Sermon || Pastor Sifiso Twala || A Christmas story (A doctrine of Incarnation)

So, people is simply saying, but the point of the celebration is not the celebration itself. But the celebration was meant to stir up curiosity. So, that an opportunity for teaching can be opened. So, this goes with all the other celebrations or events or whatever that we celebrate in the church. They are meant to give an opportunity for us to teach concerning those things. Because unless we attach teaching behind these days, we celebrate. We run the risk of eventually losing their essence. [00:05:56] (61 seconds)  #CelebrateWithPurpose

That the birth of Jesus is fundamentally important to the whole plan of salvation. In fact, you cannot speak of the cross. Without mentioning the manger. Let me repeat that again. Amen. You cannot speak of the cross. And ignore what happened on the manger on one day. Because it was on that manger where the plan was set in motion for the salvation of God.

So before you can access all these good things, you will receive the child faith. Because we are, but it is not the Lord, but we can't receive the Son unless we are able to accept the child. I'm explaining this in the way that I'm hearing this, Bazalua. The announcement of our salvation begins not with the cross, but it begins with the mystery of God as a person.

So we may disagree on the date of his birth, but our doctrine is not on the date, it is tied on the reality that there is no salvation unless there is a baby. [00:15:41] (21 seconds)  #BabyNeededForSalvation

I wish we could have understood this. I believe that the reason we will debate and discuss the 25th and the September and the December is because we are missing the key of this particular event. If we understood the birth of Jesus, it was not a just thing. But Okulungulu had to orchestrate his end for his birth. For his birth. The prophecies of his coming were spoken from the book of Genesis all the way into the other older prophets in the Old Testament. In fact, if we understood it as the devil understood, we would do a better job in defending. [00:18:32] (59 seconds)  #ProphecyFromGenesis

jesus did not only it was not the first time figure in the history of israel as throughout history whenever the bible in the old testament and the angel of the lord scholars agree it was a pre-incarnation of jesus so his manifestation was already there in the old testament but he could not he could not save them until he became men [00:27:04] (36 seconds)  #PreIncarnateChrist

Doctrinal is what we call incarnation. Thank you Lord. Incarnation is God's appearance in the flesh. Or loosely translated is taking on flesh. When we speak of incarnation, we speak of God working among created men. In the image of the flesh. It is the word which is the logos. Which became human in the person of Jesus Christ. It was the uniting of the divine and the human. Perfectly into one person. It was fully God. But it was also fully man. [00:33:17] (54 seconds)  #IncarnationIsReal

So logically kings must be found in the palace. They went to the palace The family Listen to the And going to the house They saw the child With Mary's mother But the key of our faith Is going past the church So that you can access the son Yes, he was born as a Jew I see the Jew But I bow to the king [00:35:13] (66 seconds)  #BowToTheKing
