Luke 2:8-12

Joy came into the world

• Man has a problem
  • Sin entered the world.
• God has a solution
  • God told Mary she would have a son that would bring forgiveness to the world.
• Joy to the world the Lord is come
  • Jesus took away the sting of death.
• Because Jesus is come, we can have joy
  • We have a Messiah, a king above every king, a high priest above every high priest. Jesus brought peace between man and God.
    • What God separated in the garden of Eden, Jesus has brought back together.

God has kept His promises. We can have confidence in Him.

God has supplied our greatest need, so it is trivial for Him to supply our other needs.

Man can now have fellowship with God.

It all began so well, and it ends just as well.
