It's Christmas

[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another word-filled message by David Entry. Preaching is the means by which God manifests His word and nourishes our spirits. May the life of God enter into you and you as you listen to this message. Be blessed.

[0:20] The Christmas story is not hinged on a day, but the Christmas story started in Genesis. When God said, let us make man in our image, Genesis 1, 26.

[0:37] And God said, let us make man in our image and in our likeness. That making man in our image, in our likeness, that has to do, because it's like you make gloves.

[0:51] Let's say you manufacture different stuff, but this time you are manufacturing a special set of gloves. Okay? Man in his image because of Christmas.

[1:05] Romans chapter 8 verse 3 talks about how God sending forth His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh.

[1:26] God, He came in the likeness, in the likeness of sinful flesh. So, when He made man in His image, He had Christmas in mind.

[1:42] And so, the entire creation was waiting for the day God Himself will step, heaven will step on earth. Philippians chapter 2 verse 5, 6 and 7.

[1:55] The Bible says that even though He was God, or He did not count equality with God, He could not count a robbery to be equal with God, but humble Himself.

[2:05] Verse 7, verse 7 is the one I'm looking for quickly. But made Himself unknowingly. Take Him the form of a born servant. Became in the likeness of man. Now, how would He have come in the likeness of man if in the first place we had not been made in His image?

[2:22] Right. Right. Right. Right. The Christmas story didn't start 25th December. Or didn't start when Jesus was born. It started right from creation.

[2:34] Because God chose us before time began. Where? In Christ. 2 Timothy chapter 1 verse 9.

[2:45] He said, Who had called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His grace and purpose.

[2:57] A purpose and grace which was given to us. Where? Where was He given to us? Where? Where? It was given to us where? In Christ. In Christ.

[3:09] So whatever we can enjoy from God was always packaged in Christ. But when was it packaged in Christ? When? Before time started.

[3:20] So before you can measure years, things have been packaged waiting for the manifestation of Christ for it to be released. Right. So you must be very unlearned.

[3:31] Not to want to enjoy Christmas. Somebody shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. For God so loved the world that He gave.

[3:45] Christmas is a love story. Now, Matthew chapter 2. The Bible reading. Matthew chapter 2. The book of Matthew is a very interesting account. It's the first book in the New Testament.

[3:55] The first name ever mentioned in the New Testament. Do you know what it is? The first name mentioned in the New Testament? Jesus. What's the first name mentioned in the New Testament? Matthew 1-1.

[4:06] Jesus. Somebody say Jesus. Jesus. And guess what? The last name in the New Testament? Jesus. Hallelujah. Jesus is everything is about Jesus from beginning to the end.

[4:16] It's Jesus. Jesus. Now, Matthew. There are four accounts. Matthew gives one of the accounts. Matthew takes time to present Jesus as the Messiah. As the King. And so, in Matthew chapter 1.

[4:29] It starts right away from the genealogy of Jesus. So, Matthew chapter 1 verse 1. It says the book. Can you imagine? It says the book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ. The son of David. The son of Abraham.

[4:39] Wow. Who? He moves it to David. Why? Because he's going to present the guy as a king. Among Jews, you can be a king if you are not coming from the lineage of David.

[4:54] Or you must have the royal blood. Just like it is here. You can't just become a queen or a king. You must be born. You must have the royal blood in you. And so, for him to go any further, he said that the genealogy of Jesus, the son of David.

[5:10] Apart from Jesus, David was the first name mentioned in the New Testament. Apart from Jesus. Next to Jesus, David. Say, David. If I were you, I would call myself David. Wow. Hallelujah.

[5:21] He said, David. Jesus, the son of David. Not Joseph. No other person. But the son of David. Jesus, the king. The son of David. And he said, the son of Abraham. Why Abraham?

[5:33] Because in the Bible, there are, you see, time. In Genesis, chapter 1. Genesis divided into three major sessions. First session is from chapter 1 and chapter 2. And it starts with a certain name.

