The Wonderful Sign of Christ’s Coming Isaiah 7:14 & Matthew 1:22-23
Review and Introduction: Jesus Christ is the Great theme of Scripture. In the Old Testament we have prediction and in the New Testament we have fulfillment.
I. God’s Miraculous Sign Given… A. The Meaning and Significance of signs in general… 1. Unbelievers receive the same signs…Matthew 12:39; i.e. I Corinthians 1:22 2. They cannot understand…I Corinthians 2:14; John 3:3 cf. Matthew 16:2-3 3. By Grace the believer understands and is helped…I Corinthians 2:12
B. The Sign of the Pregnant Virgin… 1. Understand the setting and who Ahaz was…I Kings 16:2-4 2. Ahaz rejected the help of God…
Lessons: a. Man’s depravity… b. God’s reasonableness…
3. God Himself gave the sign in covenantal faithfulness… a. A virgin shall conceive… b. Nothing is too hard for God…
II. God’s Glorious Son… A. Jesus is Mary’s First born son…Matthew 1:20-22
