God’s Christmas Grace
by Tony Evans
Text: Luke 1:5-45
Topic: How God sent his grace to real people with real problems.
Big Idea: God orchestrated Jesus’ birth to bring us grace.
Key words: Christmas; Christ, birth of; Grace; Incarnation


Introduction:
  • To fully understand Christmas, we must put two stories side by side.
God’s grace was shown to Zacharias and Elizabeth.
  • Luke 1:5
  • The names Zacharias and Elizabeth together mean, "The Lord keeps his covenant."
  • To show that he can open Elizabeth’s womb, God shuts Zacharias’ mouth.
God’s grace was shown to Mary.
  • The angel Gabriel is the link between the two stories.
  • Mary questions the possibility of the prophecy, just as Zacharias did.
  • Elizabeth was Mary’s proof that nothing is impossible with God.
God orchestrated Jesus’ birth to bring grace to us.
  • The masterful plan of God was at work bringing both stories together.
Conclusion:
  • We have great reason to praise God for sending us his son.
