00:00And as we sing and say, all glory belongs to our Lord.
00:06Brother, that must be in our hearts.
00:09Glory to our God, as we often say, God willing.
00:17God willing, but I'm telling you seriously, I hear a lot of people saying it.
00:23And no, he says it out of superstition because he's afraid it might happen to him.
00:26God willing, but he doesn't live according to God's will.
00:33This is also the case when we say "to God be the glory."
00:36We have to experience it, understand that this is glory.
00:40And if we have anything, it is because we received it from God.
00:42Amen.
00:43All.
00:44And as beings, the capacity to think in the mind, was formed and created by God.
00:52And we don't even talk about spiritual gifts after that.
00:54But that's a quality we have.
00:57God put it in us, He did not create it in His image and likeness.
01:00And we belong to Him.
01:02And from Him we received it.
01:03In fact, before we are born, we don't even decide where we are going to be born.
01:08Nothing up to par.
01:10And God decided it for us.
01:12So, do we want the glory of the Lord or not?
01:16Amen.
01:16And we have to live it this way, brother.
01:20Amen.
01:20Amen.
01:20Amen to the word.
01:22Lord, we thank you for this afternoon, Lord.
01:25Praise be to your name, Lord.
01:26Yours is the glory, Lord.
01:29Because you are God and we are your creation.
01:32We are made in your special magnetism and likeness by you, Lord.
01:37Thank you for this afternoon, Lord.
01:39Lord, help me, Lord, to understand your word and then to apply your word to our lives, Lord.
01:48Let us practice it, Lord, and let it be food for our soul, Lord.
01:53Help me, Lord, for we need you, Lord, and we acknowledge it, Lord.
02:00Speak to me with your word and the truth.
02:03We ask this in the name of your Son.
02:05Amen.
02:06Amen.
02:09Amen.
02:13Well, brother, here we are before Christmas, before Christmas comes, and that's why I'm doing this sermon with that purpose.
02:26And the title of the sermon is, from the manger to the cross, the purpose of Christmas.
02:35From the manger to the cross, the purpose of Christmas.
02:41Micah, chapter 5, verse 2.
02:45Micah, chapter 5, verse 2, tells us,
02:53But you, Bethlehem, in Prata, though you are small among the clans of Judah,
03:00From you will come forth one who will be ruler over Israel,
03:04And their goings forth are from the beginning, from the days of eternity.
03:09But you, Bethlehem, in Prata, are small among the clans of Judah.
03:20Brothers, we all need to think about Christmas,
03:24What does Christmas really mean to us?
03:26Because we know that in the world, normally, Christmas is that atmosphere, lights, food, the child, the manger, and it stays there.
03:39He eats, he drinks, and everything he does goes against the true meaning of Christmas.
03:45So the world celebrates Christmas differently.
03:48In the popular mind, Jesus remains just that, a little boy who came,
03:52And how beautiful is the child who was born, the Virgin, and she puts on a carol, she sings it,
03:58And after he sings that carol, he puts on another one, and the other one sings about drinking.
04:05And what, is he going to get drunk?
04:08So, imagine, when the Bible forbids getting drunk,
04:12So, what does Christmas mean to us?
04:15Because Christmas is not an end in itself, it is the beginning, it is the start of God's purpose.
04:24It is the beginning of God's purpose for which Christ came and was incarnated in this world.
04:31Christmas is the beginning, but it is not the center.
04:36He came, he was born, and he came with a purpose.
04:39Christ became incarnate for the purpose,
04:41And the purpose certainly wasn't that we eat Christmas food until we're almost sick,
04:48that we get drunk, that we go out, that I burn you against God,
04:52And Christmas, and we move on after Christmas.
04:56We spend a lot of money, recalls, on things,
05:00And that's it, that's Christmas, but that's reality, Christmas.
05:04The road that begins in Bethlehem has a clear destination, which is Golgotha, brother.
05:13where the Son goes so far as to give his life for us,
05:18where the child grows up, and the purpose is to get there,
05:22and give his life for us.
05:24So, how do we see it?
05:25How do we see Jesus at this moment?
05:27Because Jesus is no longer a child.
05:30Jesus is the King of Kings, the Lord of lords,
05:33And as we saw on Sunday,
05:34He sustains the universe with the power of his word,
05:37to one.
05:38Is that right?
05:39How do we remember?
05:41It's a clear fact that at Christmas,
05:43We remember what God embodied, came into this world,
05:46And we celebrate, we are happy in our hearts,
05:49We give thanks and glory to God,
05:51because of what God has done for us,
05:52But we know that the Lord of Heaven is with us.
05:56And this King of Kings, the Lord of lords,
05:58He's not a child anymore, first of all, he's not a child.
06:03He grew up, he preached, he died for us on the cross,
06:09He rose again, and has gone to the right hand of the Father,
06:13and will have it for us.
06:14But now He is, He is the King of Kings,
06:17The Lord of lords, and He governs, and He sustains,
06:20with the power of his word, all that exists.
06:22So, we first need to identify Jesus,
06:25And what is Christmas to us?
06:29Because Christ came to Gorgotha to give his life for us.
06:33And we see that the beginning of Christ's coming, brother,
06:36He is humble.
06:38Christ could have been born in Rome,
06:41Rome, the great city, the capital,
06:44the Roman Empire, the strongest that existed at the time,
06:46He could be born there.
06:47But God chooses that his son will not be born in Rome,
06:51but he will be born in Bethlehem.
06:53And there, in the beginning, he tells us,
06:56But you, Bethlehem, are a small part to be among the family of Judah.
07:00And here the Holy Spirit says, little one,
07:02And she tells us, of course, it's small.
07:04We're not going to take all the glory.
07:06Glory to God.
07:07God does great things with small things.
07:10God makes things happen where there is nothing.
07:13He has the power.
07:14The glory belongs to God and not to us.
07:16It's not in Rome, it's not a Roman empire.
07:19It contributed nothing to humankind itself.
07:21God is the center of the Gospel.
07:24God is the center of Christmas.
07:27It is His power, His glory, His humility,
07:30He comes with humility.
07:31God becomes incarnate in that world with humility.
07:34He was born in a manger in Bethlehem.
07:38No, Rome, in the capital of the greatest empire that existed at that time.
07:42So, in the beginning, he is humble in Bethlehem.
07:45God's eternal plan begins in Bethlehem.
07:48Begin with humility.
07:51Micah 5.2 declares that Messiah was born in a small and insignificant place.
07:57And it's true.
07:57Because Bethlehem, brothers, had between 300 and 1,000 inhabitants at that time.
08:02300 and 1,000 inhabitants 8 kilometers from Jerusalem, on the outskirts of Jerusalem.
08:09Between 300.
08:10Let's read a little about that; I have it written down here.
08:14About Bethlehem.
08:15Bethlehem means house of bread.
08:22House of bread.
08:23God is the bread that will come from heaven.
08:25In Hebrew, Bet-Leem.
08:27This name reminds us of abundance, God's provision.
08:32And it takes on a special meaning when we think about the birth of Jesus.
08:37Because God, as Carmen said, does everything with a purpose.
08:41All.
08:41He is not a God of vanity.
08:43Everything he does.
