- 0:02Speaker 1: Would you open your Bible's please to Luke chapter two.
- 0:05Speaker 1: Luke chapter two. Mark that with one finger, and in
- 0:09Speaker 1: just a few moments we're going to be looking at
- 0:11Speaker 1: John chapter one. So you might mark Luke two and
- 0:15Speaker 1: then in a few moments John chapter one. If your
- 0:18Speaker 1: Bible is an iPhone, I do not know how to
- 0:20Speaker 1: do that, but we'll figure that out. Luke chapter two
- 0:25Speaker 1: will be turning two in just a moment. Let's pray together,
- 0:29Speaker 1: have mercy, please, Old Lord upon the one who speaks
- 0:33Speaker 1: for his sins, or many may we see Christ and
- 0:38Speaker 1: just Christ. Amen. So there you are in Macy's department stour.
- 0:45Speaker 1: The place is packed with people who have the same
- 0:47Speaker 1: idea that you did, and that is to take advantage
- 0:50Speaker 1: of a Saturday to get your Christmas shopping done early.
- 0:54Speaker 1: But you're making good progress in spite of the crowd.
- 0:57Speaker 1: You've already found the fleece for your son and the
- 1:00Speaker 1: perfume for your niece, and you're inching your way into
- 1:04Speaker 1: the jewelry department to look for those little pendants that
- 1:08Speaker 1: your mom keeps talking about. When all of a sudden,
- 1:12Speaker 1: the Macy's department store just explodes in music. I'm not
- 1:19Speaker 1: talking about somebody humming silent night behind you. I'm talking
- 1:24Speaker 1: about an explosion of Handle's Messiah, not through the speakers,
- 1:30Speaker 1: but through the shoppers. The guy to your right, who
- 1:34Speaker 1: is just pushing the baby stroller, stops and he belts
- 1:38Speaker 1: out the tenor part. And the ladies to your left,
- 1:42Speaker 1: who were looking for pajamas carrying shopping bags, don't even
- 1:46Speaker 1: set the bags down before they turn and they begin
- 1:49Speaker 1: to sing toward the mezzanine. The place is full of music,
- 1:57Speaker 1: and all of the store can be divided into two groups,
- 2:00Speaker 1: those who are singing and those who are wondering what
- 2:04Speaker 1: in the world is happening? Can you imagine such a
- 2:07Speaker 1: scene in case you cannot turn your attention to the
- 2:12Speaker 1: screen for a minute.
- 3:40Speaker 2: La, what a moment.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Shoppers became worse, Macy's became a sanctuary, and a common
- 5:08Speaker 1: normal Saturday became a Christmas celebration. But what happened in
- 5:19Speaker 1: Macy's last October is nothing. I'm talking small potatoes compared
- 5:27Speaker 1: to what happened in Bethlehem two thousand years ago. Here's
- 5:33Speaker 1: how Luke described it, beginning in verse one of chapter two.
- 5:37Speaker 1: And it came to pass in those days that a
- 5:40Speaker 1: decree went out from Caesar Augustus and that all the
- 5:44Speaker 1: world should be registered. This census took place while Corinius
- 5:48Speaker 1: was governing Syria, so all went to be registered, everyone
- 5:52Speaker 1: to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee,
- 5:56Speaker 1: out of the city of Nazareth into Judea, to the
- 6:00Speaker 1: city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was
- 6:03Speaker 1: of the house and of the lineage of David to
- 6:05Speaker 1: be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.
- 6:10Speaker 1: So it was that while they were there, the days
- 6:13Speaker 1: were completed for her to be delivered, and she brought
- 6:16Speaker 1: forth her first born son, wrapped him in swaddling cloths,
- 6:20Speaker 1: and laid him in a manger because there was no
- 6:23Speaker 1: room for them in the end. Now we know what
- 6:28Speaker 1: happens next. We know about the shepherds and the angels.
