Unpacking the True Meaning of Christmas: The Chosen One Chose You - Duration: 4:55.
My daughters are pretty amazing at memory work.
Well, kind of.
[Laughs]
My two girls go to a Christian school, so they come home with all these Bible passages
that they have to memorize, which I love.
And it is shocking to me and my wife how good
those little brains are at retaining information.
I mean, day after day and week after week and month after month
they can recite passage after passage after passage.
Until I asked them this question.
"But, what does this mean?"
I mean, I love the fact that my kids are memorizing parts of the Bible but it doesn't
mean too much for our daily life unless they know what it actually mean.
And when I ask that question, they tend to look at me like,
like Bambi in the headlights of a semi.
And I don't want you to have the same look when it comes to Christmas.
Because there's this incredible passage
in the Christmas story from Luke, chapter 2.
It says,
And so we have to be able to ask ourselves,
"Well, what do all those words mean?"
So, we talked about a savior which is a rescuer.
That Jesus was born and so he gets it.
He understands us.
That he was born to you, not to other people.
But to us, personally.
And today I want to wrestle with the word "Messiah."
What does the word Messiah mean?
Well, Messiah is a Hebrew word that means the same thing as "Christ"
in the Greek language.
Okay, but what does "Christ" mean?
Well, Christ literally means, "The anointed one".
That's the same thing as Messiah in Hebrew.
It's saying that Jesus, the anointed one,
has been born to you.
Okay, but what does that mean?
What's an anointed one?
Well, this is where reading the Bible cover to cover can really help.
In the Old Testament, when a new king or a new priest
was chosen to watch over the people,
they would be anointed with oil.
Like, oil would be poured out over their heads.
It was kind of a weird, sacred ceremony to let everyone know that
this was the set apart,
selected, chosen one.
Might be the best way in the modern language to really understand that.
The Messiah, the Christ is the chosen one.
And so when the angels said to the shepherds,
"Today in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you.
"He is the Messiah."
They were declaring, "This is God's chosen one."
The one chosen to save, to forgive, to die on the cross
and rise from the dead to make you right with God.
And that's why actually being called a Christian is an incredible thing.
You know, if Christ means chosen one, then Christian,
literally means a little chosen one.
Which is what the Bible says about you.
That if you're a believer in Jesus, if you follow this Messiah
that you have been chosen, set apart by God for a sacred purpose.
Listen to this great scripture from 2 Corinthians, chapter 1.
It says,
God set us apart.
He anointed us with the Holy Spirit.
Which is incredible news, isn't it?
Like, when you're a chosen one,
when someone chooses you for a date,
when someone chooses to comment on a social media post,
when your boss chooses to give you the promotion.
Like, you know how good it feels to be chosen.
So, think about this.
You've been chosen by God.
If you're a Christian,
you're connected to Christ.
And that means, just like Jesus was chosen to be the Savior of the world,
you have been chosen to be saved
by that Savior.
That's really great news.
And that is what Christmas means.
Let's pray.
Dear Jesus, our week would be transformed if our boss,
or someone in our family chose
to reach out to us in love.
If they chose to give us that promotion,
chose to give us that gift, we'd talk about it.
It would be such good news.
So help us to believe the fact that you have chosen us is even better news.
You chose us to be saved.
You chose us to be part of your family.
You chose to cleanse us and forgive us and make us right with you.
You chose to give us a place in heaven.
And so we rejoice in the Christmas story.
We rejoice in everything that it means for us.
Help it sink deeper into our hearts this season more than ever before.
We pray this all in the name of your chosen one.
And as your chosen ones.
Amen
One of the passions of Time of Grace is to reach people by whatever means possible.
Through television. Through Facebook.
Social media. However we can connect people to God's amazing grace.
And that's why recently, we've started to connect in a more intentional way to Instagram,
a social media platform that's reaching especially a younger demographic
who might not know as much as many of us do about Jesus.
I would love for you to connect with me on my Instagram account at @PastorMikeNovotny.
You're going to catch some inside looks of my life and
especially how I try to connect my day-to-day life,
my family and my work
to our incredible savior and his amazing word.
So check it out and I hope it's a blessing to you.
And may God bless your week.