08:44He doesn't do things for entertainment.
08:46Because God is bored.
08:47And I do something, I don't even know what I'm doing.
08:49God never gets bored.
08:50No.
08:51Never.
08:51He is God.
08:52Everything he does has a purpose.
08:53He has everything well calculated and well done.
08:56Because He is God.
08:58Bethlehem in the Testament.
09:00In Genesis 35.19.
09:03Rachel, wife of Ekop, died and was buried on the way to Bethlehem.
09:07The Book of Ruth.
09:08This city was the setting for the story of Ruth and Bos.
09:13Ancestor of King David.
09:15Do you remember?
09:15She's like Ruth.
09:17From Ruth and Bos.
09:18In 1 Samuel 16.
09:20The prophet Samuel united David as king in Bethlehem.
09:23Becoming the city of David.
09:26In the house of David.
09:28To realize the event that is happening in Bethlehem.
09:32Very tiny.
09:33A village.
09:33About what's happening in that village.
09:36How God begins his work.
09:39Ancestor.
09:39Start with something insignificant.
09:41Something small.
09:42To demonstrate His power and His glory.
09:46And that the plan is God's.
09:47The gospel is from God.
09:48And it is by the grace of God.
09:50Now in the New Testament.
09:54In the bricks of Matthew and Luke.
09:56Nothing to do with Jesus being born in Bethlehem.
09:58Fulfilling the prophecy of Micah.
09:59What we read first.
10:02The birth of Jesus in a humble place.
10:05It shows that God draws near to everyone.
10:08Especially simple.
10:10It's coming towards us.
10:11We are little brothers.
10:14We are nothing compared to what God is.
10:16And He approaches us in a simple way.
10:20And with humility.
10:21Remember.
10:22In Philippians.
10:23In chapter 2.
10:24Starting from verse 5 or 6.
10:27Have in yourselves the same mindset as you had with Christ Jesus.
10:30That being His form is God.
10:32He didn't go near that.
10:34He did not divest himself, brothers.
10:37And that there was a way to serve.
10:39Of a man.
10:39He huffed and died.
10:40And death on a cross.
10:41This is how God approached us.
10:43God drew near to us.
10:44Handing over his son to die on a cross.
10:48So that we may have eternal communion with God.
10:51And the work begins in Bethlehem.
10:53In an insignificant village.
10:55Between 300 and 1000 inhabitants.
10:58And he says.
10:58It continues here.
10:59It was a small village.
11:03With probably less than 1000 inhabitants.
11:06Its inhabitants were peasants.
11:08Pastors.
11:09And living simply.
11:12He was a peasant, a shepherd.
11:14Some even lived in caves.
11:16That was Bethlehem.
11:17That's where Jesus was born.
11:18Imagine.
11:19The God of the universe.
11:21It's crazy, bro.
11:22When you start to think.
11:23The God who created all things.
11:26He was born in Bethlehem.
11:28In that village.
11:30And he came with that purpose.
11:31To give his life for us.
11:34And to die on a cross.
11:35And thus restore our relationship with God the Father.
11:39With the Trinity.
11:41Brother.
11:41But in the nation of Bethlehem.
11:42This is how the work of God begins.
11:44And that's how we see it.
11:46That God is all-powerful.
11:49As for salvation, brother.
11:51God doesn't need it.
11:54He can do it alone.
11:55So.
11:56Messiah.
11:57To be born in a small and insignificant place.
11:59Bethlehem represents the way God.
12:00It bursts onto the scene.
12:02In a humble and simple way.
12:04This is how the Lord comes.
12:06In our world.
12:08It is embodied.
12:10And it is coming among us.
12:12It doesn't come in an empire.
12:13In a palace.
12:14With a great king.
12:14Like meat.
12:15Our meat.
12:16I think that's how I would do it.
12:18The king of the universe.
12:19No?
12:19He has to be born in a big palace.
12:22There are a lot of doctors.
12:24Praise.
12:25There are a lot of things.
12:26And that God is born in the great empire.
12:29But not God.
12:31God is born in a manger.
12:33It is embodied.
12:34Because He is eternal.
12:35He says it in Miquel.
12:37It takes place in a village.
12:39And he is born in a manger, brother.
12:42Tremendous.
12:43As the Lord begins the work.
12:44And it teaches us simplicity.
12:45Because we as Christians.
12:47God tells us.
12:48We're for sale.
12:50In simplicity of heart.
12:52And He.
12:53He demands it.
12:54But he proved it to us.
12:55Because he was born in a manger.
13:00Us.
13:01How we act as human beings.
13:06Then in Luke 2.7.
13:08Jesus is born in a manger.
13:09You can't.
13:10It didn't open.
13:11Because I'm going to keep going.
13:12And in Philippians.
13:13Christ emptied himself.
13:15And taking the form of a man.
13:16And he humbled himself.
13:17And he speaks in the context of augmented reality.
13:20In Philippians.
13:21Because before saying that.
13:23He says we shouldn't have any arguments.
13:24Jealousy.
13:25Among us.
13:26And it's coming.
13:27And he tells us about that.
13:27Let us walk with mercy.
13:29Let us put our brothers and sisters before ourselves.
13:31As Pepe said.
13:32It's true.
13:33Look at the Bible.
13:34No website tells us to love ourselves.
13:37Because God takes us for granted.
13:39That we already love each other.
13:40Because that's what sin is.
13:42This is how sin works on us.
13:43That's why, in order to be able to love others.
13:45We have to deny ourselves.
13:47And putting others above ourselves.
13:50Because as for the meat.
13:52We're already at this point.
13:53And nobody needs to tell you that.
13:55Love yourself.
13:56Because you're already doing it.
13:59Then God calls us to humility.
14:01Let's give ourselves over to the rest.
14:04And so that we can dedicate ourselves to the rest.
14:06As Christ gave himself up.
14:08As Christ gave himself up.
14:10Then He had to come to Himself as God.
14:14But we have to get to our own flesh.
14:16To our meat.
14:18Jesus says so.
14:19He tells us clearly.
14:20We need to get there.
14:21If we want to follow it.
14:22We need to get there.
14:24Put to death what is lacking in you.
14:26He tells us.
14:27That's it.
14:28It is one of them.
14:29The biggest one that's in the grove.
14:30It is pride.
14:32It is the center of the meat.
14:34He's a brother's pride.
14:35The center.
14:36The greatest thing that is in man.
14:38It is pride.
14:38And that's what the Bible says.
14:40So.
14:40A humble person.
14:42She is not proud.
14:45But if a person is proud.
14:47It means he's not humble.
14:48That's clear.
14:49And for that we have to act according to Jesus.
14:52That doesn't mean Christmas.
14:53Because Christmas is called birth.
14:56Jesus was born.
14:57And as we saw in the title.
14:59It was born with a purpose.
15:01From Bethlehem.
15:02To go to Golgotha.
15:05But because he did it.
15:06For the love of us, brother.
15:12Then we also see.
15:13Like ourselves.
15:15The way God deals.
15:17As I told you before.
15:17God doesn't need great things.
15:20To do great things.
15:22Because He Himself is great.
15:23It doesn't need a very intelligent person.
15:26To preach.
