Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, welcome to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. Well, we
Speaker 1: hope you have a joyful Christmas, and today is the
Speaker 1: perfect time to reflect on the true meaning of the season,
Speaker 1: God's gift of peace.
Speaker 2: Love and hope through Jesus Christ. Now let's join Rick
Speaker 2: as he brings a very special message called the Miracles
Speaker 2: of Christmas.
Speaker 3: What's so miraculous about Christmas? I mean, it's just the
Speaker 3: birth of a baby, isn't it. Well, actually, there are
Speaker 3: four big miracles that happen at Christmas. The first miracle
Speaker 3: is who came at Christmas. The second miracle is how
Speaker 3: he came at Christmas. The third miracle is who he
Speaker 3: came to and the fourth miracle is why he came.
Speaker 3: Let's look at these four aspects of the Christmas story.
Speaker 3: You know, Christmas is actually the celebration of an invasion.
Speaker 3: Two thousand and fifteen years ago. God invaded Earth and
Speaker 3: it split history into AD and to b C. And
Speaker 3: it's never been the same since. So what's the first
Speaker 3: miracle of Christmas. The first miracle is that very issue,
Speaker 3: God came to Earth. God came to Earth. He said, Well,
Speaker 3: I thought it was just a birthday of Jesus well,
Speaker 3: Jesus is God. Let me show you some verses from
Speaker 3: the Bible. Colossians chapter one says, this Christ is the
Speaker 3: exact likeness of the unseen God. He existed before God
Speaker 3: made anything at all, and in fact, Christ himself is
Speaker 3: our creator, who made everything in heaven and on earth.
Speaker 3: You know, some people think, well, I believe Jesus was
Speaker 3: a good man. The problem is he couldn't have been
Speaker 3: a good man, because no good man would claim to
Speaker 3: be God. You see, if I stood here today and
Speaker 3: I said Hi, I'm Rick Warren and I'm a good teacher,
Speaker 3: you might say, yeah, okay, I might believe that. I
Speaker 3: might even say hi, I'm a man of God. He said, well,
Speaker 3: I don't know about that, but maybe. But if I
Speaker 3: stood up here and I said, hi, my name is
Speaker 3: Rick Warren, I'm the son of God. I'm God in
Speaker 3: human in form, now you've got a decision to make.
Speaker 3: I'm either telling the truth or I'm crazy or I'm
Speaker 3: a liar. You cannot be a good man and claim
Speaker 3: to be God. Jesus was either who he was, or
Speaker 3: we should just close up everything and go home and
Speaker 3: forget Christmas and all the big celebration that's going on.
Speaker 3: And notice what Jesus said about himself in this verse
Speaker 3: John ten, verse thirty. Jesus said, we are the same
Speaker 3: father and son, he and me, and I am in him.
Speaker 3: If you want to know what God looks like, you
Speaker 3: look at Jesus. Now. The second miracle was not the
Speaker 3: fact that just God came to earth in human form,
Speaker 3: but it was how God came to earth. And what
Speaker 3: it was is he became a man. That's even more
Speaker 3: mind boggling. The Bible says it like this in Philippians
Speaker 3: chapter two. Christ gave up his place as God and
Speaker 3: made himself nothing. He was born to be a man,
Speaker 3: and he became like a servant. This is God. And
Speaker 3: when he was living as a man, he humbled himself.
Speaker 3: Of all the ways God could have come to earth,
Speaker 3: he came as a baby. God entered the world the
Speaker 3: same way you and I entered the world. Everybody in
Speaker 3: the world ned the world by being born into it
Speaker 3: by birth. Now why did God come to earth as
Speaker 3: a baby. I'll tell you why. Because He came to
Speaker 3: save us, not to scare us. And nobody is afraid
Speaker 3: of a baby. When people look at a little baby,
Speaker 3: then they can they're not afraid. In fact, it's tenderizing,
Speaker 3: it's loving, it's compassionate. You see, I can't relate to
Speaker 3: some impersonal force in the world, but I can relate
Speaker 3: to God in human form. See. If God had wanted
Speaker 3: to communicate the birds, he would have become a bird.
