What is the importance of the Son of God, Jesus Christ? In this episode, we see why Jesus is central to the Christian faith and practice.Resources From ProvidenceTrinity Episodes132 - God the Father: Trinity Series133 - God the Son: Trinity Series134 - The Holy Spirit: Trinity Series135 - Questions Over the TrinityProvidence's Statement of Faith

At Christmas we celebrate the incarnation, or becoming human, of the Son of God. In order for salvation to take place, the eternal Son of God put on flesh and became a man. But why is the incarnation such a pivotal and beautiful part of the Christian faith? Why did it have to take place like this? Was there another way God could save humanity without becoming humanity? We discuss these questions and more on this episode.If you have any questions or need prayer, please email us at formation@providenceomaha.org.

“Jesus Christ” is the english translation that we use, but where did that name come from and is it accurate? ABOUT THE MESSAGEThere is so much power in the name of Jesus. It is the name by which we are saved and the name that demons must flee before. However, few of us really know how we arrived at calling Jesus by this name. It is a very fascinating history and within it lies some truths about the power of His name for our lives and the truth of who He is. In this message, Pastor Mark Stermer takes us on an enlightening journey through this compelling history so that we can have a deeper understanding of the name of Jesus Christ, and a deeper relationship with Him! ABOUT JESUSIf you want to learn more about who Jesus is and what it means to have a relationship with Him, we would love to help you on that journey:https://www.thechurch.fm/jesusFor a deeper dive into The Word of God on a daily basis check out our Free Ancient Paths Daily Devotional: https://www.thechurch.fm/ancient-paths WHO WE AREWe believe that the goal of every Christian is To Be Conformed Into the Image of Jesus Christ, and a relationship with Jesus as well as being involved in a healthy church community are both important to achieving that goal.

Do you feel restless, anxious, overwhelmed, stressed, fearful, ashamed? Are you currently traversing a desert of despair? Or, are you in a season of plenty, joy, fullness and harvest? Whenever we experience life crises and difficulties, we can choose to pursue God deeper, or the relentless drift of events will cause us to move away from Him. It's a matter of perspective. Knowing Jesus is the only way to survive life. He invites us to experience Him in seasons of rest, summer, and plenty - where we hope you find yourself today - as well as in seasons of loneliness, desert, hardship and failure - where we have all been, and where we will probably find ourselves again at some point. Stephanie invites you to consider another angle to your pain and suffering during your pilgrimage on earth: what if seeking deeper intimacy with God was the secret to living life to the fullest? And, if you have heard this a million times and it sounds stale to you, what if this episode rekindled your perspective on your current life today? We need to learn how to cling to Jesus, because He alone can carry us through the inevitable hardships of life. The presence of God is the reason why we seek to know Jesus, and the way we experience Him in our lives. God created us to experience intimacy with Him, and to enjoy Him. So, today, Stephanie invites us to ponder Moses' statement, "Show me Your glory" as an unexpected answer to Jesus' question, "Who touched Me?" which we experienced in our previous episode (see episode 224). Stephanie uses several insights from C.S. Lewis to draw us into deeper understanding of ourselves, our world, and ultimately, God Himself. We are living in the "shadowlands" and Jesus invites us, through Him, to get a glimpse of "real life" as defined by Heaven.  GOD'S GLORY, OUR DELIGHT | THE GOSPEL SPICE SERIES Delighting in the glory of God. Does this concept strike you as reserved for spiritual contemplatives? What if, instead, it proved the highly practical, deeply foundational perspective you need right now? Why does God's glory even matter in our day and age? How can we learn from Jesus to make His glory our true North and lifelong quest? What keeps us from fully stepping into this God-ordained purpose for our life? How do we kindle delight for God on a daily basis? And, once we have embraced God's glory as our heart's true delight, how can we then come alongside others? Join us to cultivate a sincere delight for God's glory, rooted in an honest, hard look at the depth of our need, and in the much deeper Reality of His grace. Trace the glory of God through Scripture and in your own life. Behold the exact radiance of God's glory, revealed in Jesus. Learn to see yourself as Christ does—through the lens of the Father's love at the cross. Jesus offers to overwhelm our deadly self-centeredness with His resurrection power. He carries us every step of the way, even as He calls us to true humility on the path to glory. Who has time to cultivate the delight that comes from pondering the glory of God? And yet, nothing could be more urgent today. Marthas and Marys, Peters and Johns—we are all invited to dare to dream of a lifestyle of God-centered delight. Nothing could be more practical. We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.

