The Christmas Story According to Jesus
Hebrews 10:5-7
Pastor Marv, Grace Bible Church
12-13-20

The Christmas story is found or alluded to in many places in the Bible. Some of the accounts contain a lot of detail; some, not so much. And each account is told from a different perspective. Matthew 1-2 tells the story primarily from Joseph’s perspective. Luke 1-2, from Mary’s. Galatians 4:4-5, from Paul’s. And there are others. Today we’ll look at the story as it comes from the lips of Jesus. It’s recorded in Hebrews 10:5-7, in what, as we’ll see, records a conversation between Jesus and the Father. Let’s take a look at some of the things this record tells us about Jesus first advent.

His coming was promised.

• Jewish expectations of Messiah’s arrival, were extremely high in the first century.

The speaker…Jesus.

The subject…His first coming. “…when He comes” actually looks backward to a time before His coming.

The source of the quote…Psalm 40:6-8.

According to Hebrews 10:1-4…

Recall what the angel said to Joseph in Matthew 1:21…
His coming followed a unique plan.

• “…a body You have prepared for Me…” (verse 5). Those “preparations” involved the amazing… the miraculous…the supernatural…touch of God in more ways than we can count. Such as…





• The greatest miracle of them all…



His coming is as God’s only provision for the forgiveness of sins.
