Last week we looked at the concept of the Advent Season and found initially that Advent focused on the two comings of Jesus to this world.  The second advent we are still anticipating, but today the first advent we are celebrating.  When Jesus came to this earth the first time what were His reasons?  What are the reasons for the season?
Jesus’ first coming was . . .
To demonstrate a submissive intention
John 6:38
38) For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Jesus’ first coming was . . .
To reveal our Sovereign's identity
John 1:14,18
14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
18) No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Jesus’ first coming was . . .
To deal with our sin issue
Matthew 1:21
21) And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. 
Jesus’ first coming was . . .
To free from satanic intrusion
1 John 3:8
8) He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 
Jesus’ first coming was . . .
To prepare for the second initiative
Hebrews 9:28
28) So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Big Idea:
Christmas: a celebration where
love was the manifestation.
