TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - Why Did Jesus Make Himself Into a Human Embryo?

Episode Date: December 28, 2022

Why was Jesus Christ born in Bethlehem over two thousand years ago? God has had a controversy with the nations of the Earth since the first nations were formed after Noah’s Great Flood. Controversy... is an offense. Hosea, the Old Testament prophet, said that God was offended by nations. The angels announced the end of hostilities between Heaven and Earth, the end of the controversy between God and nations. They proclaimed that God was sending good will toward humanity through the birth of Jesus Christ. Our carol selection today reflects the end of that great controversy and the declaration that Jesus has come to redeem mankind. Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to another special Christmas week edition of True News. Our regular programming will resume on Monday, January 2nd, 2023. Why was Jesus Christ born in Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago? Why did the Son of God depart heaven and all its splendor to become an embryo in the womb of a human woman he made and gave a soul? I'm going to talk about it in a few minutes. First, however, Tommy Sellers and Rick Creevey are here again. These two talented musical artists will perform O Holy Night. Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
Starting point is 00:01:11 It is the night of our dear Savior's birth The Lord is with you. felt its worth A thrill of hope The weary world rejoices For yonder breaks A new and glorious morn Fall on your knees Oh, hear the angel voices All night divine All night when Christ was born O night divine O night, O night divine I And in His name all oppression shall cease Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Let all within us praise his holy name. Christ is the Lord Forever every praise we Noel, Noel, O night, oh night divine Noel, Noel O night O holy night night My question today is, why was Jesus Christ born in Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago? To find the answer, we must go back in time to the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve committed the first sin by disobeying the only commandment they were instructed to keep. Do not eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good
Starting point is 00:06:13 and evil. Satan beguiled Eve. She twisted and misquoted God's instructions given to Adam, and Eve tempted her husband to join her in eating the forbidden fruit. They were expelled from the Garden of Eden and compelled to dwell in the wasteland, where Adam had to do laborious work each day to acquire sufficient food. Adam and Eve and all humans thereafter were expelled from the Garden of Eden. Yet the garden is where God, our Father, desired His children to dwell. His original intention was for Adam to take dominion over the earth and expand the borders of the garden to cover the whole planet. God also never intended for men and women and animals to die.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Death came to the world through Adam's sin. Human beings have been separated from their heavenly father ever since, ever since Adam's fall in the Garden of Eden. Thus, Satan became the illegitimate father of the human race. He's an imposter. Our true father is God in heaven. He desires to be reconciled with his children on earth. From the beginning, God had a plan to restore fallen humanity to himself. In the third chapter of the book of Genesis, verse 15, we read a curse and prophecy spoken by God to Lucifer, the fallen angel whom God expelled from heaven for his sins of pride and rebellion.
Starting point is 00:07:43 He said, I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel. Well, God told Lucifer that he would put enmity between Lucifer and the woman. Enmity means hatred. Thus God said, Lucifer, I will impose on you Eve's hatred and every woman after her too. Well, think about this.
Starting point is 00:08:11 How many women do you know who love snakes? I've never known a woman who wanted to hold a snake and make it her pet. Typically, the first thing a woman says when she sees a snake slithering on the ground is kill it. The enmity is still there. God also said he would put enmity between Satan's seed and the woman's seed. Her seed refers primarily to Jesus Christ and secondarily to all humans who believe in his name. Every man and woman who are in Christ are also his seed. Therefore, all Christians are the enemy of Satan. There is enmity between the saints and Satan. There is also enmity between the seed of Christ and the seed of Satan. God also prophesied to Lucifer by telling the serpent that the woman's seed shall bruise the devil's head.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Genesis 3, 15 says, He shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel. God did not say they shall bruise your head and you shall bruise their heels. Thus God the Father was speaking about his son, Jesus. Jesus shall bruise your head. Satan, you shall bruise Jesus' heel. The serpent's head represents Satan's chief instrument of wickedness and rebellion,
Starting point is 00:09:39 which is his power to produce death. Jesus Christ, the seed of the woman, would someday strike Satan's head and remove the sting of death. That is precisely what Jesus Christ did for you and me on the cross and through his resurrection. He conquered death. And without the birth of Jesus,
Starting point is 00:09:59 there could not be the crucifixion, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. Nor could there by a second coming of Jesus Christ establish his kingdom forever. Jesus left heaven as the Son of God and became the Son of Man when he entered the womb of Mary as a human embryo. Well, here is our very talented classical guitarist, Greg Ryderder performing What Child is This? Thank you. අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි I'm a little lonely Thank you. අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි The Word of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, Old Testament prophet Hosea cried out to the people of Israel, Hear the word of the Lord, O people of Israel,
Starting point is 00:12:59 for the Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land. There is no faithfulness or kindness and no knowledge of God in the land. God has had a controversy with the nations of the earth since the first nations were formed after Noah's great flood. Controversy is an offense. Hosea said God was offended by the nations. Thousands of years passed by between the great flood and the birth of Jesus Christ. Throughout that time, God was offended by the behavior of nations. He was separated from men and women, yet he desired to be reconciled with humanity. With this thought in our minds, that God desires to be reconciled with humanity, with this thought in our minds,
Starting point is 00:13:49 that God desires to be reconciled to men and women. Let's read verses 8 through 14 in the second chapter of the Gospel, according to St. Luke. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid.