Speaker 3: If he'd wanted to communicate to cats, he could have
Speaker 3: become a cat. He wanted to communicate the cows, he
Speaker 3: would have become a cow. But God wanted to communicate
Speaker 3: to humans, so he became one of us. This is
Speaker 3: the second miracle of how God came to earth. God
Speaker 3: became a man. Now, Jesus was a real man. He
Speaker 3: was real man, and he was real God. He was
Speaker 3: not a half and half. He was one hundred percent
Speaker 3: God and he was one hundred percent man. He's no myth.
Speaker 3: Did you know that in the Encyclopedia Britannica there are
Speaker 3: more pages on the man Jesus Christ than any other
Speaker 3: subject in Encyclopedia Britannica. The Bible says, in the amplified translation,
Speaker 3: he became like men and was born a human being.
Speaker 3: How was Jesus like you? How is Jesus like me? Well, first,
Speaker 3: as I said, he was born like us. No flashy insurance. Second,
Speaker 3: he grew up like us. The Bible says, he grew
Speaker 3: in wisdom that's intellectual growth, in stature of physical growth,
Speaker 3: favor with God that's spiritual growth, and favor with man
Speaker 3: that's social growth. Same four ways you grow. The Bible says,
Speaker 3: he was born like us, he grew like us. He
Speaker 3: was tempted like us. Us did you know that? The
Speaker 3: Bible says, Jesus has been tempted in every way you have,
Speaker 3: and yet he never sinned. And that's why he's not
Speaker 3: offended when you talk to him about your temptations. He understands,
Speaker 3: he knows what it's like. He can relate to your struggles.
Speaker 3: He experienced the same needs and the same drives and
Speaker 3: the same pressures, but he never sinned. And then not
Speaker 3: only that, Jesus suffered like us. Jesus understands pain. God
Speaker 3: understands pain. Why because he went through it. He felt pain.
Speaker 3: He felt disappointment, he felt loneliness, he felt betrayal, he
Speaker 3: felt grief, He felt the nails going through his hands
Speaker 3: and being stabbed in the side. He felt what it
Speaker 3: was like when he got tired. And so when you're tired.
Speaker 3: God understands how you feel because he's been there. Here's
Speaker 3: the point, Jesus can relate to everything you're going through
Speaker 3: or will go through in the future because he's been
Speaker 3: there too. You see, God wants you to know him.
Speaker 3: And because he wants you to know him, he wants
Speaker 3: you to know that he knows everything about you. He
Speaker 3: knows every moment in your life. He knows everything that's
Speaker 3: ever happened, from the moment you took your first breath.
Speaker 3: In fact, he saw you in your mother's womb. He
Speaker 3: thought you up. The Bible says God planned your days
Speaker 3: even before you took your first breath. Listen, you were
Speaker 3: designed for a relationship with God. If you want to
Speaker 3: know why you're alive right now, God made you to
Speaker 3: love you. He made you to have a relationship with him.
Speaker 3: You were not put here on this earth by accident.
Speaker 3: You were put here for a purpose, and the first
Speaker 3: purpose of your life is to get to know your creator.
Speaker 3: Have you done that? If you haven't got to know
Speaker 3: your Creator in a personal relationship, you've missed the very
Speaker 3: first purpose of your life. God did not put you
Speaker 3: here on earth just to mark things off your to
Speaker 3: do list. Now, this is the second miracle of all,
Speaker 3: not only that God came to earth, but that God
Speaker 3: came to earth as a human being so we could
Speaker 3: relate to him. We could we could see him, we
Speaker 3: could feel him, and he could understand exactly all that
Speaker 3: we're going through his creation. Now here's the third miracle.
Speaker 3: Jesus came to ordinary people. He didn't come for a
Speaker 3: select few. He didn't come for the elite. He didn't
Speaker 3: come for only the brightest and the best and the
Speaker 3: most righteous. No, no, no, no, he came for all
Speaker 3: of us. That's a miracle that God came to earth
Speaker 3: for all of us. He didn't come for religious people.