- 6:32Speaker 1: We know about the bright star and the arriving dignitaries,
- 6:36Speaker 1: the wise men. But did you notice, before any of
- 6:38Speaker 1: that happens, the whole story of the birth of Jesus
- 6:42Speaker 1: just drips with normalcy. I mean, it could be shopping
- 6:47Speaker 1: day at Macy's. It was just a normal, normal setting,
- 6:54Speaker 1: a regular couple, Mary and Joseph covered with row dust,
- 7:00Speaker 1: arrive in a simple town of Bethlehem, facing the common
- 7:05Speaker 1: problems a government census, a crowded hotel, no place to stay,
- 7:12Speaker 1: and finally they end up in a common stable. The
- 7:17Speaker 1: story of the Birth of Jesus begins in such commonness.
- 7:23Speaker 1: This isn't King Joseph, This isn't Queen Mary. They don't
- 7:30Speaker 1: have a tax exemption. They don't get special dispensation from
- 7:35Speaker 1: the government to stay home. Yes, God is within her belly,
- 7:39Speaker 1: but she receives no special permission. She's so normal. Joseph
- 7:50Speaker 1: is so normal. This isn't Joseph and Mary of the Bible.
- 7:57Speaker 1: This is norm and Norma of Normal Nazareth. They're just normal.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Normal has callouses like Joseph on his hands. Norma has
- 8:13Speaker 1: stretch marks like Mary. They're just normal. They don't have
- 8:21Speaker 1: a caravan to take them. They don't have banners, they
- 8:28Speaker 1: don't have servants. They're just normal. Normal like you, Normal
- 8:39Speaker 1: like me. Norma sings off key. Normal has to get work,
- 8:47Speaker 1: get to work early in the morning. Norma has more
- 8:50Speaker 1: than she can do, all the laundries piling up. Normal
- 8:53Speaker 1: has a cranky boss who wants him to take one
- 8:55Speaker 1: more trip before Christmas Norman Norma have learned the life
- 9:01Speaker 1: of being normal. Consequently, they don't receive a lot of
- 9:05Speaker 1: special exemption, special treatment. They've even heard what Joseph and
- 9:10Speaker 1: Mary heard when they arrived at the end. You know,
- 9:13Speaker 1: we're just a little crowded. We don't have room for you.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Had that been King Joseph and Queen Mary, that might
- 9:22Speaker 1: have heard a different response. And maybe you've heard that
- 9:28Speaker 1: statement too. We don't have room for you. We don't
- 9:31Speaker 1: have time for you, we don't have a job for you,
- 9:34Speaker 1: we don't have an opportunity for you. We don't have
- 9:37Speaker 1: space for you. And behind those words is the understanding.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Because you're so normal, just normal, You dwell that common
- 9:49Speaker 1: populace between rube and royalty, just common. That's why we
- 10:00Speaker 1: of this story. Because if Jesus chose a normal setting
- 10:07Speaker 1: and normal people through which to be born, dare we might,
- 10:12Speaker 1: dare we assume? Dare we dream that he might do
- 10:17Speaker 1: it again? You see, what if Jesus had in the
- 10:25Speaker 1: womb of Joseph, and I'm sorry, in the womb of Mary,
- 10:32Speaker 1: I know that much. What if Jesus in the womb
- 10:36Speaker 1: of Mary had shown up with a bunch of pomp
- 10:39Speaker 1: and circumstance. What if Joseph and Mary had been wearing
- 10:44Speaker 1: furs and riding in a limousine and a bunch of
- 10:48Speaker 1: bling bling and and muckety muck and and and celebration.