This sermon is part 2 of a study of Mark 8: 22-38. In this sermon, Pastor Andrew Coleman draws attention to Jesus' question--"Who do you say that I am?" to his disciples, as well as to Peter's response--"You are the Christ." Jesus' question is the most important question we can ask ourselves, and the answer we give is equally important. The Bible teaches us that "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him" (John 3:36). ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_1c2a6642efb04a3fa2db0db17204bf2f.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_286ecab65b5a447eb3657327d7987c52.pdf ________________________________________ In this video: 0:00 Radical Reality and Expectation, Part 2 | Mark 8: 22-38 1:36 Background/Review 13:32 Reading of Mark 8: 27-38 19:21 1) This passage contains the most important question in the world: ‘WHO IS JESUS CHRIST?' 34:40 2) When Peter Gets it Right vs 27-30 49:20 How about you?

Who Is Jesus Christ? This is the beginning of a series teaching about the Person of Jesus Christ. His pre-incarnate existence involves many aspects of His being. Pre-incarnate means before He took on human form.He is Creator and all things have been made through Him and for Him.This is a message every person should hear.

What makes someone worthy of worship? In ancient days, kings were often heralded as divine incarnations of the gods, so they demanded and expected worship. Nowadays, most people wouldn't call themselves devout worshipers, but they still find something that appeals to their lives.  

Thank you so much for joining us for the first of two parts on the Eternity Future of Jesus Christ. In today's podcast, we will look at Jesus as the Lord of all who will return to earth to deliver the kingdom to His Father for all eternity. We will take a look at the new heaven and earth, referred to as the New Jerusalem, and Dr. Irv will address the following questions: 1. Who populates the New Jerusalem? 2. How is the New Jerusalem described in the Bible and is it a cube or a pyramid? 3. What will life be like in the New Jerusalem? Next week, we will close out our series "Who Is Jesus Christ?" with the second half on the Eternity Future of Jesus Christ. Please join us! If you have any questions, comments or suggestions for future episodes, please email Dr. Irv at hopewellcounsel@gmail.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hopeforthehurting/message

Welcome to our winter 2023 series, "Pathways to God's presence." How do we keep our relationship with God fresh and not stale? How do we avoid being disappointed or dissatisfied with our relationship with God? How do we explore fresh avenues to meet with Him especially when it's dry or painful? How do we keep vibrant faith in the valley, in the pit, in the darkness, and also in the high places – how do we make God the center of our lives? Jesus walked with God perfectly at all times – in perfect harmony and communion. He tells us to imitate Him. How can we do that? how do we grow spiritually so that we experience the freshness and vibrancy that Jesus had with His Father? His connection to His Father was so obvious, especially when He prayed, that the disciples begged Him to show them how to pray. His connection to His Father was so deep, there was no disconnect ever. He always knew the Father's will for all situations at all times. He could orchestrate healings and miracles at will, because He was so finely tuned in to His Father. We will never experience this measure of connection to the Father this side of heaven – because of sin – but Jesus still promised much intimacy with the Father through Him was possible, and even the normal life for the believer. In my experience and in talking with hundreds of people, I don't think most of us live in the fullness of this promise of unbroken connection to our heavenly Father through Jesus Christ our Lord. Many times we live the low Christian life. Nothing wrong with that – but there is so much more that is possible, attainable for us. We are called to a high Christian life, one that is characterized by love, humility, victory, and much fruit. Our series is called, “Pathways to God's presence.” Let me be clear: Jesus is the way to the Father. The only way to the Father. Apart from Him we have no access. He is also our Advocate, interceding for us even now, and we know that His prayers are always welcomed and answered from the fullness of the Father's abundance. So, when we are going to be pondering pathways to God's presence, we must always remember – Jesus is the One who makes these pathways possible. That is why he is our role model, our guide. He is the way. He is also the destination. We are doing all that we do to cultivate intimacy with God, ONLY From Christ and in Christ and for Christ and through Christ. I think we underestimate this dimension of our spiritual life when we don't place front and center the model that Jesus has given us. Jesus, before time began and before the incarnation, was perfectly intimate and one and united with the Father. That is the Trinity. We cant understand it, but we can apprehend just enough of it to see its matchless harmony and radiance. Then at the incarnation, and for the thirty-some years that followed, Jesus who was God and had been with God since before time was (see John 1:1), this Jesus took on fullness of humanity. And he walked among us, not lessening in any way the depth of intimacy He had always enjoyed with His Father. Only at the cross, and momentarily though thoroughly, was it severed—for our sake. So, yes, Jesus is indeed the only Pathway to God's presence. But He also gave us means to grow in intimacy with God, just like He did as a human – He prayed and fasted and studied Scripture and had fellowship with others and served and loved and discipled and evangelized and role-modeled all the things He is inviting us to develop in our own lives as pathways to His presence. He is the way and He is the destination. The secret to the high Christian life, a life of satisfaction in God regardless of circumstances – good or bad, internal or external – the secret to the high Christian life is to practice the presence of God. What does it look like? Why is it even the key to our problem of stale, boring faith? We will explore this together over the course of this series. We will look at the theology and the practice of it. Actually, it will be the bulk of our episode today. What are the spiritual disciplines and what do they have to do with pathways to God's presence? Nowhere does the Bible give us a definitive list of the spiritual disciplines, and depending on how you read some passages, you can discern more or less some aspects of them. In other words, we can all have different lists and all be okay. Some spiritual disciplines have everyone's vote: we all see prayer, or Bible study, or worship as essential components of our faith, major thoroughfares to experience the presence of God. I would suggest they are the main three pathways to the presence of God, and then there are countless ways to define them. Prayer has many elements to it, as does worship and the intake of Scripture. We will ponder one element of each one of these three each week together. There are many more spiritual disciplines, and I can guarantee you that we will not cover them extensively throughout this series! We will mention them, practice them, and hopefully they will come together like so many ingredients of a recipe, so that you will indeed taste and see that the Lord is good. Through the prism of worship, Bible intake and prayer we will look at sabbath, service, stewardship of talent, resources and time, as well as fasting, evangelism and discipleship, fellowship and community, even silence and solitude as essential pathways to God's presence. If you practice particular disciplines for your benefit, I would love to hear from you. We need to learn from one another! Please comment on social media or send us an email. I mean that. we want to hear how you walk the pathways to God's presence! Some spiritual disciplines are personal, others are corporate, or communal. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that each discipline has a personal component and a public component – there are different ways to practice them. For example there is private and public prayer; there is personal worship, and then there is worship on Sundays at church. There is private Bible study, reading and memorizing, and there is the public teaching of the Word at church or in small groups or through one-on-one discipleship, and then there is the public sharing of the Word through evangelism.

