18. What did Jesus do?

admin — Mon, 07 May 2012 13:59:26 +0000

Jesus proclaimed the Kingdom of God in the power of the Holy Spirit. He healed the sick, preached good news to the poor and freedom for those in captivity. He ate with sinners and outcasts. The religious authorities of his day called him a blasphemer and the political authorities saw him as seditious, and he was unjustly condemned to death. As the true keeper of the covenant, His obedience unto a sacrificial death on a cross atoned for sin, allowing for all the children of the covenant, past, present and future, to be reconciled to a just and holy God. The Father raised him up, and through his resurrection and defeat of death, Jesus won victory over the evil that held creation in bondage. Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, where He still lives and rules as Lord of all, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.

17. Is Jesus a human being just like us?

admin — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 03:39:38 +0000

Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary. He had a human mother just like all of us. He grew up in a human family, in a human culture. “Though he was God’s Son, he learned trusting-obedience,” in the midst of struggle, trial and hardship, just like we do.” (Heb 5:8) But unlike any of us, who are conceived human father and mother, Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit. His origin is unique. The Holy Spirit not only conceived him, but empowered him for his unique mission. When Jesus, in and through the Holy Spirit, “arrived at the full stature of his maturity”, he was, “announced by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek,” and “became the source of eternal salvation to all who believingly obey him.” (Heb 5:9) Jesus Christ gave sinful humanity a glimpse of what unrebellious life looks like.

Luke 1:27,31, 35, Galatians 4:4, Hebrews 2:14, Hebrews 4:15, Hebrews 5

16. What makes Jesus the Lord?

admin — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 03:35:57 +0000

For the sake of the world He loves, the Son set aside the privileges that come with being the Creator and became like a servant. He became human, and he stayed human, forever identifying with us for our redemption. Because of his obedience, God lifted Jesus high and honored him far beyond anyone or anything, so that all created beings in heaven and on earth will bow in worship before Jesus Christ, praising him as Master of all.

15. What does it mean to say that Jesus Christ is God’s only Son? Aren’t we all God’s children?

admin — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 15:48:48 +0000

Jesus Christ is the Eternal Son of God the Father. He has always been, and there was never a time that he didn’t exist in communion with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Because Jesus Christ is divine He is not a creature, but Creator along with the Father and the Spirit. Through Jesus Christ sinful people can be reconciled to God, becoming by grace what he is by nature: children of the Living God.

14. How do we know the Bible is trustworthy and true?

admin — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 03:38:04 +0000

Because God gave it to us and we trust God and know that He wants nothing but the best for us. Holy Scripture is God-breathed, and nothing that comes from God can be false or mistaken. Through the Bible God shows us truth, exposes our rebellion, corrects our mistakes, and forms us to live in God’s way. Through the Word and the Holy Spirit God builds us up and shapes us to share in His mission in the world.

Isaiah 59:21, 1 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Timothy 3:15-16, 1 John 2:20, 1 John 5:9