- 10:53Speaker 1: What if God had turned Bethlehem into something that looked
- 10:57Speaker 1: like Hollywood on Oscars night, and Joseph and Mary had
- 11:02Speaker 1: arrived on a red carpet, and all of the angels
- 11:06Speaker 1: had come and stepped down to interview Mary as she
- 11:10Speaker 1: walked into Bethlehem, and they all said, Oh, Mary, Mary,
- 11:14Speaker 1: you look just simply divine. That was a joke, divine.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Had Jesus arrived encircled in pomp and circumstance, we would
- 11:34Speaker 1: be reading his story thinking, my, what a wonderful way
- 11:40Speaker 1: God entered the world. But since Jesus chose to enter
- 11:48Speaker 1: the world cloaked in commonness, we commoners can read the
- 11:56Speaker 1: story and think, my, might he be willing to do
- 12:01Speaker 1: it again through us and in us, just common folk.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Sometimes I think that the real splendor of Christmas is
- 12:23Speaker 1: the lack thereof John, when he describes the coming of Christ,
- 12:33Speaker 1: comes at it from a different angle. Luke takes us
- 12:37Speaker 1: ground level. We follow Joseph and Mary into Bethlehem. John,
- 12:42Speaker 1: on the other hand, takes us up to heaven, and
- 12:46Speaker 1: with the pin of a poet, he begins in John
- 12:51Speaker 1: chapter one to describe the coming of Christ. I'm reading
- 12:55Speaker 1: in verses one through three of John one, and then
- 12:59Speaker 1: I'm going to jump down the verse fourteen he says,
- 13:03Speaker 1: in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
- 13:08Speaker 1: with God, and the Word was God. He was in
- 13:12Speaker 1: the beginning with God, and all things were made through him,
- 13:17Speaker 1: and without him nothing was made that was made. And
- 13:21Speaker 1: then verse fourteen, and the Word became flesh and dwelt
- 13:26Speaker 1: among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as
- 13:29Speaker 1: of the only begotten Father, full of grace and truth.
- 13:36Speaker 1: How does John begin his gospel the same way the
- 13:41Speaker 1: author of Genesis began the Bible. Have you ever noticed
- 13:47Speaker 1: in the beginning, in the beginning, God created the heavens
- 13:52Speaker 1: and the earth. Is this a coincidence or is this
- 13:57Speaker 1: John's intended message? In the beginning. In the beginning, the
- 14:05Speaker 1: one who Mary held, the babe in Mary's arms, the
- 14:09Speaker 1: baby in the manger, was in the beginning. He was
- 14:14Speaker 1: in the beginning. In the beginning, was Jesus. In the
- 14:17Speaker 1: beginning was the Word. The word was God, the word
- 14:21Speaker 1: was with God. And then verse three, he says all
- 14:24Speaker 1: things were made through him. All things were made through him,
- 14:29Speaker 1: not by him. Did you notice there's a difference. If
- 14:33Speaker 1: all things were made by him, then he would take
- 14:36Speaker 1: things and assemble them pre existent things, assemble them into something. No,
- 14:40Speaker 1: all things were made through him, which suggests he took
- 14:43Speaker 1: nothing and made it into something. He became the very
- 14:47Speaker 1: force in which things began to exist. He didn't just
- 14:51Speaker 1: reassemble that which existed. He, by divining a fiat, called
- 14:56Speaker 1: into existence something out of nothing. In the beginning was
- 15:01Speaker 1: the word. This Jesus was in the beginning, and all
- 15:04Speaker 1: things were made through him. He was we might call
- 15:07Speaker 1: him the genesis word. Paul said, he was the first
- 15:11Speaker 1: born over all creation. Paul said, he's the one Lord,
- 15:15Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, through whom God made everything and through whom
- 15:19Speaker 1: we have been given life. So here's the picture of Jesus,
- 15:23Speaker 1: the one who was in the beginning, the one through
- 15:26Speaker 1: whom everything was made. And then John says that word
- 15:32Speaker 1: became flesh. He became one of us. What no theologian
- 15:39Speaker 1: could imagine, what no rabbi ever dreamed. Jesus did God
- 15:45Speaker 1: became flesh and he dwelt among us. He became immenu
- 15:52Speaker 1: l God with us. Remember the promise of the Angel. Behold,
- 15:58Speaker 1: the Virgin shall be with child and Barra as son,
- 16:01Speaker 1: and they shall call his name what Emmanuel, which is
- 16:08Speaker 1: translated God with us Imanu in Hebrew means with us
- 16:17Speaker 1: l e l is abbreviated form of eloheen, the name
- 16:23Speaker 1: for a name for God. So Jesus comes as the
- 16:27Speaker 1: with us God emon u l, the with us God,
- 16:33Speaker 1: not the near us God, or the around us God,
- 16:36Speaker 1: or somewhere in the zip code God, but the with
- 16:40Speaker 1: us God. The artist became a paint drop on his
- 16:47Speaker 1: own canvas, the potter became mud on his own wheel.