15:29It doesn't need a person.
15:31With a lot of study.
15:32So that we may preach.
15:35He appeared out of nowhere.
15:37He does great things.
15:38Because the universe itself created it.
15:40Through his power.
15:42Through his word.
15:43The scripture says.
15:44He says it came from nowhere.
15:45God declares and it is done.
15:47That's how it started.
15:48In Bethlehem.
15:49Once insignificant.
15:51And a manger.
15:52He began his work.
15:53And with us too.
15:54Look.
15:55Look.
15:55In First Corinthians.
15:56Chapter 1.
15:57Verse 26.
16:00Up to 29.
16:011 Corinthians.
16:031 Corinthians.
16:041 Corinthians.
16:05First Corinthians.
16:06Chapter 1.
16:07Verse 26.
16:08Says.
16:08Well, look.
16:09Look, brothers.
16:10Your vocation.
16:12You are not many wise people.
16:13According to the meat.
16:15Nor many powerful people.
16:16Nor many nobles.
16:17But the fools of the world.
16:20God chose.
16:21To shame the wise men.
16:23Brother.
16:24The fools of the world.
16:25God chose.
16:26To shame the wise men.
16:29A manger.
16:30God chose.
16:31To come into this world.
16:33A small village.
16:35God chose.
16:36To come into this world.
16:39And now.
16:40God chose.
16:41Foolish hearts.
16:42So that he may dwell in it.
16:44And that it transforms him.
16:45He realizes it.
16:46Because when he speaks.
16:47How foolish.
16:48They are fools.
16:49We are fools.
16:50Then the heart is foolish.
16:52Then God chose.
16:53To fools.
16:55To embarrass.
16:56To those who consider themselves wise.
16:57But according to this world.
16:59Because in reality.
16:59They are not wise.
17:00Because remember.
17:01That the beginning of wisdom.
17:03It is the fear of God.
17:04Any human being.
17:06May he be very wise.
17:07Regarding taking action.
17:08In the things here.
17:09But if he does not fear God.
17:11And he doesn't show it.
17:12In practice.
17:13That he fears it.
17:14He is not wise.
17:15Brother.
17:15Because their soul will be lost.
17:17And it does him no good.
17:18Everything he has done.
17:19All his wisdom.
17:20Everything he has done.
17:21Everything he's done to her.
17:22In this world.
17:23It's no use to him.
17:24And in itself.
17:25Then he was not wise.
17:27Then God chose.
17:28To fools.
17:30To embarrass.
17:31To the wise ones.
17:33But wise.
17:33According to this world.
17:35And the weakness of the world.
17:37He's like God.
17:38To embarrass.
17:39To the strong.
17:40To the weak.
17:41Weak.
17:43Discarded.
17:43Those I was thinking about.
17:44It's useless.
17:45Not at all.
17:46Well, there's nothing to be done.
17:47With that.
17:48That society.
17:49And to those people.
17:49It's no longer worth anything.
17:51That's there.
17:51In that corner.
17:52Because it doesn't work.
17:53And so.
17:54What is useless.
17:55God.
17:55It does something useful.
17:57And where God dwells.
17:59In the heart.
18:00The glory of God is visible.
18:02That is to say.
18:03In peace.
18:04Where God lives.
18:05For his is the glory.
18:07But we watched, brother.
18:08That God chooses.
18:09God chooses.
18:10God is transformative.
18:12Because one of the purposes.
18:13The biggest Christmas stars.
18:14It is the glory of God.
18:17It is the glory of God.
18:19It is the glory of God.
18:20Then we see that to the weak.
18:23And to fools.
18:25And the vileness of the world.
18:27And the despised.
18:28God chose.
18:29And what is not for.
18:30What it is not.
18:32To discard what is.
18:34So that no one may boast in his presence.
18:36Glory to God.
18:38To what that society.
18:39Disposal.
18:41Disparagement.
18:42I thought it was useless.
18:45And in many things.
18:46Yeah.
18:47It's true.
18:48They lived.
18:49Bad things.
18:50They did bad things.
18:51And he deserved it.
18:52Many times.
18:53When people.
18:54He wasn't throwing it out.
18:54Because they did bad things.
18:56He stole.
18:57He was lying.
18:57I don't know.
18:57Each one did what they were doing.
18:59You know?
18:59In practice.
19:00But God.
19:01To shame the world.
19:02And to demonstrate his glory.
19:03And let no one boast about it.
19:05People like that.
19:06Despised by the world.
19:07Around the world.
19:08That they had sinned.
19:10And many things.
19:11They saw him on top.
19:12These are the consequences.
19:13From their decisions.
19:15Of his wickedness.
19:15Of his sin.
19:16But God.
19:16He had mercy on them.
19:18And from there.
19:19He lifted them up.
19:19To demonstrate that he has power.
19:21And his is the glory.
19:22Amen.
19:23And not ours.
19:24But yes, brother.
19:25We have to acknowledge our sins.
19:27That often.
19:28He was greatly despised.
19:29For society.
19:31Because we were going.
19:32And we practiced.
19:33Bad things.
19:34But despite all that.
19:37God loved us.
19:38When I was weak.
19:39And dead.
19:40Our crime and sin.
19:42And he gave his life for us.
19:43And as it says here.
19:44Go.
19:44The weak one.
19:45God doesn't need it.
19:47As stated before.
19:47A big heart.
19:49A great sage.
19:50So that.
19:51His gospel.
19:52Be predicate.
19:53And let it show.
19:54The glory of God.
19:55Within us.
19:56Because it is the character of God.
19:58Within us.
19:58The character of God.
20:00That we are transforming.
20:02By the power of God.
20:03And each time from one person.
20:04I don't know.
20:05In the sin he lived.
20:07In the condition that I was in.
20:08God discovered it.
20:09And now for the rest.
20:10He sees it.
20:11In the transformation of God.
20:12In his life.
20:13In the power of God.
20:14How things have changed.
20:15In the area of.
20:16For example.
20:17If I was an adult.
20:18He is no longer an adult.
20:19If he was drunk.
20:20He's not a drunk anymore.
20:21Yeah.
20:21Yeah.
20:21He had a sexual practice.
20:23Unnatural.
20:24He no longer practices it.
20:25And so on.
20:26So many things.
20:27It's already evident in his life.
20:29That all.
20:29God empowered him.
20:31And he won.
20:32Because he who is in Christ.
20:33He is more than a victor.
20:34Because?
20:35By the power of God.
20:36That's what we need to emphasize.
20:38It doesn't need big things.
20:40God.
20:41Because he is great.
20:42In itself.
20:43And we see how he chooses.
20:45Just as he chose Bethlehem.
20:46The manger.
20:47Choose hearts.
20:50Fools.
20:51Despised.
20:52That there is nothing.
20:53That you think it's useless.
20:55And God does great things.
20:57With the.
20:59Because it says so here.
21:00So that no one may boast in his presence.
21:03As we give to Him in the glory of God.
21:05We can't say.
21:06Mister.
21:06What a capacity.
21:07Do you remember when I was a student?
21:09And she read.
21:10And I realized it.
21:11And my effort.
21:12And what he did.
21:14So that no one can boast.
21:16If you're honest.
