God with us (Matthew 1:22-25)
Jesus Christ is utterly unique. He is the Name above all names. He alone is the God-Man. This is, in theology, known as the “hypostatic union,†which simply states that Jesus Christ is One Person with two distinct natures, One fully God, one fully human residing together in the one Person of Jesus Christ unmixed, unconfused, and undivided. 100% God & 100% Man, in the one Person of Jesus Christ, who from the point of the virgin conception and birth exist eternally as the God-Man. This is a mystery that exceeds the capacity of our minds to fully grasp. So here we enter into Matthew’s purpose: To establish Jesus Christ as the God-Man who came to Save (His people from their sins), Fulfill (OT prophecy), and Reveal (God to men).

A Savior from Sin (Matthew 1:18-21)
The announcement of the appearing of Jesus Christ came with the greatest news a sinner could ever hear, "He will save His people from their sins." From the unique circumstances of His birth to the three fold announcement of the purpose of the incarnation, Jesus Christ is the name above all names. He is the One who will Save His people from their sins, Fulfill all that the prophets spoke about, and Reveal the Father. This week we examine the unique circumstance of the virgin conception and the first purpose of His appearing: to "save His people from their sins!"

The Fear of God
God needs to be exalted & reverenced. We think the fear of God is what God can do to us but actually it is awe or reverence. This message tells how to have the fear of God. 1)Think often of the Throne Room of God. Everyone is stamped guilty & those that know the Lord will be stamped "Paid in full". When presented with God in all his glory, Isaiah responded with fear of the Lord and realization of his utter depravity. There is joy in meditating on the glory of God. 2)Let the Word of God Impact You Deeply. No one will be justified according to their deeds. By the law we gain knowledge of sin. What Difference should fear of God make in our life?

The Wonder of God's Overflowing Grace
Christ Jesus came to save sinners and Paul drives the point home, both to Timothy and to us. We need to be in awe of the Savior. We must never allow the Gospel to become too familiar to our hearts.