Starting point is 00:14:11 And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men. A multitude of angels, more than could be counted, sang in the sky above Bethlehem,
Starting point is 00:14:53 glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men. The angels announced the end of hostilities between heaven and earth, the end of the controversy between God and nations. They proclaimed that God was sending goodwill toward humanity. How would this peace and goodwill be bestowed upon men and women? It would come to them through the cross. The baby that was in the Bethlehem manger would someday die on a cross for our sins,
Starting point is 00:15:27 but he would resurrect himself from the grave, ascend to heaven, and sit on his throne on the right side of God the Father, making intercession for the people on earth who believe in his name and are baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The angels sang glory to God in the highest. God is in the highest heaven. There is a heaven above the earth that we call the atmosphere. There is another heaven that we call outer space. The dwelling place of God is the highest heaven. Angelic praise is heard continually in the very heaven of heavens, in the highest regions of the universe.
Starting point is 00:16:11 The plan to redeem mankind brings glory to God. The cross is the highest expression of God's love for mankind. The angelic praise of redemption of fallen humanity was not to be confined to earth, but it was meant to be proclaimed throughout the universe. Our house band is here to perform the hymn, Glory to God in the highest And peace to His people. Oh, no. Lord God, heavenly King Almighty God and Father We worship you, we give you thanks
Starting point is 00:17:37 We praise you for your glory Glory to God in the highest and peace to his people Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father Lord God, Lamb of God You take away the sin of the world have mercy on us you are seated at the right hand of our prayer glory to God in the highest and peace to his people on earth Glory to God in the highest
Starting point is 00:19:15 And peace to His people on earth. Jesus came to earth to make peace with mankind. The angels sang glory to God in the highest. They communicated the purpose of mankind and the reason God created the earth. The Westminster Confession declares, Why do we celebrate Christmas? Well, Jesus' birth, death, and resurrection has reconciled mankind to their maker. Jesus was born to glorify his heavenly Father.
Starting point is 00:20:08 He died to glorify his Father. He saves our souls to bring glory to his Father. We live our lives on earth in faith and obedience to God and in love toward others so that we may glorify God. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is an old English Christmas carol. An anonymous manuscript from the 1650s contains the earliest version of the carol. The lyrics say,
Starting point is 00:20:33 God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay, for Jesus Christ our Savior was born upon this day to save poor souls from Satan's power which long time had gone astray, which brings tidings of comfort and joy. The carol is also known as Tidings of Comfort and Joy.
Starting point is 00:20:53 The meaning of the phrase, God rest you, merry gentlemen, is may God grant you peace and happiness. Tidings is an old English word for news. The carol means that heaven has good news for mankind. God desires to grant peace and joy through the birth of His Son, Jesus Christ. Our final carol today is God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,
Starting point is 00:21:15 performed by our house band. God rest ye merry gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day to save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, oh, tidings of the same. How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy. piano plays softly Fear nothing, said the angel, let nothing you affright This day is born a Savior Of a pure virgin bright To free all those who trust in Him
Starting point is 00:23:55 From Satan's power and might Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy. O tidings of comfort and joy. you
