Sermon Overview

Scripture Passage: Luke 1:35

Many who don’t believe in Jesus will call Him a great moral teacher. But when we look closely at His teachings, we find that He left no room for interpretation. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and the story of Christmas is a tribute to the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Luke 1:35 says, “And the angel answered and said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.’”

The doctrine of the Trinity is what makes our faith different from all other faiths.

First, we must recognize the sublime mystery of the Trinity.

We will never understand the Holy Trinity by human investigation, logic, or science. The only way we can know about the Holy Trinity is by divine revelation.

There is one God, and He is a triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. If we try to understand it on our own, we will lose our minds; if we deny it, we may lose our souls.

Adrian Rogers says, “I wouldn’t have any confidence in a God that I could understand.”

Second, we recognize the sacred history of the Trinity.

John 1:1-3 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”

There is no contradiction between the three, because they are One. The Trinity, together, created the world, composed the Scriptures, conceived the Christ, and commissioned the Church.

Finally, we recognize the saving ministry of the Trinity.

Through the Holy Trinity, we have our salvation. Salvation has been in the heart and mind of God before we were ever born. The Father thought it, the Son bought it, and the Holy Spirit wrought it.

Adrian Rogers says, “You have been selected by the Father, saved by the Son, and sealed by the Spirit.”

Because of the mystery of the manger, the blessing of Bethlehem, and the treasures of the Trinity, we can never lose our salvation.

Apply it to your life

It’s not enough to simply accept the intellectual premise of the Holy Trinity. Give your heart to Jesus, the Son of God.