Thank you for joining us for Hope for the Hurting. We kicked off the New Year with a 10-part series entitled, “Who Is Jesus Christ?” Today's podcast is the second episode in that series. Our prayer is that this series will strengthen your faith, cause you to fall deeply in love with Jesus and fuel a fire within you to share your love and faith with others. Today's focus is on all the many prophecies about Jesus that were predicted in the Old Testamanet and fulfilled in the New Testament. Dr. Irv will share how many prophecies were fulfilled about Jesus and what the statistical odds are to have that many prophecies fulfilled about the same person. This is a fascinating and heavily researched podcast. The proof of Jesus' existence and that He is the Son of the Most High God is undeniable. Please listen and share it with your friends and family. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions for future episodes, please email Dr. Irv at hopewellcounsel@gmail.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hopeforthehurting/message

Did A Man Called Jesus Christ Walk The EarthNeville Goddard 2/28/1968 Few are teaching this wonderful principle, many others will join, so I thought tonight a certain point should be clarified, because you're going to get this question over and over again. “Do you not believe that a man called Jesus Christ walked the earth?”   You're going to get it and you'll be up against it if you do not know how to answer such a question; for the whole vast Christian world believes in a man, a man, and they will pin you down and try to get an answer, yes or no. Just like saying, “Have you stopped beating your wife?” if you try to answer yes or no to such a question.   So here, we'll turn to scripture, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). “Thy word is truth, and his name shall be called The Word of God.”   How do I reconcile it? Here, “his name”…that's a person…but I'm speaking of a word that will set a man free. We are told in scripture in the 6th of John, “And this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life” (verse 40). As you read it you think it's a man and you say he sees the Son…instantly you think of a man. Well, why? There is not an error but it has a man for its agent, that is, it is a man. There is not a truth but it has also a man for its agent. It takes man to express either a lie or a truth, because God is man…and there is only God.   So when we come to this story in scripture concerning Jesus Christ that is called the truth, well then, they say, “Don't you believe a man, one man, a unique man, was born say four B.C. or say one B.C.?” And then you're called upon to answer that question. Well, first of all, you cannot answer it yes or no. But you answer it in this way: it is not a man—Jesus Christ is God's plan of salvation. It's a plan. Neville.