Speaker 3: Did you hear that he didn't come for religious people.
Speaker 3: He came for all people. He came for people who
Speaker 3: don't even care about religion. That's a miracle. In fact,
Speaker 3: the Bible says that Jesus said, I didn't come for
Speaker 3: the righteous. I came for the unrighteous. So if you've
Speaker 3: ever done anything wrong, if you've ever sinned, if you've
Speaker 3: ever had any regrets in your life, if you've ever
Speaker 3: messed up, Jesus came for you. He said, I came
Speaker 3: for not the perfect people, And By the way, there
Speaker 3: aren't any perfect people, but Jesus came to ordinary common people.
Speaker 3: He shows us even in his original birth's where is
Speaker 3: he born. He's born in a barn, not in a palace. Okay,
Speaker 3: not on a bed of gold. And you know we sentimentalized.
Speaker 3: He said he was born in a manger. Do you
Speaker 3: know what a manger is. A manger is simply the
Speaker 3: Old English word for a cow feed trough. You put
Speaker 3: the grain, you put the hay in there in the
Speaker 3: cow eats the grain and slobbers all over it. That's
Speaker 3: where he was born. He's born in a bond. His
Speaker 3: first visitors were not royalty shepherds, who were at the
Speaker 3: low end of the totem pole in social class. In
Speaker 3: those days. No political figures showed up at his birth.
Speaker 3: In fact, no religious figures showed up at jesus birth.
Speaker 3: There were some wise men from the east and philosophers
Speaker 3: who came. You know, today we treat the shepherds like heroes,
Speaker 3: but in those days they were really zeros. They were
Speaker 3: the least respected people because they smelled like sheep. They're
Speaker 3: at the bottom of the social ladder, they're the outcast
Speaker 3: of society. They're considered dirty, they're considered uncouth, they're treated
Speaker 3: with contempt by the people in proper society. And yet
Speaker 3: that's who Jesus has the angels announce his birth due
Speaker 3: the improper people of society. The point is this, Jesus
Speaker 3: came for everyone. Let me give you some Bible verses
Speaker 3: John one fourteen. Christ became a human being and lived
Speaker 3: here on earth among us. He lived among us. The
Speaker 3: message paraphrase, I love This says Jesus became flesh and
Speaker 3: blood and moved into the neighborhood. Now here's the good news.
Speaker 3: Because we could not reach up to God, he reached
Speaker 3: down to us. That's the whole message of Christianity. He
Speaker 3: came down to our level. He became a human being.
Speaker 3: He came to reach to you. And now anyone, anyone
Speaker 3: can have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Do you have
Speaker 3: that relationship? The Bible says in Luke two seven, Mary
Speaker 3: gave birth and wrapped him in cloths and placed him
Speaker 3: in a manger that feed trough because there was no
Speaker 3: room for them in the inn. And Luke two sixteen says,
Speaker 3: the shepherds ran to the village and found their way
Speaker 3: to where the baby lay. Now, just like those shepherds
Speaker 3: in the very first Christmas, you can come to Jesus.
Speaker 3: You can see his glory. He is inviting you this Christmas,
Speaker 3: just like he invited the shepherds the first Christmas. He
Speaker 3: invites you this Christmas to come and see him, to
Speaker 3: come and know him, to come and learn to feel
Speaker 3: his love and to be loved by him, and to
Speaker 3: learn to love him back. Now later on, wise men
Speaker 3: from the east, we know, probably from Babylon area in Iraq,
Speaker 3: came to worship Jesus and bring gifts. The Bible tells
Speaker 3: us that they brought gold representing his kingdomship, and franknsense
Speaker 3: and mrr Now frank and sense and merge. You know
Speaker 3: what they are. They're spices that in ancient days were
Speaker 3: used to prepare a body for burial. They would use
Speaker 3: frankensense and mr it's kind of an incense, and they
Speaker 3: would wrap strips of cloth kind of like a mummy,
Speaker 3: and they would bury them in burial clothes. These gifts
Speaker 3: gold representing his kingdom and frank and sinson Mrrer representing
Speaker 3: his death, were actually for telling what Jesus came to do.
