Lord's Day: Dec 22, 2024 Preacher: Carlos Montijo Topic: Christmas Scripture: Matthew 2:1–12, Genesis 3:15, Isaiah 9:6–7, Luke 2:19–20

CORRECTIONS: I misspoke at around 00:14:00 when I said that God is not the Father. I meant to say that Jesus is not the Father in reference to Isaiah 9:6, where the Messiah is identified as the "Eternal Father," or, rather, the Father of Eternity. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all equally God, one in essence and three in Persons. I also misspoke at around 00:33:44 when I said that Jesus was born a sinner like everyone else. I meant to say that Mary was born a sinner like everyone else.

Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and stewards until the date set by the father. 3 So also we, while we were children, were enslaved under the elemental things of the world. 4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, 5 so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” Galatians 4:1–6

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 (LSB)
