[2987.88 --> 2988.14] as the
[2988.14 --> 2988.58] teacher
[2988.58 --> 2989.60] writing in
[2989.60 --> 2990.28] Ecclesiastes
[2990.28 --> 2990.82] says,
[2991.20 --> 2991.94] God has
[2991.94 --> 2992.88] set eternity
[2992.88 --> 2993.86] in every
[2993.86 --> 2994.70] human
[2994.70 --> 2995.50] heart.
[2996.26 --> 2996.86] And that,
[2997.30 --> 2997.88] my friends,
[2998.10 --> 2998.58] is what
[2998.58 --> 2999.28] Christmas
[2999.28 --> 3000.44] gives us
[3000.44 --> 3001.16] a glimpse
[3001.16 --> 3002.20] into.
[3003.56 --> 3004.20] Eternity
[3004.20 --> 3004.90] entered
[3004.90 --> 3005.50] into
[3005.50 --> 3006.46] time.
[3010.72 --> 3011.58] This is
[3011.58 --> 3012.00] how the
[3012.00 --> 3012.42] birth of
[3012.42 --> 3012.72] Jesus,
[3012.98 --> 3013.46] the Messiah,
[3013.74 --> 3014.24] came about.
[3015.22 --> 3015.66] Mary was
[3015.66 --> 3016.18] found to
[3016.18 --> 3016.66] be pregnant
[3016.66 --> 3017.54] through the
[3017.54 --> 3018.32] Holy Spirit.
[3019.58 --> 3020.36] The angel
[3020.36 --> 3020.78] of the Lord
[3020.78 --> 3021.58] appeared to
[3021.58 --> 3022.36] Joseph and
[3022.36 --> 3022.66] said,
[3022.80 --> 3023.14] what is
[3023.14 --> 3023.72] conceived
[3023.72 --> 3024.36] in her
[3024.36 --> 3025.20] is from
[3025.20 --> 3025.86] the Holy
[3025.86 --> 3026.86] Spirit.
[3027.28 --> 3027.82] All this
[3027.82 --> 3028.56] took place
[3028.56 --> 3029.18] to fulfill
[3029.18 --> 3029.54] what the
[3029.54 --> 3029.96] Lord had
[3029.96 --> 3030.48] said through
[3030.48 --> 3030.98] the prophet.
[3031.34 --> 3031.76] The virgin
[3031.76 --> 3032.44] will conceive
[3032.44 --> 3032.98] and give
[3032.98 --> 3033.42] birth to
[3033.42 --> 3033.86] a son,
[3034.28 --> 3034.62] and they
[3034.62 --> 3035.20] will call
[3035.20 --> 3035.62] him
[3035.62 --> 3037.18] Emmanuel,
[3038.26 --> 3039.14] which means
[3039.14 --> 3040.20] God
[3040.20 --> 3041.62] with us.
[3042.32 --> 3042.64] The
[3042.64 --> 3043.78] transcendent
[3043.78 --> 3044.74] has become
[3044.74 --> 3045.44] imminent.
[3045.70 --> 3045.98] God
[3045.98 --> 3046.98] with us.
[3047.08 --> 3047.60] Emmanuel,
[3047.84 --> 3048.34] the infinite
[3048.34 --> 3049.20] has become
[3049.20 --> 3049.92] finite.
[3050.26 --> 3050.64] God
[3050.64 --> 3051.16] became
[3051.16 --> 3051.82] man.
[3051.96 --> 3052.24] Let that
[3052.24 --> 3053.00] echo in your
[3053.00 --> 3053.98] hearts for a
[3053.98 --> 3054.18] moment.
[3054.34 --> 3054.64] God
[3054.64 --> 3055.08] became
[3055.08 --> 3055.66] man.
[3055.76 --> 3055.98] Let that
[3055.98 --> 3056.86] reverberate in
[3056.86 --> 3058.02] your imaginations
[3058.02 --> 3058.68] because the
[3058.68 --> 3059.70] true story of
[3059.70 --> 3061.04] Christmas is
[3061.04 --> 3062.22] the incarnation,
[3062.64 --> 3062.90] right, where
[3062.90 --> 3063.88] God took on
[3063.88 --> 3064.60] flesh to
[3064.60 --> 3065.82] ransom us.
[3065.92 --> 3066.62] The true story
[3066.62 --> 3067.18] of Christmas
[3067.18 --> 3067.88] is the
[3067.88 --> 3068.94] incarnation where
[3068.94 --> 3069.84] she will give
[3069.84 --> 3070.54] birth to a
[3070.54 --> 3071.34] son and you