[5:44] It says, it talks about God. So, that session talks about God. The second session is from chapter 3. Okay. Chapter 3 to chapter 11. And that starts with a certain person. Certain name. The serpent.

[5:56] And then the third session is from chapter 12 to the end of Genesis, chapter 50. And it starts with Jehovah spoke to Abraham. And the first session from chapter 1 of Genesis to chapter 11 is about four major people.

[6:11] First, the younger people. Who and who? Adam. And then who? Abel. Enoch. Noah. The other section from chapter 12 to chapter 50 is about four people.

[6:26] So, eight people. The book of Genesis is about just eight people. Eight major characters in the book of Genesis. First, four are from chapter 1 to chapter 11. Second, four from chapter 12 to chapter 50.

[6:39] Second, four is who? Abraham. Abraham. Yes. Jacob. Joseph. Hallelujah.

[6:51] The second session, watch this. The first, hey, the first session is the Adamic race. The created race. The second session is the chosen race.

[7:02] The called race. Adam started the Adamic race. The created race. Then Abraham started the called race. That's what it is about. That is why Jesus had to be traced to Abraham, not Adam.

[7:15] Because that's why we are the sons of Abraham. We are all part of the called race. If you are not born again, you are not part of the called race. You are part of the Adamic race. The created race.

[7:29] That's why Jesus came. And so when we were talking about Jesus, Jesus, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Then he began to list who gave birth to who. Who gave birth to who.

[7:39] Who gave birth to who. And everybody was giving birth. Can you imagine? That's all they were doing. From Abraham all the way to David.

[7:50] To David through Mary. Everybody was giving birth. Read the Bible. And this man gave birth to you. And this one gave birth to you. And this one gave birth. So it's okay to be giving birth. Don't stop the process.

[8:04] Everybody was giving birth. Everybody was giving birth. Everybody was giving birth. And then it got to Mary. And Mary also gave birth. But when Mary conceived. In Matthew chapter 1 verse 18.

[8:16] The Bible says that the lady was betrothed. Now the birth of Jesus was as follows. So he said Jesus was born. So now let's go into details. The birth of Jesus was as follows.

[8:28] After his mother Mary. After. Say after. After. Why must God wait after? He didn't need the involvement of a man. So why must he have waited till a man was attached?

[8:42] But he moved in early enough. Before the man fully had the license to be with her. So the man was attached. But the law could not. The law forbid him to impregnate her.

[8:55] Because they were not married. But he was espoused with her. So if she was found. That she has cheated on him. After he has been espoused with her.

[9:07] It will start to matter that law of Moses to death. And he was supposed to put her off. Everybody knows publicly. And put her away. So the Bible says that. After the guy was betrothed.

[9:18] Mary was betrothed to Joseph. Before they came together. She was found. Before Joseph could say. Jack. God had gone ahead. Hey. He's going ahead for me.

[9:30] God will go ahead for you. Before they could be together. She was found to be a child. And guess who is behind the child? The Holy Ghost.

[9:40] What is this? It's a revolution. What kind of revolution is this? It's a revolution. It's a revolution. The Holy Ghost has gotten involved. Holy Spirit.

[9:52] Hallelujah. He was found to be a child of the Holy Spirit. Joseph now had to do what was right. You can't get married to a woman who someone is with. So he was thinking of.

[10:03] He's a good man. The man you marry matters. He was a good man. He was a good man. Bible said because he was a just man. He didn't want to create a sin around the lady.

[10:16] So he just wanted to just live there and move on gently. Now that's how people should be living in churches. Good people, if they have to live in church, they live gently.

[10:30] People don't even realize that there was a sin. Others, they call everybody. Hey, are you still there? Hey, I don't go there again.

[10:42] Hey. Make a lot of noise. Fight with the head, Asha. Fight with the choir, Lida. All right. Let's move on.

