INTRO: Our subject this morning is, who was born at Christmas? It is not my view that Jesus was born on December 25th. But it is without question that He was born, and that is a huge miracle as we will see. And if we commemorate a day in honor of His birth, I am OK with December 25th. I think He was born in the spring time of the year. I have preached on this in the past. I believe He was born when the Passover lambs were born, and He was born where the Passover lambs were born, and He walked the path the Passover lambs walked when they went to the slaughter, and He entered the same gate those Passover lambs entered and He died at precisely the time the Passover lambs died. And this morning we commemorate the birth of the Messiah. On the Christian calendar we commemorate some other dates as well which we can determine at least a little more closely. We call the one Good Friday, but it is actually the Passover. It is the time when the Passover lambs died. It is the day Christ died. We have another day sometimes called Easter, which is a worse name than Good Friday, but it commemorates the resurrection of Christ. That day is the Jewish feast day of First-fruits. Then we commemorate Christ’s ascension. Then we commemorate Pentecost, which is ten days later and which is the birthday of the Church. Now my question this morning is, “Who Was Born On the day we call Christmas? What is His name?” We are going to look at three points: His name revealed; His name relinquished; and His name recovered.
