THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST
The Annunciation of the Birth of Jesus
ISAIAH 9: 6-7; Matt. 1: 18-25; Luke 1: 26-35
God made preparation for the birth of Jesus Christ because he wanted to save the world from sin through Jesus Christ. From the time of Adam and Eve till the coming of Jesus Christ, man had continued to sin against God and reject His Kingdom. Man’s sin had separated him from God. Man needed forgiveness of sins so that the good relationship between him and God would be restored.
In the Old Testament, God sent the prophet Isaiah to announce the birth of Jesus. Isaiah prophesied the birth of the Saviour, saying “Behold, a young woman (virgin) shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel which means: God is with us.
The name of the Saviour would be Emmanuel. ‘Emmanuel’ is a Hebrew name and it means “God is with us”. God is with us through Jesus Christ to forgive us our sins.
In the New Testament, the announcement of the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ was made by God through the Angel Gabriel.