How is it that a first-Century cult birthed in the armpit of the Roman Empire, whose leader was rejected by his own people and crucified, was able to survive and thrive in the face of violent, organized state-funded resistance? Let me ask it a little differently… How did it come about that a Nazarene sect would eventually be embraced by the very empire that for 300 years sought to extinguish it? “Against all odds,(all odds in yellow)  by the third century, Christianity had become a force to be reckoned with. We still do not really understand how did this come about.” - Karen Armstrong - Field or Blood How did a religion whose first believers were twenty or so illiterate day laborers in a remote part of the Roman Empire become the dominant religion in the West, converting some 30 million people in just 4 centuries? - Bart D Ehrman No one really denies it happened, because here we are in the 21st Century, but the question is… how did it happen? Was it because of what we call the Bible? Nope, the Bible didn't show up in any form until around the 5th Century. So what was it…

January 23, 2022 Who Is Jesus Christ? - Luke 4:16-30 by Sermons of Pastor Paul Kaldahl

Christmas is such a beautiful time for Christians, because we celebrate the birth of Jesus, Immanuel who is God with Us. As we make our way through the Christmas season, we are going to explore each of the names of Jesus as His birth was foretold in Isaiah. This week, we start with Wonderful Counselor. The root of all our problems is our separation from God. Since Adam and Eve, we have been separated from Him through sin, and the solution comes in knowing God and knowing Him rightly. A wonderful counselor is one who is beyond understanding but advises, too wonderful for words, but makes things known. Begin your faith journey of getting to know Him rightly by being honest with Him, ask for healing, listen to His guidance, and do whatever He says to do. Do you know Jesus as your savior? Have you trusted Him as your wonderful counselor? If not, please reach out, we'd love to pray with you and share the hope of Jesus with you this Christmas season. Burnthickory.com/next

A new MP3 sermon from Calvary Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Who Is Jesus Christ? Speaker: Shawn Davis Broadcaster: Calvary Baptist Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 10/4/2020 Bible: Matthew 16:13-18 Length: 34 min.

036 – People are still speculating who Jesus isEven 2,000 years ago people were trying to figure out who Jesus was. He only told a few people he was the Messiah.One day, a man was talking to Jesus and burst out with the question, "Why do you keep us in such suspense? If you are the Christ, just tell us plainly." Wouldn't that have made things so much easier for everyone? Well, not really.What if Jesus had come right out and told everyone he was the Messiah? Do you think more people would have believed him? Probably not.Today we have the advantage of the New Testament which shows how Jesus fulfilled all the prophecies of the coming Messiah. But people in Jesus's day did not have those resources. Still, some people in Jesus's day did discover he was the Messiah, even though they didn't know how he fulfilled all those prophecies. How did they figure it out?In this episode I talk about the only real way to discover and accept that Jesus is the Christ. Unfortunately, some people believe Jesus is the Messiah for the wrong reasons.The hint is in Matthew 16:16, 17What Peter said to Jesus is so important, but what Jesus said to Peter is just as important.It's not what someone else says you should believe that's important but what God reveals to you.I hope you find this episode helpful. If so, please share it with a friend.If you'd like to read all the Scripture references in this week's show, check out the shownotes: thebiblespeakstoyou.com/036.Thanks so much for listening.

What if we could never take back words, decisions, and mistakes? What if we were in a world where every heartache lasted forever. This is what the world would be without a Savior. Long ago, one night in a tiny town, a child was born. Born to change all hearts and fix all mistakes. He understands all of us. He can heal us. He is there to bring us home if we let Him and follow Him. This is why we celebrate, sing, and give praise this Christmas season. This is why Jesus Christ was born.

Family: it makes a nice picture. But if we look outside the frame, there is a bigger picture. When we are born we are pretty helpless. And as we grow older we continue to take care of each other. The more families take care of each other, the more they can build stronger communities. And the stronger communities become, the better the world becomes. Families are much more than the here and now. We wouldn’t be who we are without our ancestors. This is why we have a responsibility to find them and learn their stories. We can also create family relationships so strong that they last beyond this life. In temples, couples can be married not just till death but for eternity. So families can be together forever. God is our Father and we are His children. That is the big picture. Subscribe to Mormon.org: https://www.youtube.com/user/mormon?s...

Every day we are faced with choices, and to help us make good decisions, God gave us commandments. Instead of looking at them as a list of rules, see them as lights. Together they show us the best path. Sometimes we lose sight of God’s path and we find ourselves in darkness. This is why we have repentance. It is not about feeling guilty; it is about asking God for help. Because His son Jesus Christ died for all our sins, we get to feel the joyful feeling of forgiveness. It is a light so bright it makes the shadows of our mistakes disappear. And as far as God is concerned, it is like it never happened at all.

