A Jewish Christmas

A Jewish Christmas
December 20 2009

Mathew 12:33-37
Romans 2:28-29

We are Gods chosen people. The seed of Abraham, therefore we are Jewish (even if not physically). Jew=believer. (romans2:28-29) As Christians we are more Jewish than Jews b/c Jews do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah. We are more the chosen ppl then the ppl who actually have a physical connection by blood to Abraham. 

Proof u are a Jew:: 
Romans 2:17-24
1) rely on the word (get to a place as a believer where u need the word. Quoting scriptures & expecting things yo come to pass b/c it says so in the bible.) 
2) brag on ur relationship with God. (telling ppl what God has done for u)
3) know his will. 
4) approve of what is superior. (u know right & wrong or better from worse. Look at the world thru the eyes of the word).
5) you are the light of the world. 
-guide for the blind (unsaved)
-light for those in darkness (lost/confused) 
-instructor of the foolish (counselor)
-teacher of infants (babes in the Lord)

Romans 2:24 (Gentiles= ppl who don't know the Lord)
 
Outward circumsicion = All the things that make up our customs/church life. Sacrafice.

Circumcision of the heart = not ur beating heart but your soul. How? By your mouth! Mathew 12:33 (quality of the fruit is determined by the stuff that gets put in you. Mathew 12: 34-35 ( ur heart/soul & ur mouth are connected. If bitterness is in your heart, bitterness comes out). You are a special somebody if u can keep what's on your heart off of your face. Romans10:9-10 your heart is also affected by your mouth. Confession does something to you on the inside. If you say something enough it becomes apart of you. Perfect example as to why movie stars fall in love after acting roles together. Perfect example why the military makes you say things, sing songs, & yes sir weather you feel it or not. That's what the Lord wants to hear, sir yes sir. Start saying yes Lord even when u don't feel it; the more u say it, the more u will mean it. Say the right things to get your heart in the right place. Where u are in your life right now is due to things you have said & spoke over your life in your past. 

Get to a place where we realize our circumcision/relationship with God is not just outward but inward also.
