1. Come, Lord Jesus – The people needed a Savior. Sin separated man from God,
but Jesus came to bring reconciliation.
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned… For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.(Isaiah 7:14; 9:2-7, NIV)
In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be
with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. (Luke 1:26-31, NIV)
He CameProphets
through the agesTold about His birth
A virgin will conceive, they said
And God will come to earth
He shall know not evilChoosing what is right
Heaven’s joy He brings us as darkness
becomes light
In the fullness of time He came
With the world on His mind, He came
With His heart filled with love
From the Father aboveIn the fullness of time
He came
Then one bore a witness of this light to come
He told how Jesus Christ would be rejected by His own
But those who receive Him
Sons of God are theyKnowing Christ
the SaviorThe Life, the Truth,
the Way
In the fullness of time He came
With the world on His mind, He came
With His heart filled with love
From the Father aboveIn the fullness of time
He came
While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. (Luke 2:6-7, NIV)
2. Angels Adore Him – God often used angels as His messengers to bring news to
His people. The angels declared the good news of
Christ’s birth.
An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." (Luke 2:9-14, NIV)

3. Shepherds Adore Him – The Shepherds responded
to the good news by worshipping and telling
others.
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, (Luke 2:15-17, NIV)
Silent NightSilent night, holy nightAll is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy Infant so Tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!Shepherds quake at the
sight!Glories stream

and nature sing

And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His loveAnd wonders of His loveAnd wonders, wonders
of His love
4. Wise Men Adore Him – The Wisemen gave what they
had in worship to God
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”…Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as
you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him." After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh. (Matt. 2:1-2, 7-11)
What Child Is This?What child is this who laid to
rest,On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
This, this is Christ the KingWhom shepherds guard
and angels singHaste, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
So bring Him incense,gold and myrrh;
Come peasant, king to own Him.
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
This, this is Christ the KingWhom shepherds guard
and angels singHaste, haste to bring Him
laud,The Babe, the Son of Mary
Christmas OfferingOver the skies of Bethlehem
appeared a starWhile angels sang to lowly shepherds
Three wisemen seeking truth traveled from afar hoping to
find the child from heaven
And falling on their knees,They bowed before
the humble Prince of Peace
I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I singJesus may you receive
the honor that You’re dueO Lord, I bring an offering
to You
The sun cannot compare to the glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your presence
No mortal man would dare to stand before Your throne
Before the Holy One of heaven
It’s only by Your blood and it’s only through Your
mercyLord, I come
I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I singJesus may you receive
the honor that You’re dueO Lord, I bring an offering
to You
5. Simeon and Anna Adore Him –
They waited for God’s timing and recognized God’s
blessing. Then, they shared the Good news with those
around them.
Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ. Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised
God, saying, "Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel." The child's father and mother marveled at what was said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: "This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in
Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too." There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. Coming up to them
at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem. (Luke 2:25-38, NIV)
Simeon’s LullabyO my Lord sleeping

6. We Adore Him – We respond to God in
worship through receiving Jesus, obeying the Word of God, bowing before Him, giving all we have, and telling others
the Good News.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his
glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1: 1, 5, 12, 14, NIV)
The people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.“ (Matthew 4:16, NIV)
"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. (Matthew 5:14, NIV)