21:17And biblical.
21:19There is nothing to boast about before God.
21:21Because if I say so.
21:23I know about writing.
21:24It's because the spirit enlightened me.
21:27The spirit enlightened me.
21:29If I say so.
21:30That I have the ability to retain.
21:32God must give me ability.
21:34And there is nothing.
21:35I have done it.
21:36So that I can boast.
21:38In the presence of God.
21:39For his is the glory.
21:41Because that is the purpose of Christmas.
21:43Brother.
21:43So that God may be glorified.
21:45And we're going to read the verse.
21:48And we're going to see it.
21:52Christmas reminds us.
21:54That God initiates great works.
21:55In small places.
21:58God.
21:59He does great works.
22:01In small places.
22:03Nativity scene.
22:04Manger.
22:04In weak hearts.
22:06Despised.
22:07Foolish hearts.
22:08God does great works.
22:10Brother.
22:10How wonderful.
22:11It is the Lord.
22:11And so it goes.
22:12Break all the fires.
22:14From the way of thinking.
22:15From around the world.
22:15That's why it says there in Corinth.
22:17No.
22:17It is not wisdom according to the world.
22:19He is wise according to the world.
22:21That interprets reality differently.
22:23And God comes from that world.
22:25In a manger.
22:26It comes in a path.
22:26A small village.
22:27Whether it was something human.
22:28As I said before.
22:29I would.
22:30Oh.
22:30With trumpet.
22:32My God.
22:33God no.
22:34God comes differently.
22:35That's why God.
22:35It always surprises us.
22:37In their way of acting.
22:39It's God, brother.
22:40His thoughts.
22:41They are different from our thoughts.
22:44And for whom too.
22:45We see it clearly.
22:46And also the verse that provides it.
22:48So that the glory may not belong to men.
22:50It also says so in Ephesians 2.
22:52In verse 8.
22:54Says.
22:54By grace I am saved.
22:55Out of fear of faith.
22:56This is not yours.
22:57It is a gift from God.
22:58And further down it says.
22:59So that she can break it down.
23:00Also.
23:00Because it is not by work.
23:01Says.
23:02So that no one may boast.
23:04So that no one may boast.
23:07So.
23:09In small places.
23:10So that His glory may be exalted.
23:12For the glory of God.
23:14Because it is.
23:15It's me.
23:16And it is not God.
23:17Then the glory is mine.
23:19But if it is God.
23:20And it's not me.
23:21His is the glory.
23:21Then, so that his glory may be exalted.
23:23God does great things in small places.
23:27So that the power of God may be seen.
23:29It's not seen in our lives.
23:31It's visible in our lives.
23:32It's a reality.
23:33And it says so in Luke 2:14.
23:36Luke 2:14
23:39Confirm that message.
23:40Says.
23:40Glory to God in the highest.
23:43Glory to God in the highest.
23:45And on earth peace.
23:46Goodwill towards men.
23:50Glory to God in the highest.
23:52This is how Christmas begins, brother.
23:54Glory to God.
23:56Glory to God.
23:57No to human beings.
23:58Glory to God in the highest.
24:00And on earth peace.
24:02Goodwill towards men.
24:04God sends his son.
24:05To die on our cross.
24:07Goodwill towards us.
24:08There I entrust my son to believe in himself.
24:10And through him to be saved.
24:12And the glory is mine.
24:14And that's the Christmas we should forget.
24:16For us.
24:17In reality.
24:19Every day.
24:20It's Christmas.
24:20And we have to remember that every day.
24:23That Christ died for our sins.
24:25And he paid the price.
24:26And he came to live in that world.
24:27For that purpose.
24:28And there's Christmas.
24:29A new life in our hearts.
24:31Being born again is Christmas.
24:33We were born again, brother.
24:35It's a new beginning.
24:36A new life.
24:37A new beginning.
24:39In the light of God's truth.
24:40According to God's purposes.
24:41God did not create brothers.
24:44To live for His glory.
24:46And praise.
24:48To get to know it firsthand.
24:49And enjoy it.
24:51And we didn't.
24:52God gave me that brother.
24:53To glorify God.
24:55God gave me my mind.
24:56To glorify God.
24:57God gave me my mouth.
24:58To glorify God.
25:00Everything that God created.
25:02In me.
25:02It is to glorify him.
25:04So.
25:05What happened?
25:05When man speaks of sin.
25:07It goes the opposite way.
25:07And he doesn't use it.
25:11Everything that is within us.
25:13For the glory of God.
25:15If he does.
25:15For His glory.
25:16To His praise.
25:17He lives in his own egocentrism.
25:19So.
25:19Christmas is coming.
25:21And he declares to us.
25:22Here I send my children.
25:23To a new beginning.
25:25To live now.
25:26For the glory of God.
25:28Not for your glory.
25:29Merry Christmas, brother.
25:30It's not.
25:32To live in that delight.
25:33Just enjoy the food.
25:35And all that.
25:36And not live for the glory of God.
25:37Let's not forget.
25:38That one of the sins.
25:40It's gluttony.
25:44And we have to be Christians every day.
25:47Every day.
25:48And learn to control ourselves.
25:49To control ourselves.
25:51And that is not our delight.
25:53To Christmas.
25:54Birth of Christ.
25:55The Lord did not come.
25:56That our delight is food.
25:58The Lord did not come.
25:59That our delight is so God.
26:03Our greatest food is God.
26:05I am the bread that came down from heaven.
26:07The one who eats that bread.
26:09He is the one who drinks that water.
26:11That food that came from heaven.
26:14It's real food.
26:17And that brings benefits to our hearts.
26:20And that they don't hand us over to the materialism that exists.
26:22Because realizing what happened at Christmas.
26:26And even more so with Santa Claus, brother.
26:27It's shameful.
26:28It's shameful.
26:29And I say to him, impoverished.
26:33How did it all begin?
26:34With Saint Nicholas.
26:36He was a bishop.
26:39Many years ago.
26:41It began.
26:42He was a man who gave things away.
26:44In secret.
26:44He was a religious person.
26:46And he acted well.
26:48But never.
26:50He declared that it should be celebrated.
26:52So that's it.
26:52It started years ago.
26:54He joined in the United States.
26:56That man.
26:57And also from paganism.
26:59Northern.
27:01And it got mixed up.
27:01A mixture has been made.
27:02And Santa Claus arrived.
27:04Powered by.
27:05That very well-known drink.
27:08And he brought Santa Claus.
27:10And now.
27:11You can think.
27:12But what's wrong with that?
27:13Yeah.
27:13It's very bad.
27:14What the devil does.
27:15What approach.
27:16To the people.
27:17At Santa Claus.
27:18And not in Christ.
27:19And the children.
27:20You'll see.
27:21What do you think?
27:22Get to know Santa Claus better.
27:23To Jesus.
27:26When.
27:26Christmas.
27:27It is the birth.
27:28Of Jesus.
27:29The birth of Jesus Christ.
27:30And people celebrate Santa Claus.
27:32And Santa Claus.
27:33It is a being.
27:34That it doesn't exist.
27:36In itself.
27:37What can I say?
27:38It's a mecca.
27:39From many cultures.
27:40Brother.