- 16:56Speaker 1: God became a fetus and placed himself in the most
- 17:03Speaker 1: normal of circumstances, in the womb of a girl, covered
- 17:09Speaker 1: himself in placenta, and descended through the birth canal into
- 17:15Speaker 1: the calloused hands of a Jewish carpenter. Now why is
- 17:20Speaker 1: this important? Why is this important? Because if God would
- 17:29Speaker 1: become flesh and dwell among them and be the Emmanuel,
- 17:35Speaker 1: we can believe that God is with us even now,
- 17:43Speaker 1: and that not for a moment, not for a moment,
- 17:48Speaker 1: dare you think that you are too normal, too ordinary,
- 17:54Speaker 1: too common to miss out on the presence of God?
- 18:00Speaker 1: And that God has not chosen to limit his presence
- 18:04Speaker 1: to sanctuaries and saints that are in a stained glass window,
- 18:10Speaker 1: but that God has chosen to come among the normal
- 18:15Speaker 1: people who are just crazy enough to believe he will normal.
- 18:23Speaker 1: I don't think Joseph and Mary had the advantage that
- 18:27Speaker 1: we parents have today, and that is the advantage of
- 18:32Speaker 1: ultrasound technology. But many parents today, including Deanlon and me,
- 18:39Speaker 1: when our three daughters were born, we wanted to get
- 18:43Speaker 1: an advanced glimpse of our child, and so we had
- 18:52Speaker 1: an ultrasound taken. You know what that is to get
- 18:56Speaker 1: a picture of the baby. It's not much of a pickure, sure,
- 19:00Speaker 1: but you know, there's no waving and no smiling. It
- 19:05Speaker 1: looks more like a Doppler radar storm forecast, which it
- 19:10Speaker 1: may be. And if at least we had to have somebody,
- 19:18Speaker 1: it's probably better. Now, this was years ago, the first
- 19:21Speaker 1: two daughters born in Brazil. We had to have the
- 19:24Speaker 1: doctor help us out and look at the picture and
- 19:29Speaker 1: you know, get the interpretation. And he started pointing things out.
- 19:32Speaker 1: He said well, there's a leg, and oh, there's another leg,
- 19:36Speaker 1: and there's a hand, and there's a pierced nose and
- 19:41Speaker 1: oh no that was a later photo. Sorry again, I'm confused.
- 19:49Speaker 1: But the words we wanted to hear were the words
- 19:52Speaker 1: he said. At the end. He backed away from the
- 19:55Speaker 1: picture and he said, well, everything looks said the same
- 20:02Speaker 1: thing to you, normal, it looks normal. Allow this to
- 20:09Speaker 1: hit you for just a moment. Had Joseph and Mary
- 20:14Speaker 1: had an ultra sound conducted on Jesus, the Son of God,
- 20:19Speaker 1: the doctor would have looked at everything and said head
- 20:23Speaker 1: torso legs hand, well looks normal. Normal. A normal baby
- 20:35Speaker 1: is going to be born. But you will call him Emmanuel,
- 20:41Speaker 1: because rapped in the cloak of commonness is God, and
- 20:49Speaker 1: God is with us. He loves to come to normal people.