[10:53] So Joseph didn't want to put it. Okay. So make a problem. Was mindful to put it away secretly. Now go to the next place. While he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him.

[11:05] In a dream saying, Joseph, Joseph, Joseph. Son of David. Do not be afraid to take Mary, your what? Wife. She wasn't my wife yet. But under the Jewish custom, she was considered to be his wife.

[11:20] Because they were engaged. Don't be afraid to take Mary, your wife. Okay. Take to you, Mary, your wife. For that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

[11:33] Watch this. And he says that she will bring forth a son and he shall call his name Jesus. Say Jesus. Jesus. First name we saw there, his name. Jesus is, in the book of Matthew, is presented as Jesus, which means God saves.

[11:47] God the Savior. If someone can save you, it's not your doctor's hope. God. Someone shall Jesus. Jesus. It's not your certificate that will guarantee your salvation.

[11:58] Salvation of your future. When I'm talking about salvation, salvation for your future career is not based on your certificate. Even though that also matters. But that's not what defines everything.

[12:10] Because people have more colorful certificates than yours. And they are still struggling. Don't train a child to just be academically good. God. Train a child to give the child what it takes to succeed in life.

[12:26] God makes a big difference in a person's life. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Your child has never missed one assignment.

[12:40] It's good. It's always up to date. All the books they give, right. But as churchy, As you are, Your child can't quote one quotation.

[12:51] Wow. And yet, Tell me how many people have just gone to school and followed through the school system And have become suddenly very great. School systems are not to make you great.

[13:01] It's meant to make you intelligent citizen. Good citizen. Good worker. Employer. Most of the time.

[13:12] And if you are a lawyer. There are other top lawyers in other fields. Yes. Yes. So you can't be all. And there will be one prime minister at a time.

[13:23] Yes. Yes. Yes. It's very important. Yes. Yes. Because you are busy trying to raise an intelligent boy. Make sure you put in the installation that will protect him from the wicked wrong influences in London.

[13:39] Because when they are intelligent and the wrong influence enters. I almost said something which is an oxymoron. So I was about to say, A fool who fears God is better than a clever person who doesn't fear God.

[13:53] But you can't fear God and be foolish. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Bible says that the fear of the Lord is actually the beginning. You have started a journey of wisdom. Yes. Yes. Yes.

[14:05] So your child is classified as a fool. If he hasn't started fearing God, you are raising a big fool. All right. Let's go to Christmas. His name shall be Jesus.

[14:17] He shall break for the sun. He shall call his name Jesus. For he will save his people from their sins. 22. So all that was done. So all that was done that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet saying.

[14:32] All right. Go ahead. Behold. Ooh. I like that one. Behold, a virgin shall be with child. That's a serious statement. How can a virgin be with child?

[14:44] Think about it. Behold, a virgin shall, even IVF, they have to practically insert the, after it has been fertilized in the test tube, after the egg has been fertilized by the sperm in the test tube, it now must be inserted into the womb.

[15:06] And the only way into the womb is one, in and out. Yeah. So long as a fetus is concerned. But he said, a virgin shall be with child.

[15:18] I say, the hymen not broken, but yet she's pregnant. Oh, I like the Holy Spirit. And he says, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which means God with us.

[15:30] That's why, that's why Genesis was so important, because God has been waiting to step in, in himself and be with us. How can he be? How many of you have lived in the zoo before?

[15:43] You can't live in the zoo unless they make a small apartment somewhere for you. But you can't live with the lions. You can't live with the dogs or the snakes.

[15:55] You can't eat what they eat, because you are not one of them. You are not like them. But because God was coming to live with us and be with us, he made us like him. Hallelujah.

[16:12] Okay, remember, he was presented as a king. So he's a king from the lineage of David. He's Jesus, God who saves, and he's Emmanuel, God who has actually just come to be with us.