27:40It's a mix.
27:41That it has been adapting.
27:42Growing.
27:42Growing.
27:43And it arrived.
27:43From where he is.
27:44One day today.
27:44It doesn't exist.
27:45It never existed.
27:47You cannot bring a gift.
27:49What carries the gifts.
27:50They are the parents.
27:51With God's help.
27:53And Christmas.
27:54It's time to celebrate.
27:54That Christ is dead.
27:55For our sins.
27:56No to Santa Claus.
27:57That is.
27:59Bad.
28:00He's bad at that.
28:01Because the devil knows how to manipulate.
28:03Then he manipulates.
28:05And focus.
28:05And more live.
28:06A very fallen culture.
28:08Europe.
28:08USA.
28:09Western culture.
28:10That he turned his back on God.
28:12Imagine.
28:13A culture.
28:14He's celebrating.
28:15The birth of Christ.
28:16And he gets drunk.
28:17At that same time.
28:19And she sings.
28:19Mascico's songs.
28:20BNB.
28:21That's how I saw it.
28:22All of that.
28:22When God.
28:23It's the opposite.
28:24According to God's will.
28:26What's wrong with that culture?
28:28She is blind.
28:28Don't see reality.
28:29I know she's a Christian.
28:30But he lives completely with his back turned.
28:33To what God demands of us.
28:35Christmas doesn't teach us that.
28:37If it's Christmas.
28:38He's coming to stir things up for God.
28:40And to live according to God's will.
28:42Glorifying His name.
28:43That is what the scripture says.
28:45Roman brothers.
28:46Romans 12.
28:47Verse 2.
28:49Don't settle for that yes.
28:52It doesn't leave you satisfied.
28:54Manipulated.
28:55Matrizado.
28:56For that world.
28:57To experience Christmas.
28:58How it works.
28:59It doesn't leave you satisfied.
29:00Without the renovate.
29:03And transform yourself.
29:05The Bible says so.
29:05Through understanding.
29:06That which writing gives him.
29:07It says so right there.
29:08To learn.
29:09What is God's will?
29:10Good, pleasant, and perfect.
29:11Now think about it.
29:12What is God's will?
29:14As for celebrating.
29:16The birth of his son.
29:18That is to say.
29:18In the incarnation of Christ.
29:20In this world.
29:21I got him drunk.
29:23Let him come down.
29:24Get drunk.
29:24Even something accidental.
29:26Sexual relations.
29:27That he doesn't know.
29:28What a drug.
29:29And so many other things.
29:30What is happening in the West?
29:32And then the opposite.
29:33There are also.
29:33Of people.
29:34They say they are atheists.
29:36They don't believe in God.
29:37They don't believe in Jesus.
29:38But he's celebrating Christmas.
29:39It's in a culture.
29:42Very strange, brother.
29:43Very rare.
29:45People.
29:45They say they don't believe in Jesus.
29:46But he's celebrating Christmas.
29:48And what Christmas?
29:49Says.
29:50Here.
29:51Here.
29:52What is he doing?
29:54That's why the world keeps transforming.
29:56Now.
29:56Santa Claus.
29:57Further.
29:57And all that stuff.
29:58Because Satan is very actuntic.
30:00Because the center of Christmas is Jesus Christ.
30:02So.
30:03Amen.
30:03It is Jesus Christ.
30:05Him and no one else.
30:06Amen.
30:07And the purpose of Christmas.
30:10From whom Christ was born.
30:12It's because.
30:12To reach the cross.
30:13That's how it is.
30:14That's Christmas.
30:15It's him.
30:16The child will arrive there.
30:18There he arrived.
30:18Brother.
30:19Who gave his life for us.
30:20So let us be wise.
30:21And let us glorify God.
30:23Throughout our lives.
30:26The child of Bethlehem.
30:27He is the eternal God.
30:28In Miqués he claims that his departures are from eternity.
30:33Brother.
30:33His departure is from eternity.
30:35It is eternal.
30:38It is eternal.
30:39It's not that the Son of God.
30:41It came to life at that moment.
30:43But even.
30:44It didn't exist until then.
30:45If Christ has always existed.
30:47It is eternal.
30:48He is the eternal God.
30:49The Son of God.
30:50And it was incarnated.
30:51He was born.
30:52We tell him.
30:53But it was incarnated.
30:54In this world.
30:55But it is.
30:55Eternal God.
30:57It doesn't even have a beginning.
30:59Nor end.
31:00That is our Lord.
31:01That's what he says because his departures are from eternity.
31:07In Juan.
31:08I read it last week.
31:09In Juan.
31:10Chapter 1.
31:11Verse 1.
31:12Says.
31:13That confirms that truth for us.
31:15In the beginning was the Word.
31:17And in the Word he was with God.
31:19And the Word was God.
31:23And the Word was God.
31:25And then he tells us in verse 14.
31:27For that Word became flesh.
31:30And he dwelt among us.
31:32And we lived.
31:33And we lived in his glory.
31:34Glory as.
31:35From the Father's only begotten Son.
31:37Full of grace and truth.
31:40Brother.
31:41Good.
31:42In the beginning was the Word.
31:45And the Word was with God.
31:46And he tells us clearly.
31:47And the Word was God.
31:48And that verb became flesh.
31:50That's a good thing.
31:51And that word became flesh.
31:53What was not seen.
31:54The word of God.
31:56Christ.
31:56It has become flesh.
31:57And he came among us.
31:58He was born.
31:59In Bethlehem.
31:59In a manger.
32:02It has become flesh.
32:03Eternal God.
32:03It has become flesh.
32:04So let's understand this clearly.
32:05That's Christmas.
32:06Religious leaders.
32:09On that date.
32:10I knew it clearly.
32:11That Christ had to be born.
32:13In Bethlehem.
32:14He was waiting for the Messiah.
32:16Let them come to Bethlehem.
32:17And we will see it in Matthew 2.
32:20In Matthew chapter 2.
32:21Verses 1 to 6.
32:23It says so.
32:24When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea.
32:27On the day of King Jerodes.
32:29They came from the east to Reshlem.
32:30Some magicians.
32:32Saying.
32:33Where is the king of the Jews?
32:35That has been born.
32:37Because of her star.
32:38We have seen it in the East.
32:40And we saw.
32:41And we have come to worship him.
32:42Hearing that.
32:44King Jerodés.
32:44He became agitated.
32:45And all the sun with him.
32:47And calling.
32:48All the chief priests.
32:50And the scribes of the people.
32:52He asked them.
32:54Where he was to be born.
32:55Christ.
32:56The Messiah.
32:58And they told him.
32:59In Bethlehem of Judea.
33:00Because that's how it is.
33:01It is written by the prophet.
33:03And then quote.
33:04To Micah.
33:06If it's written.
33:07I recognized him.
33:08But when Christ came.
33:09They didn't recognize him.
33:10I knew Christ was coming.
33:11Let Christ say.
33:12He was a noise.
33:13The Messiah.
33:16The one chosen by God.
33:18He has to come.
33:19The Messiah.
33:20But Christ came.
33:21And they didn't recognize him, brother.
33:23Christ.
33:23And they continue to wait for the Messiah.
33:25But anyway.