There is one name that almost everyone has heard but many don't know. Jesus Christ, the King of Kings, Alpha and Omega, Lord of Lords, and the reason we have Christmas. We know His teachings that include love your enemies and love one another. Christ is not just a man or a teacher, He is the Messiah to save all His people (including us) from sin and death. He is also the Son of God. This gave Him the power to come to Earth, share God’s teaching, and perform miracles. His greatest miracle is giving mortals life and happiness after death.

God doesn’t love us for just an hour or two once a week. So if church exists so that we can become closer to God, it needs to be bigger than a Sunday service. A group of members aren’t just a congregation; they are an extended family of faith. No matter where Mormons live, members belong to a local congregation called a ward. In each ward there...

Have you ever wondered “Who Is Jesus?” I mean to YOU, personally? I wrote a blog about it at https://onlinediscipleshipforwomen.com/who-is-jesus I asked myself “Who Is Jesus Christ?” in 2014, and I took my answer seriously. On October 19th, 2014 I was baptized in front of 3,000 people sharing my breakthrough regarding “Who Is Jesus To Me?"

The Bible provides us with all the answers. But! Only your personal walk with Christ can reveal who Jesus is to you personally. I'll elaborate on this topic later.   “Only your personal walk with Christ can reveal who Jesus is to you personally” (tweet this) Anna Szabo     So, who is Jesus in the Bible?     Jesus is Man   Jesus was born, just like you and I were born, meaning delivered out of our mama's uterus. Think about this as you ponder what happened on the cross.   And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in in the inn. Luke 2:7   Jesus grew, just like you and I grew from being little to being big, meaning at first He didn't know how to walk and talk and He needed His mama 24/7. Just try to comprehend this truth as you consider what Jesus endured to gift you and me the freedom from sin.   And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom. And the favor of God was upon him. Luke 2:40   Jesus got tired, just like you and I get weary. Imagine that He felt all the feelings we feel today. Then, think about what happened on the cross…   Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon. John 4:6   Jesus knew temptations, just like you and I feel various temptations from innocent ones, like binge-watching Netflix, over-eating, or getting angry, to severe temptations, like sex additions, drug addictions, gambling, or being violent (I'm not saying His temptations were any of what I just listed or that He handled them the same way we do, I'm only saying He felt tempted).   … and he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. Mark 1:13   Jesus wept. Whenever you cry or feel deep sorrow, whenever you experience grief or go through heartache, remember that Jesus also wept. I got married in 2016, and my husband immediately filed for divorce saying he wanted to be an IronMan and compete in Kona. My girlfriends used to hold me in their arms as I wept from sorrow. Though at first, I thought my weeping was too much because I'm strong, I did allow myself to process all that grief as I was going through it because I knew that Jesus wept, too.   Jesus wept. John 11:35   Jesus was rejected. Whenever you are rejected and your friends turn away from you, betray you, or stonewall you, think about this:   From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. John 6:66   Jesus experienced bullying. It's unthinkable because we tend to believe bullies just popped out of social media in the 21st century, but it's not true. I was bullied in Russia by the members of my very own family. If you ever have to endure bullying or humiliation, think about this experience Jesus endured, just so you know He can relate. He Himself was bullied, mocked, and humiliated.   Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. Mark 15:19   Jesus felt abandonment and loneliness. Whenever you feel lonely, consider the depth of the abandonment Christ experienced after everything He had done for His people. Consider it not to diminish your own feelings of loneliness but to help you understand that Jesus can relate because He felt the same thing.   About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lemasabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”) Matthew 27:46   Jesus died. If you ever had a family member pass away and saw what death looks like, know that Jesus endured not only the same death we face but worse – He suffered before He died. He suffered for you and me.   And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said: “Surely this man was the Son of God!” Mark 15:39       DONATE   Jesus is God   Jesus was fully God. He talked about this truth openly but some people of His generation didn't believe it, though they did see His miracles.   30 I and the Father are one.” 31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him, 32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?” 33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.” John 10:30-33   Jesus declared in His prayer for all believers that He was one with God.   “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. John 17:21   Above all else, here's the clear statement in the Bible, which is God-breathed Word, telling us that Jesus was God.   No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known. John 1:18     Jesus is Lord   Jesus was called “Lord” after He was crucified. The meaning of the word “lord” assigns a certain level of respect and power to whoever is called so.   Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah. Acts 2:36   Jesus was also addressed as “Lord” during His life as a man on earth by those who respected and honored Him and believed in His miracles.   A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” Matthew 8:2   The lordship of Jesus is linked directly to His resurrection and our salvation after His death as a human.   If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9     Jesus is Savior   Jesus came on earth to save you and me from our sins and the burdens of our guilt and shame. Jesus is the reason why we have the gift of God's forgiveness today.   Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. 1 Timothy 1:15   Jesus was promised by God to His people as a savior. The covenant was fulfilled when Jesus died on the cross.   