Behold
“Help in Our Unbelief”
John 20, Luke 1

“…the Lord himself will give you a sign: Behold a virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” - Isaiah 7:14

Sign = Proof

The Christmas “sign” will be missed if our celebration ends at the manger.

Don’t miss that Jesus…
	Is worth relying on
	Meets us in our suffering
	Brings comfort in chaos
	Helps in our unbelief

John 20-24-29

Believing what we can’t see is hard.
	“Seeing is believing”

We are all skeptics to some degree.

Unbelief
	“This can’t be happening”
	Causes us to feel isolated
	“I have to see it”
	Maybe Jesus will reject me

With Jesus
	Things don’t have to make sense
	He always shows up
	Believing is seeing
	He never rejects us

Luke 1:26-32a

Christmas is about believing in Jesus who is worth relying on, meets us in our suffering, brings comfort in chaos, and helps us in our unbelief.

Do you see it?

Believing is seeing.

“Behold a virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” - Isaiah 7:14
