Christmas Plan

This 25 day reading plan will highlight the birth of Jesus and the purpose of HIS coming. We will be mixing some New Testament and Old Testament passages to help tell the story.

Today, we are reading Luke 18:31-34; John 12:20-33; Isaiah 53:8-12.

Luke 18

31	Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32	For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33	And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34	And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

John 12

20	And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
21	The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22	Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23	And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24	Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25	He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
26	If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honor.
27	Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28	Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29	The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30	Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31	Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32	And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33	This he said, signifying what death he should die.

Isaiah 53

8	He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9	And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10	Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11	He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12	Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