Speaker 3: He didn't just come to live on earth. He came
Speaker 3: to die for us. Now, the greatest miracle is not
Speaker 3: how Jesus came, or even who he came to. But
Speaker 3: the greatest miracle is why he came. And this is
Speaker 3: the fourth miracle, is that he came for our benefit.
Speaker 3: He came for our minuit. The Bible says that the
Speaker 3: first angels announced that that first Christmas for us to
Speaker 3: you is born this day a savior who is Christ
Speaker 3: the Lord. Believe me, if you didn't need to need
Speaker 3: a savior, God wouldn't have wasted the time sending him
Speaker 3: at Christmas. He came for our benefit. What benefit? Well,
Speaker 3: let me just share with you some of the words
Speaker 3: of Jesus himself. First, Jesus came to tell us the truth.
Speaker 3: Jesus came to tell us the truth that you say,
Speaker 3: what kind of truth? The truth about life, the truth
Speaker 3: about ourselves, the truth about God, the truth about death,
Speaker 3: the truth about good and evil, the truth about your past,
Speaker 3: the truth about your presence, and the truth about your future.
Speaker 3: You see, if you base your life on faulty information,
Speaker 3: then you've got an unstable foundation for your life. You've
Speaker 3: got to base your life on the bedrock of truth.
Speaker 3: Jesus said, the truth will set you free. And here's
Speaker 3: the truth. I want you to listen very closely. Here's
Speaker 3: the truth. You matter to God. It doesn't matter who
Speaker 3: you are, what you've done, how long you've done it,
Speaker 3: or who you did it with. You matter to God.
Speaker 3: That is the truth that God came to tell us.
Speaker 3: In John eighteen, verse thirty seven, this is in the Bible,
Speaker 3: Jesus says this. I was born for this purpose. I
Speaker 3: came to bring the truth to the world. So Jesus
Speaker 3: came for our benefit. If you build your life on lies,
Speaker 3: you're going to have an unstable life, unstable emotions, unstable relationships,
Speaker 3: unstable finances. But if you build your life on the truth,
Speaker 3: then you'll have a solid rock foundation. So many people
Speaker 3: will lie to you today. In fact, you even lie
Speaker 3: to yourself. You know, your emotions lie to you. Your
Speaker 3: mind lies to you all the time. Not everything you
Speaker 3: tell yourself is true. We lie to ourselves all the time.
Speaker 3: But God will never tell you a lie. Jesus will
Speaker 3: always tell you the truth. Second thing Jesus came to
Speaker 3: do is came not only to give us the truth.
Speaker 3: He came to give us life, to give us life
Speaker 3: in all its fullness. John ten Verse ten says this,
Speaker 3: I came to give you life, life in all its fullness. Now,
Speaker 3: let me ask you a really personal question this Christmas morning.
Speaker 3: Are you living life to all its fullness? I mean, really,
Speaker 3: just be honest with yourself. You say, oh, yeah, there's
Speaker 3: nothing better than the way I'm living right now? Are
Speaker 3: you living life to its fullness? See? Most people really
Speaker 3: aren't even living. They're just existing. They just get up
Speaker 3: in the morning and go to work and come home,
Speaker 3: watch TV and go to bed and maybe relax or
Speaker 3: go to a party on the weekend. They it just
Speaker 3: the same routine over and over. They're not really living.
Speaker 3: You can be so busy making a living you forget
Speaker 3: to make a life. So many people regret the past,
Speaker 3: they worry about the future, so you end up wasting today.
Speaker 3: Jesus that I came to give you life. The greatest
Speaker 3: tragedy is not death. The greatest tragedy is to go
Speaker 3: through life not knowing your purpose. God has a purpose
Speaker 3: for your life, and it begins by getting to know him.
