A Child....Grows Up 12-23-01

Isaiah 9:6 a child…..grows up

7th grade moved to calif, dad bought us a reel mower.
Cute, cool, started to use it, oh boy, what a challenge

Babies are cool, cute, joyful, but they grow up
Jesus grew up
In temple at age 12
Kept growing, heard little of him
Tempted in wilderness

Repent, kingdom of God is near
Woawwww the baby grew up, and his message is a handful

We make the mistake of thinking only of the sweet baby in the manger
What if that baby stood up in the manger and called us to account
Called us to repentance
A stop treating others the way you have been
B stop putting your desires first
C

Isaiah 9:1 and Matthew 4:12-17
The land is blessed with both messages
God calls for a child, a son, a teacher, a savior, one who calls us to repent and follow

Don’t let the land of your Christmas be void of the Jesus who calls us to follow him

Prayer time

Walk to the manger
