Introduction:

Need: We need to respond to Jesus

Preview: Today we are going to see that the offer of salvation may not be convenient, is available to all, and demands a response.

Setting the Stage:

Body

The offer of salvation may not come at the most convent time for you (1-7).

God has access to a much bigger picture than you or I (1-3).

God is in control of even the small details (4-5).

God's details are part of His plan and might not be convent for you but they are still good (6-7).

MTR: Consider how have you allowed timing to interfere with your response to God's call for you?

The offer of salvation is available to all (8-14)

The shepherds were the most unlikely recipients of God's message.

The words of the message emphasize the significance of the event.

The sign of verification can be tested without specialized instruments.

Image: The Check Engine light

Have you ever had your check engine light come on? It is great right, it tells you something is going on that you need to address. However, the problem is that you need special equipment to know what it is saying. Then you have to be able to interpret the codes. Finally, you can start working on the car. Back when I used to evaluate vehicle emissions one of the requirements was that we evaluate the check engine light. I cannot tell you how many times the issue was simply that the person did not tighten their gas cap.

The marketing reveals the target audience.

MTR: Consider the proclamation have you accepted that salvation is available to you personally?=

The offer of salvation demands a response (15-20)

=The shepherds actions demonstrate their acceptance of reality (15-16)

Accepting reality requires more than just words but action.

The shepherds proclamation demonstrate their acceptance of the value of Jesus (17).

The people demonstrate the genuine of the shepherds response (18-19).

The shepherds departure reminds us of our ultimate goal (20).

Have you ever failed to respond when your spouse asked you a question?

MTR: Respond to the offer of salvation: accept, proclaim and glorify.
