During the Christmas season, many Christians sing the hymn "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," which depicts the longing of the people of God for their Savior. This hope for the Savior is grounded in the Old Testament and its revelation of the Messiah. In this plan, we will look closely at the Old Testament promises about the Messiah and see how Christ perfectly fills that role.

The Coming of the Messiah

The false gods invented by humankind to give definition to a god they knew must exist, were, unsurprisingly, very much like humankind. They had to be cajoled and bribed by acts of devotion to take notice of us. 
But the one true God has taken the initiative and seeks us out––to rescue us back to himself. And that is the Christmas story.


CHRISTMAS: God's Rescue Plan Realised

We will reflect on Scripture in both the Old and New Testaments that all point towards the coming of Christ.

The Real Purpose of Christmas

One of the many Christmas traditions for families is to set out a nativity scene depicting the birth of Jesus.  Usually, we see Mary, Joseph, shepherds, sheep, and wise men surrounding a tiny baby in a manger.  It’s a picturesque scene to remind us of Jesus’ birth.

Get Positioned for Christmas

Our Daily Bread: Celebrating Jesus

The true intention behind Advent was a way of preparing one’s heart for Christmas. It was a way to create a posture like Simeon: “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 on him” (Luke 2:25). This devotional by Dan Stanford is designed to help us do that.

The Adventures of Christmas 

“All generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me,” Mary sang. And she was right. She became the mother of Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God! This gives her a unique position in God’s salvation plan. This reading plan is about Mary, a humble and blessed woman with great faith.

Mary, Did You Know?

The celebration of Christmas is less about Jesus being born in a manger and more about Him being born because we matter. God came to be with us because He didn’t want our world to be without Him. He intentionally chose the name Immanuel because He was no longer simply watching us, warning us, and waiting for us to get it right. He was with us. In this devotional, you will be challenged with a fresh perspective as you prepare for the Christmas season.

Christmas is a time when we as believers celebrate God’s heart to write himself into our story. Prior to Jesus, we had no real picture of God’s love.

More than a name, Emmanuel is a declaration of heaven meeting Earth: God with us in despair, struggle, and brokenness. At Christmas, God came to redeem people in need of a Savior and light the darkness with His love. As we remember and celebrate His coming, HOPE International—a global nonprofit accelerating the end of poverty—explores how Jesus’ followers can bring His holy, healing presence into a broken world.

Our lives may be hard and complicated but in no way is it pointless with Jesus in it. Will you allow heaven to invade your life and live with a greater awareness of God’s presence and purpose for your life?

living room, give thanks to the One who gave Himself for you. -Jack Graham
