The manger - the wood of the cross. The whole reason He came. A body to be bruised and broken. A circulatory system so there would be blood to flow for remission of our sins. Two hands created to be nailed. Two feet created to be nailed. The love of our suffering Savior is a love we cannot comprehend.
A sincere thank you with much gratitude and wishing you and your family a very blessed Christmas Eve and day tomorrow Rev Bryan Wolfmeuller, and also for everyone on this group the same. Glory in the highest and honour and praise be to our God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
I loved that you drew together all the symbols…swaddling clothes, burial wrapping, cross, wooden manger… things I’ve never heard or pondered before. Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Thank you for the inspirational message. I'm getting ready for my first Christmas service with my church tonight after being welcomed in earlier this year. I was not raised as an orthodox Christian and was only baptized last year. I discovered Lutheranism relatively late in my journey, but I have loved what I've been learning and want to keep soaking it in. I was not previously aware of the connection between these verses, so thank you for sharing this. I'll ponder on it throughout the day and at the service tonight. This is the word of the Lord (literally, apparently in the case of Psalm 40). Thanks be to God.
Tp help people read the Bible chronologically in a year and push past Exodus 23 and more specifically Leviticus is exactly why I wrote and published Your Daily Companion to the Bible: Making Sense of It to Transform Your Life. AI said St. Francis said that the wood of the manger became the wood of the cross. I LOVED how you said he had a back, a face, a head as you described the sacrifice of his body for us. It truly helped reflect and be humbled by all Jesus went through for us. Hebrews 10:10. A beautiful day to read Psalm 40 and Hebrews 10. Thank you for all your teaching. And thank you for letting us put some of your videos in the Texas District Evangelist training. It truly made it stronger. Have a blessed Merry Christmas.
Thank you for this because it explains exactly why I do not buy into the God and Jesus Christ for one being malarkey. If God the father and his son are having a discussion that they are two separate beings discussing how to conspire to accomplish the same purpose, making them one in purpose, but not necessarily one in being.
Thank you for all of your discussion, wisdom, and insights, Pastor Wolfmueller. I truly enjoy listening to you here, and also on KFUO. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
The idea of linking the manger and the cross is more accurately attributed to 20th-century German preacher Helmut Thielicke, who said that "the crib and the cross are of the same wood". This sentiment aligns with Luther's theology, even if it wasn't his exact words.
Could you say too... That the goats,lambs, turtle doves...did not take on God's wrath ? Where as Jesus took upon himself the wrath of God for me ? Merry Christmas
Great Drive Home but I still, STILL miss Luther hanging in the back seat…or again, has he moved off camera and now sits up front? Say it ain’t so, Joe! Merry Christmas ya’ll!!! God’s Peace to all you UA-cam theologians and a SAFE New Year!!!
It’s kind of disappointing that Jews altered the masoretic text so much to try and point away from Jesus. The Septuagint is so much more faithful and pure.
Very interesting and thoughtful message....but riddle me this: Why did a perfect Creator Yahweh create a perfect world with perfect human beings KNOWING (omniscience) that it would fall into sin requiring the propitiation by His own being to die a horrible human death as the ultimate sacrifice to redeem this fallen universe? Why? I have a theory but..... MERRY CHRISTMAS!
God is a gardener, not an accountant. Don't try plowing thru 3 chapters a day, instead do some OT, then a little song, a proverb or two, then some NT - every day, a little sowing, a little weeding, a little pruning, a little harvest. My fav is Every Day with Jesus Daily Bible, edited by Selwyn Hughes. The breaks in the text were considered, not just x verses per day.
Revelation 19:1-3 KJV 1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: 2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. Psalms 92:1-5 KJV 1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. 4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. 5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
Keep on celebrating the pagan holiday of saturnalia. This pastor should know what he's doing but is literally leading people astray. Get out of her my people
"He made Him, Who knew no sin, to become sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God through Him"
THE GREAT EXCHANGE
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Thank you pastor. As always God is faithful through you to preach and teach to Sinners Like Me. God bless you.
The manger - the wood of the cross. The whole reason He came. A body to be bruised and broken. A circulatory system so there would be blood to flow for remission of our sins.

Thank you sir. Merry Christmas fellow saints✝️✝️ Christ is King

Thank you Sir. You are an inspiration to me.
May God bless all with a very merry Christmas.
Oh wow! Just mind blowing!
Thank you, Pastor Wolfmueller. I learn so much as a You Tube theologian. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Merry Christmas 😊 God bless you and keep you
really good and i learned a lot

Merry Christmas Pastor and to your family. Your teaching is such a blessing!
And also to you!
Could you say too... That the goats,lambs, turtle doves...did not take on God's wrath ? Where as Jesus took upon himself the wrath of God for me ? Merry Christmas
The Latin Vulgate of Psalm 40:7 is "My ear you have made a burnt offering."
Great Drive Home but I still, STILL miss Luther hanging in the back seat…or again, has he moved off camera and now sits up front? Say it ain’t so, Joe!
Merry Christmas ya’ll!!! God’s Peace to all you UA-cam theologians and a SAFE New Year!!!
To find Luther's quote, search "the feast of creation and the mystery of creation Martin Luther"
It’s kind of disappointing that Jews altered the masoretic text so much to try and point away from Jesus.
The Septuagint is so much more faithful and pure.
Carving out an ear is better than making a body though.

10:14 hmmmm…all the other animals in that stable that day were probably headed for sacrifice just as Jesus was…wow! That was off the charts!
Have you ever thought that driving and recording is unsafe? Just wondering.
Revelation 19:1-3 KJV
1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
Psalms 92:1-5 KJV
1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
You don't mean to say that the whole of the old covenant poins to the new? You're kidding. Right?
Just wait until you get to 2 Chronicles, that’s a real slog.
Keep on celebrating the pagan holiday of saturnalia. This pastor should know what he's doing but is literally leading people astray. Get out of her my people
How did you come to this conclusion?
Merry Christmas!