- 20:58Speaker 1: He loves to come through normal circumstances. In fact, I
- 21:03Speaker 1: dare say, if you will listen, you'll begin to hear
- 21:06Speaker 1: the music around you of the with us God. Why
- 21:14Speaker 1: would he do this? The only reason that makes sense
- 21:18Speaker 1: to me is this one, and that is he must
- 21:21Speaker 1: really think highly of you. He must think you're something special.
- 21:31Speaker 1: I mean, he must really be fond of you. If
- 21:40Speaker 1: he is so willing to come into your world, to
- 21:44Speaker 1: talk to you, to be with you, to dress like you,
- 21:47Speaker 1: to appear like you, to become flesh so that someday
- 21:51Speaker 1: you can go into his world. He must really think
- 21:55Speaker 1: highly of you. Have you ever thought about what that
- 22:03Speaker 1: journey was like for God to become flesh? I know,
- 22:07Speaker 1: John reduces it down to a sentence. He says that
- 22:10Speaker 1: the word became flesh. But that is an immense journey,
- 22:14Speaker 1: isn't it. What would that be like for the God
- 22:17Speaker 1: of creation to become a resident of Nazareth? In a
- 22:21Speaker 1: carpenter's home on the campus of the Crownridge On the
- 22:30Speaker 1: Crownridge campus of the Oak Hills Church, if you notice
- 22:35Speaker 1: you might see some black tailed squirrels. There are quite
- 22:41Speaker 1: a few families of them around here, so many that
- 22:45Speaker 1: sometimes we include them in our weekend attendance figures. When
- 22:53Speaker 1: my office was on this campus, I make good friends
- 22:57Speaker 1: with a family of black tailed squirrels because right outside
- 23:05Speaker 1: my office window they occupied, and I guess they still do.
- 23:10Speaker 1: They occupied a tree, They made a home out of
- 23:14Speaker 1: a tree, and I could anytime I looked out my
- 23:17Speaker 1: window it seemed they were up and down that tree,
- 23:20Speaker 1: up and down that tree, out and about, in and out,
- 23:22Speaker 1: up and around that tree. I really liked those squirrels.
- 23:27Speaker 1: We became good friends. Some days I watched them all
- 23:31Speaker 1: day long. I didn't do any work. I just sat
- 23:32Speaker 1: there and I just watched the squirrels up and down.
- 23:36Speaker 1: One day, I think one of them winked at me.
- 23:40Speaker 1: I winked back. We hadn't pet names for each other.
- 23:42Speaker 1: It was a very kind and cordial relationship. We were
- 23:46Speaker 1: good neighbors. But never once. You're gonna find this hard
- 23:50Speaker 1: to believe. But never once did I consider or wish
- 23:55Speaker 1: that I could become a squirrel. I don't really like don't.
- 24:01Speaker 1: But never once did I offer a prayer. God, make
- 24:04Speaker 1: me a squirrel, Give me a long black furry tail,
- 24:11Speaker 1: Make me little with tiny sharp teeth and claws. I
- 24:15Speaker 1: never once prayed that. You know why, because I saw
- 24:20Speaker 1: what squirrels ate. Do you know what squirrels eat? Squirrels
- 24:27Speaker 1: never go to waterburger, Squirrels never have steak. Squirrels don't
- 24:33Speaker 1: know what bluebell ice cream is. They eat these dirty,
- 24:38Speaker 1: yucky nuts and that's all they eat. It's pathetic. And
- 24:45Speaker 1: do you know where squirrels live? They live in a
- 24:47Speaker 1: hole in the tree. You think I'm gonna give up
- 24:50Speaker 1: what we get to live in for their world. You
- 24:53Speaker 1: think for a second, I'd give up the Texas sky
- 24:56Speaker 1: or the Texas prairie, or I'd give up a chance
- 24:59Speaker 1: to see Grand can or the Pacific Ocean, and confine
- 25:02Speaker 1: my life to just a little hole in a tree.
- 25:05Speaker 1: Heaven forbid. And they don't know what they think. The
- 25:10Speaker 1: whole world is just about five hundred square yards between
- 25:15Speaker 1: a parking lot and a sidewalk. They never go beyond that.
