What is the first
thing that comes to
your mind when you
think about
Christmas?
![Page 10: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why did Matthew
begin his writings with
Jesus genealogy?
![Page 11: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Jesus birth did not
start with the phrase,
“In a land far, far
away.”
![Page 12: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Gospel is Good
News, Not Good Advice.
• Advice is counsel
about what you must
do.
• News is a report about
what has already been
done.
![Page 13: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Gospel is Good
News, Not Good
Advice.
• Advice urges you to
make something
happen.
• News urges you to
realize something
already happened.
![Page 14: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Gospel is Good
News, Not Good
Advice.
• Advice says it is all
up to you, act upon
it.
• News says someone
else has already
acted upon it.
![Page 15: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Here is the good news:
the biblical Christmas text
are not fairy tales but
true accounts of history,
that don’t tell you what
to do but what God thru
Christ has done for you!
![Page 16: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Matthew 27:46
About the ninth hour
Jesus cried out with a
loud voice, saying, “ELI,
ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?”
that is, “MY GOD, MY
GOD, WHY HAVE YOU
FORSAKEN ME?”
Christmas is about what Christ did
for us that we could not do on our
own.
![Page 17: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Hollywood produces
fairytale type movies
because society
hungers for them.
![Page 18: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Deep down in our
humanness we have a
desire:
• To know what love is.
• To believe in the
unbelievable.
• To experience the
supernatural.
• To escape death.
• To triumph over evil.
• But fairytales are not
true.
![Page 19: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How many times have our children
made the statement after reading a
fairytale that they wished the story
was true.
• A real superhero.
• A hero that had supernatural
strength.
• A hero that could be everywhere
and all knowing.
• A hero that could fly the
universe.
![Page 20: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Christmas is about a God who
left the heavens and cane to
earth.
• A God who has supernatural
powers.
• A God who can create
miracles.
• A God who can heal the sick
and raise the dead.
![Page 21: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Then the story takes a
twist.
• His people turn on Him.
• He is beaten, crucified.
• He dies, He is buried.
• He is raised from the
dead.
• He saves His people.
![Page 22: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Christmas story is about
bringing the fairytale to
reality.
• The temporal is brought
into the eternal.
• Evil is real and seeks to
keep us in chains.
• Authority over evil has
been given.
• There is unconditional
love that can never be
broken.
![Page 23: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
God knew that we could not
save ourselves.
• Why did Matthew write
about Jesus genealogy
and not about the scene
in the stable?
• It is about the
significance of the
resume.
![Page 24: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Matthew list 5 women all
mothers of Jesus.
• By listing these women,
Matthew makes known
some of the most nasty,
immoral, adulterous and
murderous stories in the
Bible.
![Page 25: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Tamar tricked her father-in
law to sleep with her.
• Rahab was a Canaanite and
a prostitute.
• Uriah’s wife was
Bathsheba.
• This is a true dysfunctional
family.
![Page 26: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Isaiah 1:18 (NASB95)
18 “Come now, and let us
reason together,”
Says the LORD, “Though your
sins are as scarlet, They will
be as white as snow;
Though they are red like
crimson, They will be like
wool.
![Page 27: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
So what do you find if you open up this gift of good news?
• The world values, race,
pedigree, money &
values.
• This is what sets the
world apart.
![Page 28: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
But the true gift of
Christmas is that
prostitutes to kings,
male to female, all
races, moral to immoral,
all sit down at the Kings
table as equal.
![Page 29: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
But the true gift of
Christmas is that you no
longer have to prove
yourself because it
really doesn’t matter
whether you are a
failure or success.
![Page 30: The Gospel Is Good News, Not Just Good Advice!€¦ · 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb5c015e5a1b025453beb8e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The true gift of
Christmas is that you
learn that life is no
longer about you but it is
all about what God thru
Christ has done for
you…..He took you place
on the cross and did for
you what you could not
do on your own.
