★ SERMON
* Topic: God with us
* Speaker: Pastor Ambrose Nwogu
* Text: Matthew 1:23 → "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."
* NOTE: "The virgin will be with child" and not miscarry or experience any other misfortune in the process of pregnancy
* WHY DID JESUS COME?
* In a broad sense, Jesus came for one reason: Jesus came to do His Father's will
★ Psalm 40:6-8 → " Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart."
* The blood of bulls and sheep cannot wash away the sins of men
* To make atonement for our sins, Jesus gave His own body
* Three (3) things that Jesus Did freely (voluntarily):
(a) He freely gave Himself as an atonement for our sins
(b) He chose to do so
(c) He fulfilled prophesy
★ Psalm 40:7 → "Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me"
★ Hebrews 10:7 → "Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God."
* There are things that are written about you in the Scriptures and it is left to you to trust God for the fulfilment of those prophesies and promises
* A knowledge of the promises of God will constrain you from sinning or going astray
REASONS WHY JESUS CAME:
(1) Jesus came to give abundant life & destroy the works of Satan into lives of men