- 25:19Speaker 1: I would ask them go venture out in life, explore things,
- 25:23Speaker 1: see the world, and they look at me with these
- 25:25Speaker 1: beady eyes, like there's no other world. I don't want
- 25:29Speaker 1: to become a squirrel? And how far of a journey
- 25:32Speaker 1: would that be for me to become one of them?
- 25:37Speaker 1: As soon as you find an answer to that question,
- 25:41Speaker 1: multiply it by about a billion, and you'll have a
- 25:46Speaker 1: fraction of what it meant for the Lord Jesus to
- 25:53Speaker 1: become flesh and dwell among us, For he who is
- 26:00Speaker 1: never bound by time, to suddenly live in a world
- 26:04Speaker 1: that is marked by time, For he who could be
- 26:07Speaker 1: anywhere at any time, to voluntarily reduce himself for thirty
- 26:12Speaker 1: three years, to as far as his feet would go.
- 26:18Speaker 1: For he who is never tired to fall asleep, He
- 26:22Speaker 1: who is never hungry to look for something to eat,
- 26:26Speaker 1: to feel everything that you and I would feel, so
- 26:30Speaker 1: that we would believe that he really is a Manuel.
- 26:36Speaker 3: God with us.
- 26:39Speaker 1: God with us. God is with us. I'm not sure
- 26:45Speaker 1: you're believing me. God is with us. He's with you
- 26:54Speaker 1: in your sickness. He's with you in your finances. He's
- 27:01Speaker 1: with you in your fears. And on those nights that
- 27:05Speaker 1: you awaken and your heart is beating from some indiscernible fear,
- 27:11Speaker 1: God is with you. And on those days that you're
- 27:15Speaker 1: frustrated by the traffic or aggravated by the boss, God
- 27:20Speaker 1: is with you.
- 27:21Speaker 3: He is with you.
- 27:22Speaker 1: The one who made the stars is with you. God
- 27:26Speaker 1: is with you. You know what that is? That is
- 27:30Speaker 1: present tense? Isn't it not? God was with you, or
- 27:35Speaker 1: God will be with you, or God could be with you,
- 27:38Speaker 1: or God would have been with you. If but God
- 27:43Speaker 1: is with you, that's called present tense. That means God
- 27:47Speaker 1: is present. So don't be tense. You can relax. God
- 27:56Speaker 1: is with you, besides you, ahead of you, behind you,
- 28:03Speaker 1: above you. Next week I'll show you how God is
- 28:07Speaker 1: in you. God is in you, So are you normal? Congratulations.
- 28:16Speaker 1: God comes to the world through people like you. And
- 28:21Speaker 1: if you'll listen carefully, even in the most normal of moments,
- 28:26Speaker 1: listen carefully, you might hear the music and this God
- 28:34Speaker 1: with us. God wants to talk to us, and he
- 28:39Speaker 1: wants to.
- 28:40Speaker 2: M hmmm mm hmmm, h m hm hm m hm.
- 29:17Speaker 1: Ne ne ne ne ne ne the s a you.
- 32:57Speaker 3: You don't have the steak close. As long as you're
- 33:04Speaker 3: somewhere out there, that's enough for me.
- 33:14Speaker 4: I don't need to hold you near me, don't need
- 33:17Speaker 4: promises to keep just the thought that you are breathing
- 33:23Speaker 4: somewhere in.
- 33:24Speaker 3: This world I see.
- 33:27Speaker 4: Even if I'm not beside you, even if you never know,
- 33:34Speaker 4: there's a quiet kind of comfort just.
- 33:37Speaker 3: In knowing you still glow. I don't need forever. I
- 33:48Speaker 3: just need you to exist.
- 33:52Speaker 5: You don't have to stay with me.
- 33:56Speaker 1: You don't have to feel the same.
- 33:59Speaker 6: Just as long is your still out there, calling softly
- 34:04Speaker 6: through my days.
