Text:    Luke 1:26-56

Sermon in a prayer:  The greatest joy of Christmas is found in personal salvation.

                                 

The joy of Christmas becomes deeply personal when we realize...

I.       The best of people need God's grace—verse 30.

  • Grace—unsolicited and undeserved generosity from God

 

II.      The best of people need to experience Christ as Savior—verse 47.

  • To know Him as Savior we must come before Him in humility
