Jesus, the Christ, Messiah, Son of God

Was to be born of the house of David

And would sit on his father’s throne forever. He was

and He will.

People seldom study the genealogies in the Bible, but

Matthew shows clearly that Jesus was descended from King David.

2

But I want to mention some interesting facts about that family going back even beyond David. Matt 1

Tamar was Judah's daughter-in-law posing as

a prostitute.

5a And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab;

Boaz married Ruth, a Moabite.

Harlot of Jericho

3

God didn’t choose a perfect family to be the family of His Son, Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

But God chose the right family,including Gentiles and vile sinners among them.

God chose you to be HIS son or daughter.

Your ancestry matters not.

You can start a new trend in your family.

Just choose to live your life unto God.

4

God would have us understand that He saves and uses imperfect men and women to do His Work.

Jesus came, the perfect sacrifice, to save us all from our sins.

Whosoever will may come and be saved.

Your past doesn't matter;

Your family matters not.

5

Matt 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Joseph was thinking of quietly putting her away, because he thought she had committed adultery.

6

“Take Mary as your wife; her child is of the Holy Ghost.”

Joseph believed and obeyed.

Caesar Augustus

Caesar thought he was a god, but he was just a tool in the Hand of God.

8

Joseph and Mary went to Bethlehem to pay their taxes.

70 miles.

Because of the census Bethlehem was filled to

overflowing.

9

Jesus was born in a stable in a manger because there was no

room for Him in the inn.

The birth of the King of kings and Lord of lords wasn’t announced

where you would expect..

10

His birth was first announced to the lowliest

of workmen in Israel.

They told the Good News.

11

Temple for circumcision

Simeon

Anna

7+84=91 + 14= 105

12

They saw Jesus’ special star in the east, and traveled a long journey to come and worship Him.

The wise men

13

Jesus was about 2 years old by this time.

14

Jesus at age 12

The learned men in the temple were amazed at His understanding of the Word of God.

They didn’t know that He was the Word made flesh to dwell among men.

15

At age 30 Jesus was baptized by His cousin, John the

Baptist, and He began His ministry.

16

The religious leaders hated

Jesus.He preached deliverance

to the poor and oppressed.

17

They persuaded the Romans to kill Him.

18

Jesus was seen by hundreds of people after He rose from the dead.

His Blood saves all from sin.

The Shed Blood of Jesus Christ is the only thing that will wash away our sins.

19

If you believe this Truth, the Gospel of Jesus Christ: that Jesus is the Holy Son of God;

If you believe that He came to this earth, born of a virgin, to live as a man, yet without sin;

If you believe that He gave His life, shedding His Blood for you;

All that remains for you to do is to ask.

20

Pray a prayer something like this:

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

I want to be born of Your Spirit into Your family.

I ask You to forgive me of my sins, washing them away in the Blood of Jesus.

Lord, be merciful to me a sinner and save me from the bondage of sin and the torments of hell.

I thank You Lord for my salvation. Amen.

If you sincerely prayed that prayer,

You are a born again child of the Living God.

Your sins are forgiven; you are cleansed.

21

CONFESS IT.Your testimony can be as simple as:

"I love the Lord and thank God for saving me."

Tell people what Godhas done for you.