From this man's descendants God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as he promised Acts 13:23   Jesus was announced as a savior to the world before His actual birth.   She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21     Jesus is Redeemer   Jesus redeemed you and me at a high price. When you win an iTunes gift card, you can go to the iTunes store, add a song to your cart, type in the gift card code, and click “redeem” button. What that means is someone placed value onto that gift card, which can be used by you to buy something of value. You are of value. Jesus' life was of value. He surrendered the value of His life to buy you back (redeem you) from sin so you can have your valuable life as a free human being. Redemption means this: when we were slaves to sin, Jesus sacrificed His precious life to buy us back from sin.   In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace. Ephesians 1:7     Jesus is Deliverer   The word “deliverer” in Hebrew means “to cause to escape. Jesus causes us to escape our temptations, sin, and the destiny of facing God's wrath. Jesus delivers us from our captivity and slavery to sin by sacrificing His life to provide us with the way to escape and live free. Paul wrote about it in his letter to Philippians, explaining deliverance through the Spirit of Christ:   18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19 for I know that through your prayers and God's provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.[a] 20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. Philippians 1:18-20     Jesus is Lamb   In the Old Testament, animal sacrifices are found all throughout. These blood offerings acted as a temporary covering for sin. The purpose of animal sacrifice and offerings was sanctification, righteousness (right standing with God), and forgiveness. Jesus became the lamb of God to cover our sins forever and to secure our right standing with God. This truth appears at John 1:29, where John the Baptist sees Jesus and exclaims, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”   The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29   The meaning of Jesus being the lamb of God is also explained in Revelation 17:14 where we get to hear His other names, as well:   They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings — and with him will be his called, chosen, and faithful followers. Revelation 17:14     Jesus is King   “Christ the King” – that's how Jesus is often referred to, implying the concept of the Kingdom of God where Christ is described as seated at the right hand of God, and you are seated there with Him in heavenly places (more on that later when we talk about Spiritual Warfare, or you can find my YouTube videos about it if you're curious, or leave comments below). Jesus called Himself “king” very openly, as we can see from this conversation:   “You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” John 18:37   The final book of the New Testament, aka the final book of the Bible, often called “Revelation to John,” describes Jesus as King and Lord stating that it was written about Him as His very name:   On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: “King of kings and Lord of lords.” Revelation 19:16     Jesus is Teacher   Jesus taught His people how to live, aka the Gospel, the good news.   Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. Matthew 4:23   Jesus taught every time He spoke. He had the heart of a teacher and taught His disciples every time He opened His mouth. We can see how it's described by His followers:   He opened His mouth and began to teach them Matthew 5:2   Jesus taught even when He wanted to rest or eat or be quiet. People longed for His teachings and followed Him everywhere He went.   30 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. 31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” 32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place. 33 But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. 34 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things. Mark 6:34   Jesus also teaches us to follow His teachings today and to avoid being influenced by any other philosophies of living:   9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them. 11 Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work. 2 John 9     Jesus is Light   Jesus called Himself “the light of the world” helping us understand that we must live according to His teachings in order for us to have peace, joy, and salvation.   Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” John 8:12   Jesus shared that He was the light while He was in the world, but it doesn't mean just physically. While we share His teachings, His light shines.   “While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.” John 9:5   Jesus became the light to the world so that we don't have to remain in the darkness not knowing who we are, or how to live, or what to do with ourselves, or how to treat others, or how to deal with pain and suffering.   I have come as Light into the world so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness. John 12:46   Jesus enlightened His followers. If you ever think that enlightened people are metaphysical, know that being enlightened is Biblical and means you experienced the light of Jesus Christ and His teachings. Understanding and experiencing the Gospel of truth is the substance of such enlightenment.   There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. John 1:9     Jesus is Mediator   Jesus is the one and only capable mediator to help us be in the right standing with God. You can't pay God to forgive your sins. You can't hire an attorney to talk God out of being angry with your sin. You can't bribe God. Nothing you can do but give your life to Jesus Christ genuinely and wholeheartedly. Then, God sees you through the blood of Jesus as perfect, righteous, pure, and holy. No other mediator can do that for you.   For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. 1 Timothy 2:5-6   A mediator is also called an advocate. Jesus is our advocate. He advocates for us whenever we seek God's forgiveness.   My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2     Jesus is Authority   Jesus is the only authority, both in Heaven and on earth. Don't take me wrong: you surely must obey your local speed limit law established by the Government, and the reason is that Jesus, the ultimate authority, commands that you submit to the Government authorities.   