Aim: To enjoy Christmas in Canaan—as we rejoice in Christ our Savior.
Doctrine: Redeemed Canaan reminds the church of Christmas: the covenant land is rich and full, but God's very best gift came last.
Exegesis: The categories of gifts the Heavenly Father bestows on His children: God gives His church the world (vv. 22-25), His word (v. 26), and His Son (v. 27).
Further application: How the church celebrates Christmas in Canaan today: we are to appreciate all the good things the Lord gives us, but we are to treasure our Lord Jesus as our sole and ultimate prize.
Key verse: v. 27 ''Therefore You delivered them into the hand of their enemies, who oppressed them; and in the time of their trouble, when they cried to You, You heard from heaven; and according to Your abundant mercies You gave them deliverers who saved them from the hand of their enemies.''