[16:23] And it happened that he was born. And when he was born, in Matthew chapter 2, the Bible says that, let's go to that text. That is the key text for today. Thank you, Holy Spirit.

[16:35] Now, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, where was he born? Bethlehem of Judea. After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, God always knows what you do.

[16:51] Herod the king was a very wicked man, cruel man. But God was not afraid to come around that time. He came as a baby, as though he was very helpless.

[17:05] And yet, he was still controlling everything, a baby. And Herod, wise man from the age. Okay, so watch this. Behold, say behold. Behold. Behold. In other words, don't miss this.

[17:16] Come on, watch this. Watch this. It says, behold means that keep an eye on this one. Keep an eye on this one. Watch this place. Something's about to. Come on, look at it. Don't miss this. Don't switch on it. Don't change the channel. Don't change. Come on, watch this.

[17:27] Don't get up. We are coming back. Some of you are so useful. We'll be back in a moment. Just keep watching, okay? Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. So this one. Don't touch that down.

[17:37] Okay, this one. He said, don't touch that down. Behold. Look at what's about to happen. You need to see this. It's about to happen. He said, behold, wise men. Wise men from the east.

[17:49] Now, the phrase wise men, in some of the translation, you'll find out that it says, magi.

[18:00] M-A-G-I. They were not born again like. But these people who read the stars, they understood the times.

[18:11] Right. They read the stars. Right. And they had insight into how things happen and how the movements of history.

[18:22] Things don't happen by accident in life. No. You are not here by accident. You are not here by accident. Yes. And you are not alive by accident. Even though your parents might have made a mistake, later on they realized that you are here.

[18:36] They couldn't do anything about it. Because you are not an accident. You are not a cosmic accident. Praise the Lord. This magi, Bible says that they are from the east.

[18:49] From the east. Came to Jerusalem. Where did they come to? Where was he born? Where did they come to? Jerusalem. Bethlehem was in Judea. Jerusalem was in Judea.

[19:02] Jerusalem was the capital. That's where the king was. So when they found out a king was born, guess what? They went to the capital, their palace in the capital city.

[19:13] If you are the chosen vessel, it's happening where you find yourself. It's happening where you find yourself. They made a mistake. They read the stars.

[19:24] They could follow the star. Watch this out. I have something to tell you. Let's go on. Let me show you. I'll show you. Let's move on. Let's see. And say, where is he who has been born king of the Jews?

[19:38] For we have seen his star in the east and have come to worship him. When Herod heard this, he was troubled. And all Jerusalem with him. Jerusalem was also troubled.

[19:48] What's this? The entire establishment was born. What is this guy? What are these guys? These guys are magi. They are very responsive. Big guys. They travel in convoys.

[19:59] Wealthy. They are not three wise men. Okay? They are not three. They are not three. The Bible didn't tell us whether they were two. It's definitely not one. Whether they were two or they were 20. They move. But they move.

[20:10] They are wealthy, powerful guys. They move in convoys with servants. So when they enter a city, the whole city will come to a standstill.

[20:22] Note that someone has entered here. So when they came, Jerusalem was born. What's going on? They said, where is he who is born the king of the Jews? We have seen his star and we have come to worship him.

[20:35] And the king was worried because, hey, my wife is not pregnant here. No one is born here. So what's going on here? So watch this. And when he had gathered all the chief priests, the herald, the king gathered all the chief priests and what?

[20:52] And scribes and the people together. He inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. Now who are the scribes? The scribes were people who, they were the ones who were committed with the scriptures.

[21:05] They will write it. They will make sure everything is accurate about the scriptures. Teach the people the scriptures. The priests were the people who teach. So when you want to talk about the priests in the book of Malachi.

[21:18] Malachi chapter 2 verse 7. Malachi chapter 2 verse 7. They teach the people the law of Moses. Right. So he says that for the lips of the priests shall keep knowledge and the people shall seek the law from his mouth.

