESUS   

Matthew 1:21: “She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”   The name you give your child may not determine his or her destiny, but the name given to our Lord was part of (his destiny).

Without Jesus in the manger there is no (Christianity).

1.      The baby Jesus is not only the (central figure) in our manger scenes, He is also the central figure in our lives.  We struggle. “But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincerer and pure devotion to Christ.” 2 Cor. 11:3

2.      Not only is Christ central, he is also (superior) to everything in heaven and on earth.

II.   NAMES

Isaiah 9:6 gives us 4 names:

1)      (Wonderful Counselor). Use of the word “wonderful.”

2)      (Mighty God).  Used in Is.10:21 and Jer.32:18. Use of the word “El.”

3)      (Everlasting Father). A unique description of Jesus.

4)      (Prince of Peace). Christ conquers all.
