Christmas in the OT: The Realization of a Covenant
Genesis 12:1-4a, 2 Samuel 7:16, Isaiah 9:6-7, Luke 1:26-33
The Main Point - The covenant God made with Abraham ran through the line of David, was reiterated by Old Testament prophecy, which was fulfilled by Christ, and has affected us.
1. The covenant with Abraham - Genesis 12:1-4a
2. Through the line of David - 2 Samuel 7:8-16
3. Reiterated by prophecy- Isaiah 9:6-7
4. Fulfilled by Christ- Luke 1:26-33
5. Affected us – Galatians 3:7-9
This compels us to:
1. Connect the dots.
2. Commemorate Christ.
3. Count on God.