[21:33] So he called the priests. How about the scribes? It is very similar. They handle, in the book of Ezra chapter 7 verse 6. It talks about how they handle the text, the law, the writings.

[21:47] Ezra chapter 7 verse 6 about the scribes. It says that, and after these things, verse 6. Ezra 7 verse 6. So the priest, he saw the people who should know what is written.

[22:01] So these guys, they were not focusing just on what is written. But they were following with their heart. Because they were looking for the king. But those who had what is written, because they were not chasing with their heart.

[22:16] They missed it when the king appeared. So they were told, hey guys, he's here. That's why I was able to behold. Look at this story. He's here. He's arrived.

[22:27] He's here. He's here. He's here. Then they all go worried. Okay. So he called the scribes. Called the priest. Look into the text and see if something like this.

[22:38] And then when they check the text, they say yes. When they say they are supposed to be born a king. Watch this. Look at it. They look at the text. In Matthew chapter 2 verse 5. So they said, in Bethlehem of Judea.

[22:51] For that it is written by the prophets. But you, you Bethlehem in the land of Judah. Are not the least among the rulers of Judah. For out of you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.

[23:07] So they said, yeah, it's written. It's true. In Bethlehem. It's written. So a king who was supposed to be born. Yeah. It took the magi. The wise men. To wake them up.

[23:19] So when the king realized this thing is true. He said, okay. You know what? Guys, go look for him. When you find him, come and tell me. So I can also come and worship him. But on their way going. The angel told them.

[23:30] Don't go back to that king. It's a wicked man. Yeah. And so verse 9 of Matthew chapter 2. When they left, guess what? I find this text very interesting.

[23:40] When they had departed and behold. Watched it. Behold. The star which they had seen in the east went before them. Right. Yeah. So you see. Their spirits or their hearts could connect with what God was doing.

[23:54] But when they were about to enter it. They began to use their natural mind to judge. Because if a king is born, it must be in the capital city. So the star left them on their own.

[24:06] When they went to the capital city and they didn't find it. Now they are going to look. The star began to lead them again. This is not an ordinary star. Bible tells us that Jesus Christ. He is the bright and the morning star.

[24:18] Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Malachi chapter 4 verse 2. He said Jesus is the bright and the morning star. Malachi chapter 4 verse 2.

[24:30] But you who fear my name, the son of righteousness, shall arise with healing in his wings. And you shall go out. Sorry. He is the son of righteousness. Go out and grow fat like.

[24:42] Shall a store fed calf. Now. So he is the son of righteousness. In Revelation chapter 22 verse 16. He says the bright and morning star.

[24:54] So in Malachi, he is the son. Not S-O-N. But S-U-N. Son is the star. The brightest star. Son of righteousness.

[25:04] But in Revelation, he said, I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the church. You have to be in church to hear what God is trying to say. All right.

[25:15] Send my angel to testify these things in the church. I am the root and the offspring of David. So long as Jewish origin is concerned, he is the root and the offspring of David.

[25:27] But as long as the church is concerned, he is the bright and the morning star. Shout hallelujah. Shout hallelujah. So they came looking for stars.

[25:38] In Numbers chapter 24 verse 17. It talks about, it's already predicted. Numbers 24 verse 17. Put it on the screen. Let's see what it says. Numbers 24 verse 17 has already spoken about Jesus' arrival as the son, the star.

[25:58] Numbers chapter 24 verse 17. I see him, but not now. I behold him, but not near.

[26:11] A star shall come out of Jacob. Okay. A star shall rise out of Israel. A star shall rise out of Israel. And batter the brow of Moab and destroy all the sons to Timoth.

[26:26] So a star was meant to rise. It was prophesied. These guys saw the star has arisen in Israel. And they said, where is he who is born the king of the Jews?

[26:39] For we saw his star in the east and we have come to worship him. And the king said, okay, guys, the scribe knew that is true. Jesus so describes.