33:26In the person of Jesus.
33:27As they say.
33:28Agreed in Juan.
33:30In the first place, John.
33:31Chapter 5.
33:32He tells us.
33:33That everything he believes.
33:34That Jesus.
33:35It is Christ.
33:37He is born of God.
33:39But to realize it.
33:40As it says.
33:41Jesus.
33:42It's about Jesus.
33:43Who is Christ?
33:44The Messiah.
33:45That he declared.
33:46Here is Micah.
33:48He came.
33:52And he died on a cross for us.
33:54And we see how he knew it.
33:55And he continues to wait.
33:56But unfortunately.
33:58When he comes.
33:59Not unfortunately.
34:00Unfortunately.
34:01For those who don't know him.
34:02For us.
34:04Praise be to the Lord.
34:05Let him come.
34:06He will come a second time.
34:07But he will not come as the Messiah.
34:10He will come for his people.
34:11To establish his brother kingdom.
34:13He will no longer come as the Messiah.
34:15He's here.
34:16He came as the Messiah.
34:19Then in the manger.
34:20We don't just see a child.
34:22Tiny.
34:22If we see divinity incarnate.
34:26According to the scripture.
34:27Because its principle says.
34:28It is eternal.
34:29It has no beginning.
34:31And Christ says.
34:31I am alpha and omega.
34:33The lame woman says so.
34:34The beginning and the end, it says.
34:37That he was dead and alive forever and ever.
34:40Amen.
34:41And he promises us that we will too.
34:43Well.
34:44Because if Christ rises again.
34:46And live forever and ever.
34:48And we are not going to be resurrected.
34:50It won't do us any good.
34:51But the promises of writing.
34:53Us too.
34:54He is the first.
34:55And we too will be resurrected afterwards.
34:58And that promise.
34:59The one we are going to resurrect.
35:00Christ rose first.
35:02To demonstrate what power he has.
35:04And us too.
35:05He promises us.
35:06In his word.
35:07That He will resurrect us.
35:08Among the dead.
35:10So.
35:10And we will be with him eternally.
35:12He says he holds the key to death.
35:14No?
35:15So what?
35:16Let us trust in the Lord.
35:17As the Lord of the universe.
35:19Now let's move on to another point.
35:22What is it.
35:22The manger points to the cross.
35:24The purpose of incarnation.
35:26Which is very important.
35:28Jesus did not come just to be born.
35:29He came to save him.
35:32The purpose of the manger.
35:33It is the cross.
35:34That's why he came.
35:35He did not come just to be born.
35:36That we have.
35:37That's a party now.
35:38And he came to die.
35:39A cross for us.
35:40Mark chapter 10.
35:43Verse 45.
35:45He tells us.
35:45Because the Son of Man.
35:46He did not come to be served.
35:48But to serve.
35:49And to give his life.
35:51In rescue.
35:51By far.
35:53Look at that.
35:53Because the Son of Man.
35:54He didn't come to be.
35:55But to serve.
35:57And that's the purpose.
35:58To give his life.
35:58In rescue.
35:59By far.
36:00That is its purpose.
36:01That's why.
36:03We celebrate Christmas.
36:04Because Christ came.
36:05And he has died.
36:06For our sins.
36:07It's not just that.
36:08The little light.
36:09And then he says.
36:10Christmas Look.
36:11Become a good person.
36:12If you didn't call your mother all year.
36:14Calls.
36:16Get well soon.
36:18Have a good Christmas.
36:20Have a good heart.
36:21When it happens.
36:22You wait until 12.
36:23And it happens.
36:24You're still the same.
36:25You continue in your wickedness.
36:26No problem.
36:27But may it be a good Christmas.
36:29Little Light.
36:29Good atmosphere.
36:30With the family.
36:31We all get along well.
36:32At least for Christmas.
36:33Let's get along.
36:34Okay?
36:35At least for Christmas.
36:36It's Christmas.
36:37And we cannot expropriate the festival.
36:39We get along well.
36:40But when Christmas is over.
36:41After an hour.
36:43Let's go.
36:44And we continue the fight.
36:45But don't point the finger at us at Christmas, brother.
36:47Christmas, don't point the finger at us, brother.
36:47Christmas, don't point the finger at us.
36:48Every day.
36:49There is Christmas for us.
36:51And it's a non-stop party.
36:52In God.
36:54We remember each other every day.
36:55When we remember.
36:56What Christ has done for us.
36:57And that there is eternal life in Christ Jesus.
37:00There is Christmas in our hearts.
37:01Joy and eternal life.
37:03And there's Christmas.
37:04That's why so many people come to Christmas.
37:06Enjoy all kinds of food.
37:07And after Christmas.
37:09Depression.
37:10And anxiety.
37:11Because there aren't any anymore.
37:12He has nothing left to enjoy.
37:14That's already happened.
37:14Because that was all his delight.
37:17Not us.
37:17It went very well.
37:18Another day.
37:19We continue with our Lord Jesus Christ.
37:21And we do His will.
37:22We are joyful in the kingdom of God.
37:25And we move forward.
37:26Because we are more than conquerors.
37:28And Scripture tells us this clearly.
37:29That we will conquer the world.
37:30All that were born of God.
37:32Conquer the world.
37:33And so the world triumphed.
37:34And our faith.
37:35And that faith is Saint Christ Jesus.
37:37Praised be his name.
37:40John 3:16.
37:42State the motivation.
37:44From Christmas.
37:46It is the love of God.
37:49It is the love of God.
37:50Christmas is love.
37:51It teaches us about God's love.
37:53And it tells us there.
37:54Because in such a way.
37:55God loved the world.
37:56Who gave his only begotten Son.
37:58So that everyone who believes in him may believe.
38:00He doesn't wake up.
38:00The more life I have.
38:02That's Christmas.
38:07Christ.
38:08At Christmas.
38:09Christ came into the world.
38:10To comply.
38:11The will of God.
38:13And offer.
38:14It is offering your body.
38:15A sacrifice.
38:16Look at how they say it.
38:16Hebrews.
38:1710.
38:18Verses 5 to 7.
38:21Whereby.
38:22Entering.
38:23In the world.
38:24Says.
38:25Sacrifice.
38:26Offering.
38:26What you did.
38:28But you prepared my body.
38:29Holocaust.
38:30Holocaust.
38:31And atonement.
38:32Because of sin.
38:33You didn't like them.
38:34So.
38:34Then I said.
38:35Tell me here.
38:36I'm coming.
38:37God.
38:37To do your will.
38:38Like in the movie.
38:39The rhythm.
38:40It is written about me.
38:43It says so there.
38:43The beginning.
38:44Whereby.
38:44Entering the world.
38:46Says.
38:47He came into that world.
38:48To do God's will.
38:49To fulfill God's will.
38:51From the father.
38:52And his will.
38:53From the father.
38:54It was that he gave his life.
38:55For us.
38:57The sacrifice of animals.
38:59God was not pleased.
39:01It was superficial.
39:02He did not meet God's demand.
39:04God is not superficial.
39:06As we discussed before.
39:07The sacrifices.
39:08What they do.
39:09It was superficial.
39:10He did not sincerely please God.
39:12Brother.
