SALVATION HAS COME

Luke 2:21-38

I. JESUS IS OUR SALVATION

1. Salvation is the deliverance, by the grace of God, from eternal punishment for sin. Luke 2:21, Rom 5:9, 1 Thess 5:9
2. Salvation is available in Jesus alone and is dependent on God alone for provision, assurance, and security. Acts 4:12, 2 Cor 1:22, 1 Peter 1:5
3. Salvation is granted to those who trust God’s conditions of repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus. Luke 2:30, Acts 20:21

II. JESUS IS THE CONSOLATION OF ISRAEL

1. The Consolation means Jesus is the Messiah. Luke 2:25, John 4:25-26
2. Jesus is the Lord’s Christ. Luke 2:26, 30-32, John 3:16-17
3. Jesus will lead Israel and the Gentiles to salvation. Luke 2:34-36, Acts 13:47-48, Isa 60:1-3

III. ANNA CALLED JESUS OUR REDEEMER

1. Sin separates us from God. Isa 59:2, Rom 6:23, Rom 3:23
2. Anna praised the baby Jesus because He came to redeem us from our sins. John 1:19, Eph 1:7, Heb 9:12-15