[26:49] You said through the scriptures, John chapter 5 verse 39. You said through the scriptures, thinking that in them you have eternal life. And the scriptures are pointing to me, but you will not come to me. Because that means that their heart is not for God.

[27:03] It's just their head. Mental exercise. You hear so many people who say, oh, me, I've been to church. I know this. I know. It's just all in the mind, but not in the heart. There's a way you can try and follow God with your mind.

[27:13] It doesn't mean you know God in your heart. You can know all the theology, but guess what? You still have nobody so long as heaven is concerned. But when your heart is after God, the theology, as you are taught, you begin to understand some things better and better and better.

[27:32] Let me round up with this message about the wise men going to find him. So the star led them to where he was born. And when he arrived, when they arrived, Bible says in the verse 11, verse 9.

[27:46] Okay. Verse 9. And when they are come, they depart. No, let's go. Let's go straight to verse 10. Quickly, let's go to verse 10. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great exceeding joy.

[27:58] And then verse 11 says that. And when they had come into the house, they saw the young child marry his mother and fell. Guess what? These guys are big guys.

[28:08] A child, they fell down and worshipped him. Hmm. And when they had opened their treasure, they presented gifts to him.

[28:21] What did they give? This is why I'm sure they said three wise men. What were they gifts? Go, Frank, his steps and men. One more time. Go, Frank, his steps and men. For the last time.

[28:31] Go, Frank, his steps and men. In the scriptures, when you read the book of Leviticus, there's what we call, what is called typology. God told them when they were making the anointing oil, he told them use this, use this, because everything has significance.

[28:47] Right. So there are significance for gold. There's a significance for gold, significance for frankincense and significance for men. And that's what I want to mention. I don't want to talk about because my time is up.

[28:58] Gold, frankincense and men. Gold signifies deity. Gold signifies gold. So anytime you are reading the Bible, come across gold. It's trying to point you to something about gold.

[29:10] It talks about the divinity, the deity. Gold. Gold. That's why the ark of the covenant, it was overlaid with gold. Gold.

[29:22] Gold. So the statement was that this is, they were presenting, but they didn't know that it was a statement. This is God with us, Emmanuel.

[29:35] God himself has stepped in from Genesis. This is why Genesis happened. Genesis happened so that Christmas can happen. Frankincense. Very interesting when I found out. Frankincense, you know what it stands for?

[29:47] It stands for resurrection. Frankincense stands for resurrection. And they presented Frankincense, but the guy hasn't died yet.

[29:58] He, I think in John chapter 11 verse 25, when Lazarus was there, he told them, he didn't say, they were expecting, okay, maybe you can resurrect him. No, I'm not coming to resurrection. He said, I am the resurrection.

[30:10] All right. So once he was alive, he was the resurrection. Anything, anytime he comes around things, things begin to live again. Oh. Jesus comes around you, things live for you.

[30:26] Sometimes he didn't have to touch them. They have to just touch him. Contact with him makes him come back to life. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. And mer. Interestingly, mer signifies death.

[30:39] But it should have been gold, mer, and frankincense. But it's gold, frankincense, and mer. Resurrection before death. Wow. Death there was a reflection that he came to die.

[30:54] He's living to die for us. In Hebrews chapter 2, Bible says that. Hallelujah. Hebrews chapter 2. I feel too excited about this one. Oh, please, let me just get over this excitement.

[31:05] Thank you, Jesus. Hebrews chapter 2, verse 9. Hebrews chapter 2, verse 9. I'm telling you, you understand why I got excited. He said that, but we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of what?

[31:18] Death. Why was he made a little lower than the angels for the suffering? I said, why was he made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death? So the reason why he was little lower than angels is a statement to say that human beings.

[31:28] He was made a human being. The reason why he became a human being is because of death. Because spirits don't die. Angels don't die. But someone must die on our behalf.

