His Undiminished Deity (2378) | Love Worth Finding Ministries

Sermon Overview

Scripture Reference: Matthew 1:20-23

Matthew 1:21-23 says, “She (Mary) shall bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus; for He shall save His people from their sins.’

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, ‘Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which, being interpreted, is God with us.’”

Who was this Child born of a virgin? Who is this One that we call Jesus?

Adrian Rogers says, “Not only is He the Son of God, He is God the Son.”

In order to know who Jesus is, we have to acknowledge the doctrine of the Trinity—God in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We may not understand the mystery of the Trinity, but that is a good thing! If we were to understand God, we would lack confidence in Him. We cannot cram the God of the universe and His mysterious ways into our human intellect. The Trinity cannot be understood… it must be believed.

We can see the manifestation of the Trinity unfold throughout Scripture. Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” The Hebrew word for “God” here is a plural translation.

John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” And verse 14 says, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us...”

Jesus became a singular manifestation of the plural God, a visible one-third of the invisible Trinity: God the Son.

Our destiny rides on the unchanging ministry of the Trinity.

Adrian Rogers says, “You are selected by the Father. He loved you before you were ever born. You were saved by the Son. You are sealed by the Spirit.”

Because of the Christmas story, we as children of God have been given a new benediction: God loves you. Jesus saved you. The Holy Spirit empowers you.