Speaker 3: You will never know the purpose of your life without
Speaker 3: getting to know your creator, because you can't tell yourself
Speaker 3: what your purpose is only your creator, your inventor, your God,
Speaker 3: can tell you your purpose. Jesus said, I came to give
Speaker 3: you life in all its fullness. Now, the kind of
Speaker 3: life that Jesus wants to give you has three different dimensions.
Speaker 3: It's three dimensional life. My past can be forgiven, my
Speaker 3: present has a new purpose for it, and it can
Speaker 3: be managed. And my future is secured. God put a
Speaker 3: God shaped vacuum inside you, and nothing will fill that
Speaker 3: hole in your heart except God. Augustine said, Lord, you
Speaker 3: have made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless
Speaker 3: until they find our rest in you. You can try
Speaker 3: to fill that hole in your heart with money. It
Speaker 3: doesn't work. You can try to fill it with sex,
Speaker 3: it doesn't work. Status, it doesn't work. Salary it doesn't work. Passion, possession, position, pleasure.
Speaker 3: None of those things work. What you need is God's
Speaker 3: purpose for your life. And that purpose is not found
Speaker 3: in a principle or in a pill. It's found in
Speaker 3: a person, the person of Jesus Christ. Now, he said,
Speaker 3: I came to give you truth. I came to give
Speaker 3: you life, and I came to give you here's a
Speaker 3: big one forgiveness and salvation, for unto you is born
Speaker 3: this day as Savior, who is Christ the Lord. You see,
Speaker 3: what do I need to be saved from? Oh, we
Speaker 3: need to be saved from a lot of things. We
Speaker 3: need to be saved from a sin, But we also
Speaker 3: need to be saved from ourselves. We need to be
Speaker 3: saved from the habits that mess up our lives and
Speaker 3: the hurts and the hang ups. We need to be
Speaker 3: saved from the lies we believe about ourselves that hinder
Speaker 3: ourselves and liberate. Don't liberate us that, in fact, they
Speaker 3: limit us in self impost prison. You see, if our
Speaker 3: greatest need had been education, God with a sonate teacher.
Speaker 3: And if our greatest need had been money, then God
Speaker 3: would have sent a banker. And if our greatest need
Speaker 3: had been just physical health, God with a sent a doctor.
Speaker 3: And if our greatest need had been you know how
Speaker 3: to succeed in life, God could have sent a consultant
Speaker 3: or a coach. But our greatest need is salvation and forgiveness,
Speaker 3: So we sent a savior. Now let me tell you this,
Speaker 3: You can't save yourself. In fact, God can't save you
Speaker 3: until you stop trying to save yourself. Many years ago,
Speaker 3: when I was a young man. I was a lifeguard
Speaker 3: for three years, and one of the things that we've
Speaker 3: learned we're taught in Red Cross lifeguarding and I for
Speaker 3: three years as a lifeguard. When somebody starts to drown,
Speaker 3: you swim out to them in the ocean and they're
Speaker 3: flailing around, and you don't dare try to grab on
Speaker 3: to them while they're flailing around, because they may pull
Speaker 3: you under themselves. What you do is you wait until
Speaker 3: they give up. And when they finally just give up
Speaker 3: and they start to sink, then it's actually quite easy
Speaker 3: to save them. You simply put your arm over their
Speaker 3: chest and under their arm, and you use your other
Speaker 3: arm to row back to shore. So I'm back to short.
Speaker 3: But you can't save somebody as long as they're trying
Speaker 3: to save themselves. Have you been trying to save yourself?
Speaker 3: Have you been trying to save your marriage? Have you
Speaker 3: been trying to save your reputation or your career or
Speaker 3: your investments? You know what, why don't you just relax
Speaker 3: this Christmas and accept the savior that God sent to you.
Speaker 3: You may have been pretending you didn't need God, but
Speaker 3: you really do. And then the deepest heart of your hearts.
Speaker 3: You know that's true. Jesus said this in John chapter twelve.
Speaker 3: I've come to save the world and not to judge it.