39:13God is a being.
39:14If he doesn't like it.
39:15He doesn't like it.
39:15He said it to Cain too.
39:17He's not two-faced.
39:19Ah.
39:19No problem.
39:20No.
39:20God was not pleased.
39:22The sacrifices.
39:22The atonement that he made.
39:24But yes, the sacrifice of Jesus.
39:26Fragrant smell.
39:27The scripture says.
39:28That the father liked.
39:29What Christ has done for us.
39:31How he sacrificed himself.
39:32And it is with his hand.
39:34That sacrifice is worth it.
39:36It pleased God.
39:37The father was truly pleased.
39:39So.
39:40All those who believe in them.
39:41That sacrifice.
39:42It's good for God.
39:43And they are saved.
39:44Through faith in Christ Jesus.
39:46Because there's a smell.
39:49But not the others.
39:50If you prepared my body.
39:52It was incarnated.
39:53You prepared a body for me.
39:54To go into that world.
39:55And pay.
39:56And sacrifice myself with them.
39:58That is the father's will.
39:59Because the Father loves them.
40:01And He loves them with an everlasting love.
40:03And he is not a catimony to his own son.
40:05And he gave it up for us.
40:07Because of the love he has for us.
40:10God delivered.
40:11And God the Father gave his Son for us.
40:12So.
40:13And this is humanity.
40:14That is humanity.
40:15Then the manger path.
40:20Drive.
40:22It leads to Golgotha.
40:24Let's keep that in mind.
40:26Why did Jesus come?
40:27And let's not just focus on the manger.
40:29And with the little boy.
40:30And with the lights.
40:31And with the music.
40:32And we remained in that melancholy.
40:33And we forget why Christ came for us.
40:36And we live in that one.
40:37That's nonsense, brother.
40:39Us.
40:39God gives us light.
40:40We have light.
40:41And understanding.
40:42To see the truth.
40:44And to truly know Jesus.
40:47Well.
40:48The birth.
40:50Of Christ.
40:51It brings peace.
40:51In the hearts.
40:55The birth.
40:56Of our Lord Jesus Christ.
40:57It brings peace.
40:58The birth.
40:58That brings peace.
40:59And salvation.
41:01And I'm going to read.
41:02Isaiah.
41:029.
41:036.
41:037.
41:04Says.
41:04Because a child is not born.
41:06Children.
41:07Son is not given.
41:08And the principality.
41:09Over his shoulder.
41:10Says.
41:11He will be called by his name.
41:13Admirable advisor.
41:14God is strong.
41:16Eternal Father.
41:17Prince of Peace.
41:18The vastness of his empire.
41:20And there will be no end to peace.
41:22On the throne of David.
41:23And about his kingdom.
41:24Arranging it.
41:25And confirming it in court.
41:26And in justice.
41:28From now on and forever.
41:29The zeal of the Lord of hosts.
41:32He'll do that.
41:35That child is handed over by us.
41:37Because it brings us peace.
41:39We agree with what Jesus says.
41:43I have my peace.
41:44I give you my peace.
41:45But I don't give it the way the world does.
41:47I give it differently.
41:49So.
41:49Christ came to bring peace to our hearts, brother.
41:52He came to bring peace.
41:54And to reconcile ourselves with God.
41:56That's why he came.
41:57To die a cross.
41:58To bring peace to our hearts.
42:00And to reconcile ourselves with God.
42:02That is the purpose of Christmas.
42:07To glorify God.
42:08As we gave earlier in Luke 2.14.
42:10Glory to God in the highest.
42:12Peace on earth.
42:13Goodwill towards men.
42:14Glory to God.
42:15Because he gave his Son for us.
42:18And in Romans 5:1.
42:19Explain how that peace becomes real.
42:22Justified therefore by faith.
42:23We have peace with God.
42:24Through our Lord Jesus Christ.
42:27Justified therefore by faith.
42:28We have peace with God.
42:30Through our Lord Jesus Christ.
42:31For peace with God.
42:32If the purpose of life.
42:34It is having communion with God.
42:36And I don't have it because of sin.
42:38Because I rebelled against God.
42:40And everything that God gives me.
42:41Half.
42:42I used it for my glory.
42:44To my praise.
42:45For my egocentrism.
42:47And I saw God with his back turned.
42:48And now Jesus comes to reconcile.
42:50No?
42:51And to bring peace with God.
42:53Through faith.
42:54In the world, one is justified by faith.
42:56We have peace with God.
42:57Brother.
42:58The man who is in Christ.
43:00And he knows how to write.
43:01He has no peace in his heart.
43:02Because if you have it arranged.
43:04The greatest thing in this world.
43:07What it means to have communion with God.
43:08To be forgiven by God.
43:10To feel God's forgiveness.
43:12And to believe in God's forgiveness.
43:14And knowing that you are at peace.
43:16With half the universe.
43:17You already have it.
43:17What happens, happens.
43:19What happens, happens.
43:20The car breaks down.
43:21It's fixed.
43:21And if I die.
43:22The Bible says so.
43:23If I die.
43:25I am going with Christ.
43:26To die for God.
43:27Then there is nothing in this world.
43:29That can take away peace.
43:31As to those who do not believe in Christ.
43:33Those who are in Christ Jesus.
43:35They have peace.
43:36I am right with God.
43:37That's it.
43:38Glory to God.
43:39I am right with God.
43:39From there.
43:40We'll see.
43:41What we are going to do.
43:42Because that's the most important thing.
43:44To be at peace.
43:45To have peace in our hearts.
43:48Christmas.
43:49It heralds the arrival of peace.
43:51Reconciliation.
43:53God be with you.
43:54We're not doing any better either.
43:55And that's it.
43:57And now.
43:57I tell him.
43:58How we reacted.
43:59Faced with such a great salvation.
44:03How we react.
44:04And let's put it into practice.
44:05It's not a mental reaction.
44:07What I like.
44:07And I'm leaving here.
44:08And I continue as I please.
44:09How I react as a believer.
44:11Even that.
44:12Hebrews 2:3
44:14Hebrew chapter 2.3.
44:15He tells us.
44:15How will we escape?
44:17If we neglect such a great salvation.
44:21Which.
44:22Having been announced.
44:23Firstly, through the Lord.
44:25It was confirmed to us.
44:26For those who heard.
44:27He tells us.
44:28How will we escape?
44:29If we neglect such a great salvation.
44:32That's big brother.
44:33And believe me.
44:34Neither you nor I.
44:35We haven't seen it yet.
44:37How big it is.
44:37Says.
44:39No.
44:39We don't see it.
44:40That's how meat is.
44:41The downfall is very great.
44:43It is eternal.
44:44And salvation is very great.
44:46It's eternal, brother.
44:47We still don't perceive it as we should.
44:50Because if we do it this way.
44:52We live in a holiness you can't even imagine.
44:54We often fail to appreciate salvation as such a great salvation.
45:03So how do we react in Matthew 2:11?
45:06It shows the wise men worshipping.
45:09We worship God for such a great salvation.
45:11And brother.
45:12We don't think about the worship that I come here for.
45:14And I adore God.
45:15And that's it.
45:15And that I like praise.
45:18To worship God is to adore Him.