And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Matthew 28:18     Jesus is Leader   Jesus invited people to follow Him. We aren't talking here about clicking an Instagram “follow” button and moving on with your day. We're talking about His invitation for people to leave everything behind and physically follow Him everywhere He went. Jesus was a bold leader as a man on earth.   But the Lord took me from following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.' Amos 7:15   Jesus encouraged people to go with Him and learn the new way of living, to hear the Gospel, the good news, and to abide in His truth. He invited His followers to learn from Him and share hope with others.   And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Matthew 4:19   Jesus called upon those people whom He chose as His followers, He chose them specifically, regardless of whether or not they were considered “good” by the standards of society.   As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him. Matthew 9:9   Jesus was the kind of leader who demanded devotion to Himself. He called people to deny themselves, abandon their old ways, quit their lifestyle, and commit themselves to abiding in His teachings.   Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Matthew 16:24     Jesus is Prophet   Jesus was a genuine proclaimer of the will of God. That is the very definition of a prophet. People who heard Jesus' teachings recognized and acknowledged that He was a prophet:   And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.” Matthew 21:11     Jesus is Messiah    Jesus was a leader and savior of a particular group and cause. The people were us, and the cause was our eternity in heaven. That's the definition of the Messiah who was expected to tell people all things (and He did). Jesus Himself stated that He was the Messiah people expected:   25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things.” 26 Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.” John 4:25-26   Jesus was recognized and acknowledged as the Messiah by those who believed in Him, His miracles, and His teachings:   “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” John 11:27     Jesus is Friend   Jesus tells us everything. Have you noticed how any answer you ever need is already right there in the Bible? The teachings of Jesus considered all aspects of being and living. What a friend we have in Jesus!   No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. John 15:15     Jesus is Hope   Jesus told us what will be in our future – an eternity in heaven. He gave us the things we can hope for and He asked us to hope.   Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again.[a]The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:13-14   Salvation and an eternity with Jesus are not the only things He promised. We can also hope in His steadfast (unwavering, unconditional) love:   Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love Psalm 33:18   Jesus is our hope for love, an eternity in heaven, and also redemption:   O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption. Psalm 130:7   We hope in Christ because of the promises He gave us. That's the foundation of faith. Believing is key to hope, and hope is key to faith. We wait for this world to get better, for us to get better, we hope for a better future, we hope in Him.   I will wait for the Lord, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him. Isaiah 8:17     Jesus is Peace   Jesus Christ is the one and only source of peace. Let's be honest: sometimes it's hard to even fall asleep at night because our anxieties and fears are lurking around stealing peace. But Christ gives us peace that passes all understanding, as long as we have faith and focus on gratitude.   And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Colossians 3:15   Jesus' peace actually guards our hearts and minds. Without His protection, we would go crazy thinking about what if this and what if that.   And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7     Jesus is Love   Jesus is not only the source of love. He Himself is love for us from God. You shall never wonder: “Does God Love Me?” because the evidence of His love is Jesus, so God's love must always be declared in present tense without a doubt. It's been proven.   “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16   Jesus is proof of God's unconditional love. Growing up in Russia, I remember being told to check 1,000,000 boxes before God would love me. It was taught to me that I was unworthy and bad. It's a false idea. God loves me unconditionally already, and the proof of His love is Jesus. Never can I do anything for God to earn His love. He loves me and is in a relationship with me already. I can't perform anything to earn love from God. It's a gift.   but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8     Jesus is Word   Jesus is referred to as “Logos,” or “Word,” meaning He Himself is wisdom personified, the source of life and truth, and the very communication between God and humanity. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14     Jesus is Truth   Jesus declared that He Himself is the truth, not only the teacher of the truth and not only filled with truth.   Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14-6     Jesus is Wisdom   Jesus Christ is our wisdom and not just the source of wisdom. He teaches us wisdom. He teaches us to be wise and to walk with the wise. But that's not all. If you gave your life to Jesus, you know how, when you pray for wisdom, God's infinite intelligence is poured over you. You just get the wisdom you didn't have before you prayed. With it comes peace, and that's how you discern God's wisdom. It's because Christ is in you and you are in Him and He Himself is wisdom.   And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption 1 Corinthians 1:30     Jesus is Strength    Jesus is our strength. In Him, we are strong. I used to live in my own power and didn't work out. Now I draw my strength from Christ and I love my life.   fear not, for I am with you;     be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you,     I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10   People throughout the Bible recognized and acknowledged that the only sources of lasting strength is Jesus Christ, our lord and savior:   The Lord is my strength and my song,     and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him,     my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2   We are encouraged to be strong in the lord. His might is our strength. He conquered even death itself. He is almighty.   Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Ephesians 6:10   We are commanded to count on Jesus' strength and be courageous:   Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6     Jesus is Life   Jesus is life. He gives us new life when we are born again and practice His way of living. And He gives us eternal life. I want to also mention that though I personally appeared to be alive and have a life before I met Jesus, I was actually dead. I'll share my story with you here later, but just keep this in mind: we are not talking about life as it appears to be in the physical realm. After I prayed to Christ to open up my eyes to the things unseen, I started noticing dead people everywhere, though they are walking and talking and wearing makeup and are dressed up nicely, they laugh and workout but they are completely dead as there's no life in them. Jesus gives life. He is life.   Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die John 11:25     Jesus is Rock   Jesus is our rock, the strong foundation, something solid to hold on to, something that won't let us down and will hold us, and for many, He is the rock found when hitting the rock bottom. That's my story. I'll share it later.   The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;     my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,     my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalm 18:2   Jesus is God and compared to other rocks in the Bible and declared to be the most solid rock:   There is no one holy like the Lord;     there is no one besides you;     there is no Rock like our God. 1 Samuel 2:2     Jesus is Vine    Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. This is the most critical truth to understand if you want to live the life of joy, peace, and productivity. If you value your mental health and sanity, this is the most important thing of all:   15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. 9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit, fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. 17 This is my command: Love each other. John 15     Jesus is Helper   Jesus is our helper. He is on our side, that's why we are never alone.   The Lord is with me; he is my helper.     I look in triumph on my enemies. Psalm 118:7   How exactly does Jesus help us? David described this in detail:   A Psalm of David. 1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2     He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3     he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths     for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk     through the darkest valley,[a] I will fear no evil,     for you are with me; your rod and your staff,     they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me     in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil;     my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me     all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord     forever. Psalm 23     Jesus is Healer   Jesus is our healer. He performed many healing miracles on earth as a human man, and even touching His robe healed The Bleeding Woman:   Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.” 49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don't bother the teacher anymore.” 50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don't be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.” Luke 8:48-50   Jesus heals us physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. Here's another example of physical, visible healing, and I have my own personal examples to share with you here later.   “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. Mark 10:52   Jesus heals us today. The healing power of the resurrected Jesus works in our lives and performs miracles all over the earth right now. He healed me.   But he was pierced for our transgressions,     he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him,     and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5     Jesus is “I Am”   Jesus referred to Himself as “I Am” many times, implying that He was the eternal God incarnate. Jesus was equating Himself with the “I Am” title God gave Himself in Exodus 3:14.   53 Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?” 54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me. 55 Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.” 57 “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!”58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!”  John 8:53-58     Jesus is The Way   Jesus is the way, and He is the only way. There's no other way to heaven.   Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6   And here's what it means that Jesus is the way described in great detail:   For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:3-7     Summary: Who is Jesus In The Bible?   In this first part of our “Who Is Jesus” discussion, we explored what the Bible says about the son of God. These 30 aspects of Jesus' identity will help you understand and process the important answer to the question “Who is Jesus In The Bible?”   “Knowing who Jesus is in the Bible is valuable but pondering the impact of this knowledge on your own life is so much more valuable.” (tweet this) Anna Szabo     Pondering means taking something to heart and thinking genuinely about it, giving it thought, considering it, applying it to yourself practically. By the way, if this content is helpful, you may express your gratitude now: Express Gratitude Now   I encourage you to ponder not only the question “Who is Jesus In The Bible?” but also this question that is of critical importance: “Who is Jesus To Me?” I pondered it, and my breakthroughs are shared with you below.

Who Is Jesus Christ?

It is so important to have right thoughts about Christ. This has a direct bearing not only on our eternal welfare but also on our daily Christian walk. The unsaved certainly do not think rightly about Him. Sadly their thoughts are confused and distorted concerning this lovely Person. Believers can also not fully appreciate His grace and awesomeness. The conclusion to this devotional message should kindle in our hearts more love and commitment to the One who loved us and gave Himself for us!