Speaker 3: Some of you think if you come to Jesus, he's
Speaker 3: just going to criticize you, condemn you, put you down,
Speaker 3: and give you a stern lecture, tell you all the
Speaker 3: things you're doing wrong. Listen to this verse again, John
Speaker 3: twelve forty eight. I have come to save the world
Speaker 3: and not to judge it. If you ever thought about
Speaker 3: why we give gifts at Christmas, you may have already
Speaker 3: opened all your Christmas gifts before service today, and maybe
Speaker 3: that you haven't opened yet. Why do we give Christmas gifts? Well,
Speaker 3: the reason why is because God started the idea. God
Speaker 3: gave the original Christmas gift. He gave himself. He came
Speaker 3: to earth in the form of a human being, Jesus Christ,
Speaker 3: and he gave himself to you. And he died on
Speaker 3: the cross for all of your sins so you don't
Speaker 3: have to pay for them. He was hung up on
Speaker 3: the cross. He was hung up for your hang ups.
Speaker 3: You can stop nailing yourself to the cross for all
Speaker 3: the things you feel ashamed of or regret, because Jesus
Speaker 3: Christ already paid for all your sins. Now, imagine if
Speaker 3: we had a Christmas service where people give you a
Speaker 3: Christmas gift and a year later you still haven't opened it.
Speaker 3: That would be offensive to the giver and it would
Speaker 3: be no use to you. And yet many many people
Speaker 3: celebrate Christmas after Christmas, after Christmas after Christmas and never
Speaker 3: open the gift. They never unwrap the gift. God's gift
Speaker 3: to you is the truth. God's gift to you is salvation.
Speaker 3: God's gift to you is forgiveness. God's gift to you
Speaker 3: is a life, eternal life, purpose in life, abundant life,
Speaker 3: a fulfilled life. These are the gifts God has for you.
Speaker 3: Will you open and receive that gift today? The Bible
Speaker 3: says this in Romans three twenty three. All of us
Speaker 3: need to be made right with God by his grace,
Speaker 3: which is a free gift. That's God's gift to you.
Speaker 3: That's God's Christmas gift. All of us need to be
Speaker 3: made right with God by his grace, which is a
Speaker 3: free gift. We need to be made free from sin
Speaker 3: through Jesus Christ. If you haven't done that, I want
Speaker 3: to invite you to receive God's Christmas gift today, and
Speaker 3: in this service I'm going to ask it we all
Speaker 3: just bow our heads right now. Okay, just bow your head.
Speaker 3: You don't have to close your eyes, and I'm going
Speaker 3: to pray a simple Christmas prayer. I invite you to
Speaker 3: follow me in it right now, and if you'll sincerely
Speaker 3: mean it with all your heart, God will hear you,
Speaker 3: and this will be the starting point of a brand
Speaker 3: new relationship with God that gives you a new life,
Speaker 3: eternal life, and abundant life. Let's pray. Bow your head
Speaker 3: and I just say something like this. Dear God, Dear God,
Speaker 3: thank you for the miracle of Christmas. Thank you that
Speaker 3: you came to earth in the form of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3: And thank you that you didn't just come for a
Speaker 3: few people, for the elite, for the super good, or
Speaker 3: the super rich, but you came for everybody, including me.
Speaker 3: And thank you that you came not to scold us,
Speaker 3: but to save us. Dear God, today I admit I
Speaker 3: cannot save myself. I can't even solve all my own problems.
Speaker 3: I need a savior. I need you in my life
Speaker 3: and I need you to give me the truth. I
Speaker 3: need you to give me the power to make changes
Speaker 3: that I want to change, that you want to see
Speaker 3: change in my life. And I need the power to
Speaker 3: be forgiven by what you did for me on the Cross.
Speaker 3: So today, as much as I know how this Christmas,
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, I ask you to come into my life.
Speaker 3: I don't understand it all, but as much as I
Speaker 3: know how, I want to follow you. I want to
Speaker 3: learn to love you and trust you, and I want
Speaker 3: this to be the new direction for the rest of
Speaker 3: my life. And I humbly ask this that you invite
Speaker 3: me into your family and accept me in Jesus name.
Speaker 3: I pray Amen.