[31:42] Yes. So that's why the Easter story is a Christmas story. At his birth, the wise men were celebrating his death.

[31:55] So, so, so, he says that for this reason, he was made, he was made a little lower than the, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor, that he, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.

[32:08] Amen. Taste death for everyone. For everyone, he has to die for us. Taste death for everyone. In fact, he says somewhere, he said, when Peter said, you can't go and die.

[32:21] He said, get behind me, Satan. Get behind me. I have to die. He said, accept the cone of wheat. John chapter 2, chapter 12, verse 24. A son of, a son of a cone of wheat falls to the ground and dies.

[32:32] He's a bias alone. But if I die, I can bring many sons to God. Hebrews chapter 2, verse 11. He says that in as much as, Hebrews chapter 2, verse 11.

[32:45] For, for, for, for both he who sanctifies and those who have been sanctified are of one. For which reason is not ashamed to call them brethren. Look at the next verse. Verse 12. Saying, I'll declare your name to my brethren in the midst of the, go, I think that, the verse 10 I'm looking for, please.

[33:00] The verse 10. Go back to verse 10. Let me see. For, for, okay, that's the one I'm looking for. For, for, for it is fitting for him, for whom are all things, by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation, perfect, true, suffering.

[33:17] He says the captain of our salvation. God tells it was good. Let me make him perfect, true, the way he will suffer. The things he suffered made him, perfect doesn't mean when he was born he wasn't, he had crooked life.

[33:27] No. Mature. Make him proper, accurate, fully. Do you understand that? Perfect. Perfect. Sometimes you buy something, or those of us who have children, when a child is four years, someone is, they give him a birthday present, a birthday shoe, that is for six years.

[33:43] The child can wear it now because he's not perfect. You understand what he said? So now, now that he's six, he's six, it's perfect.

[33:56] It fits so well. Good fitting. That's right. That's right. That's right. Jesus was made perfect through suffering. He was made suitable. Yeah.

[34:07] Accurate, proper. Yeah. Yeah. Fitting for us through his suffering. Yeah. So, the man means that he came to suffer, to die.

[34:17] In verse 14 of Hebrews chapter 2, verse 14, he says that, I like that. That one is a serious one. Are you ready for this one? Are you ready? This is serious. Are you ready? Hold on.

[34:28] Sit tight before you fall off the sheet. This is so good. Serious. Watch this. He said, that's all we have together. Are you ready? Let's go. Read it out loud. Let's go. He has not been as the children of the flesh and blood.

[34:40] He likewise shared in the same. What's the same? Flesh and blood. Okay. He also shared in flesh and blood. That's why he came. Christmas. He was coming to also be like us. Because we are flesh and blood.

[34:51] So, he said, okay, let me also share in the same. But why? Why? Let's continue. That through death. He must destroy him. The devil.

[35:04] And then release those. Verse 15 says, release those who through their fear of death have been subject. Through their death were all their lifetime subject to bone. The devil is messing people up.

[35:15] So, Jesus says, okay, I'm coming to be like them. And then I will die and face the devil. And hold the devil and just give him a knockout.

[35:30] Give him a knockout. And then tell you that now you are free. He who the son says free is free. Come on, let's enjoy like that. Come on, someone. Shout hallelujah. Shout hallelujah. Christmas is definitely bad news for the devil.

[35:44] Yes. So, if you don't celebrate Christmas. When Mayu scores. And then who?

[35:55] Who? Who? Mayu. Mayu. Mayu. Defeated who? Chelsea? Or Asana? Mayu defeated Asana. And then Asana supporters, what did they do?

[36:07] While Mayu supporters. Go Rooney. Go Rooney. Go Rooney. Go Rooney. So, Christmas is just like that. Hey, go Jesus. Go heaven. Go Jesus. Go Jesus.

[36:19] And the devil and his demons. Somebody shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you for listening to this message by David Entry.