45:21Your person.
45:22You know him.
45:23You see it.
45:24You love him.
45:25And you adore him.
45:26And that's where the praise we sing comes from.
45:28It's about adoring him.
45:29How's the little boy doing? I adore him.
45:31How beautiful.
45:32My boy is so cute.
45:33I love him.
45:34I love him.
45:35I give my life for him.
45:36You're adoring him.
45:37So that's what it's all about.
45:39Worship God wholeheartedly.
45:41To love your person.
45:42To be in love with God.
45:44Wanting to follow him.
45:45That is his will.
45:46To truly love him.
45:48To worship him.
45:49And then comes the praise that arises from that.
45:51From that heart that is grateful.
45:53Who worships God.
45:54And we adore.
45:55And we sing to God.
45:56And then praise springs forth.
45:58Beautiful.
45:59Because it comes from a sincere heart.
46:00Who worships God.
46:01So we see here how.
46:03He knows it.
46:04It says so there.
46:05Already inside the house.
46:08They saw the child with his mother Mary.
46:10And falling down, they worshipped him.
46:12And they opened their treasure chest.
46:14They offered him three gifts: gold, frankincense, and ores.
46:17Then we see the child.
46:20We see Christ.
46:20We see what Christ has done for us.
46:23We love him.
46:24And we give him gifts.
46:25What's the gift?
46:26Our heart is for me.
46:28We criticized it.
46:29We saw for His glory.
46:31We adore him.
46:32We cried about it.
46:32Mister.
46:33We inherited it like you did.
46:34How wonderful.
46:34How wonderful.
46:36What is he/she like as a person?
46:37How nice to please you.
46:38That's why the Lord is there.
46:39He who loves me will keep my word.
46:40It seems very simple.
46:42But they love me to keep my word because they adore me.
46:46So.
46:47In context.
46:48How do we react?
46:48We love him.
46:50And then.
46:52Says.
46:52All who bear fruit.
46:54They bear fruit to glorify God.
46:55Do you remember?
46:56That the purpose of Christmas is to glorify God.
47:00It is all that God gives us.
47:01As human beings.
47:02Made in his image.
47:03Likeness.
47:04He put us on earth to reflect what He is.
47:06For His glory.
47:07Everything we do, brother.
47:09Even someone who knows how to install a door.
47:11It reflects God's design.
47:13That is to say.
47:13God has made many doors.
47:16The greatest builder of the universe is God.
47:19And he knows how to do everything.
47:21And everything that brings excellence to a person.
47:24I was already in God.
47:25I was already in God.
47:26So all those realities are for us to glorify God.
47:34Luke 2.
47:35It sells and shows pastors glorifying God.
47:37And they returned to the shepherds, glorifying them.
47:39And praising God for all the things he had heard and seen.
47:42As he had been told.
47:44And they returned to the shepherds glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen.
47:49As I had told you.
47:50So.
47:51We, brother.
47:52We listened to his word.
47:53Let us give glory to Jesus.
47:54We believe in Him and we do it.
47:56We love him.
47:57We glorify him.
47:58We want to be like Him.
47:59Seeing his glory with his face uncovered.
48:01As the Corinthians say.
48:02We are transformed into glory.
48:04In glory through the power of the Spirit.
48:07We want to be like Him.
48:10And I have one last verse that I'm going to read.
48:15I have two verses.
48:16In 2 Corinthians 5.
48:18Verses 14 and 15 tell us.
48:20Because the love of Christ built us.
48:22Thinking about this.
48:24That if one died for all those.
48:26For everyone.
48:27Then they all died.
48:29And he died for all those for whom he lives.
48:32No longer live for yourself.
48:34But for him who died and rose again for him.
48:37So that's Christmas.
48:38That's Christmas.
48:40We need to understand it.
48:41That is.
48:42Christ was born.
48:43And on the cross.
48:44He paid the price for those who didn't deserve it.
48:46God became incarnate in a humble way.
48:48And it teaches us to begin to be simple children of God.
48:51In the midst of a perverse and brutal society.
48:55That teaches us about God.
48:56It begins with his birth.
48:58And now he tells us.
48:58If Christ gave his life for us.
49:00And he died for everyone.
49:02He died for those who lived.
49:03They no longer lived for themselves.
49:05And that is how they lived before Corinthians.
49:06To use all their gifts to live for them.
49:09And not to glorify God.
49:11May the love of Christ compel us all.
49:14And he tells us.
49:15Live for me.
49:16Glory to your baby.
49:17As I am loving you.
49:18As I loved you.
49:20I live for myself.
49:22And for me.
49:23And for me.
49:23And for himself.
49:23But for him who died and rose again for him.
49:26That's Christmas.
49:27And the last verse.
49:28Romans 14:17
49:29He tells us.
49:30Because the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking.
49:33But righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
49:37There it is.
49:39The kingdom of God has come near to you.
49:41He is among you.
49:42Says.
49:43The kingdom of God is in your heart.
49:45Brother.
49:46You belong to the kingdom of God.
49:48Already.
49:48And the kingdom of God is not just about enjoying material things.
49:52As Scripture also says.
49:53God will give us everything to enjoy.
49:56But in a healthy, not sinful, way.
49:57Not to be led around that world the way they do.
50:01Let's get drunk and do everything they do.
50:03Why not.
50:03True joy is found in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
50:08To have communion with God.
50:10To have communion with God.
50:11That is our joy.
50:13So I encourage you to think carefully about the upcoming Christmas season.
50:17How are you experiencing it?
50:19How are you going to experience it?
50:20And me too.
50:21I'm going there.
50:22What do you know?
50:24And we must continue and be children of God.
50:27We can't.
50:28At Christmas, I take a little bit and make the most of everything.
50:30Until the wind cut the pieces.
50:33We're not just talking about food.
50:34We need to be careful.
50:35There are many temptations.
50:36And for those who are more vulnerable, there is much more.
50:38More flexible in the sense that it's with a cop there, one over here.
50:42Something for someone, there is no longer any temptation.
50:46Oh really.
50:47Some already understand it.
50:48But there's more to what's beginning.
50:50Now that Christmas is here, Satan's offer begins.
50:53There is a lot of supply.
50:55Discounts of 25%, 60%, up to 100% free.
50:59Come and enjoy.
51:02And after you enjoy yourself and fight against God, then comes the consequence of all that.
51:08And these are consequences that bring suffering, brother.
51:11I encourage you to do that.
51:13Children of God, simple children of God.
51:15To glorify His name.
51:17That is the purpose of Christmas.
51:19We are reborn into a living hope.
51:21Lord, we give you thanks.
51:24Praise be to your name, Lord.
51:26Help, Lord, for that feast that is coming now, Lord.
51:30It's a party, sir.
51:31And a celebration in our hearts.
51:33You were born because of us.
51:35You came into this world for us.
51:37You came to glorify the Father.
51:39We give thanks to you with all our hearts, Lord, for what you did for us, Lord.
51:45We will praise you eternally, Lord, in the kingdom of God and Christ.
51:50Praise be to the Lord.
51:51May He help us, Lord, to live in holiness and purity.
51:54We ask this in the name of your Son.
51:56Amen.
51:56Amen.
