Category: LORD JESUS

In the book of HEBREWS 14 times Paul refers to the Lord Jesus.
Christ Jesus, Jesus the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Lord Jesus,
8 times Paul calls him Jesus. Paul is writing to Jews who had believed that Jesus was the Messiah. Remember they had seen the man, Jesus. Paul was showing them this same Jesus was in fact God in Flesh.
Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Hebrews 4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
Hebrews 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hebrews 7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
Hebrews 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Hebrews 13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

In conclusion… How should we, today, refer to his name? Look what the Apostle writes:
2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
And as we have seen in Paul’s writings, he only refers to Jesus the man in Hebrews.

We don’t know the man, Jesus, we only know the God Jesus.
We should address him as:
Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus Christ, Christ Jesus

220 times as Deity, 20 as just Jesus, 1 as another

Why is this man different than all the millions of men who have ever lived?
Why is His name used in the praise or cursing that fall from the lips of men?
It is written that He was born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life. He died a martyrs death.
Why? Because of His ideals? Because He wanted to change the establishment? Because He wanted to establish a new religion?
NO, these are not the reasons. They don’t satisfy answers to the further probing questions they stir up.
His life and death were not accidents, not mere chances of fate.
THE SCRIPTURE DECLARES:
Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
God sent forth His Son for a reason. The reason: to die for your sin and mine. Listen to the words of Christ concerning His Death:
John 10:17-18 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
The Scripture further states:
Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
YES, Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture:
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 …how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
WHY? The answer lies in the Scripture:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Galatians 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin…
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

THOUGHT: God is satisfied with the Cross as settling the sin problem … We should be satisfied with what satisfies God…

Over 2000 years ago a man appeared and made many claims about Himself, such as He was the Son of God. Here are some of the other claims He made:
John 6:35 … I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John 8:12 … I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
John 8:23 … Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
John 8:58 … Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
John 10:9 … I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
John 10:14 … I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
John 11:25 … I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
John 14:6 … I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 15:1 … I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

For a man to claim all these (and many more) about Himself, must fall into one of three categories: First – He’s a liar, Second – He’s a lunatic OR Third – He’s what he claims to be, THE SON OF GOD. If the First or Second be true, then we can ignore Him! BUT, if the third is true, then we owe Him our worship and love.

THOUGHT: If Christ is the WAY, why waste time traveling some other way!

Just who was this man who walked about doing Miracles, healing the ill, making bold statements about God and Himself?
What place, if any, does He have in your life?
What place should He have in your life?
To evaluate this, Let’s read the testimony of a few that came into contact with Him:
John the Baptist … John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Nathaniel … John 1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
The Samaritans … John 4:42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
The Demons … Mark 5:7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
Simon Peter … Matthew 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Martha (sister to Lazarus) … John 11:27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
A Centurion (Roman) … Mark 15:39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
Thomas … John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.

What think ye of Christ? Have you acknowledged Him as your Lord and Saviour?

THOUGHT: Christ isn’t valued at all, unless He is valued above all.

Have you looked into the Scripture to learn about HIM? As we look, pay particular attention to what He did. We saw what he said, what others thought.
John 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
John 2 At the wedding of Cana He turned water into wine.
Matthew 8:23-27 He calmed the storm.
Mark 11:14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
Mark 8:8 So they did eat (the 5,000), and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
Mark 2:12 (Healed the lame) And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
Mark 2:5 (forgave sin) When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
Mark 9:25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
John 11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
1 Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
He has all authority (Power) in Heaven and Earth. He has the power to save:
Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

THOUGHT: Christ paid the price for the gift of salvation – But it’s not yours unless you believe.

As Jesus walked the face of this world, he went about healing the sick, setting the captive free, and teaching with authority. At a young age he suffered and dies a martyrs death, he was buried and three days later he arose from the dead.
Did this mean anything then?
Does it mean anything now?
Does it mean anything to you?
Look at the words of Christ concerning these things concerning end times:
Luke 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
And to the High Priest Matthew 26:64 … Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
The angels said: Acts 1:11 … Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Yes, Jesus will return to this earth, the scripture makes this very clear.
But when? Jesus warned us to be ready.
Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
And added Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Jesus states the reason for His return in Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
And again Matthew 25:31-34 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
The Scriptures speak much of the second coming of Christ, of course, there are scoffers. Peter wrote of them 2 Peter 3:3-4 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
Yes, there is much confusion about the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Because people refuse to look into the Scripture and to rightly divide the Word, or study it.

THOUGHT: The world says SHOW ME and I’ll believe: God says BELIEVE and I’ll SHOW YOU!

Do you remember …. WAIT A MINUTE …… You weren’t there!
All this happened over 1900 years ago.
How could you remember? You hadn’t even been born.

Yes, you remember hearing stories about these things.
You remember a Preacher, Priest or someone preaching about these things.
You remember reading about these things. BUT you weren’t there.

Well, what meanest the Scripture “IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME”?
You truly are not eye witness’s of these events, you would be a fool to proclaim that you were.
So, what meanest the Scripture “IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME”?

Do you have a remembrance of the Lord Jesus?
Have you ever had contact with the Living Son of God?
If you are saved (believed 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, acted upon Romans 10:9) then you have a remembrance of the Lord Jesus.

You are a witness, not in his life and death, BUT in the NEW LIFE He is giving to YOU!

What is there to remember?
You were a sinner! Lost in a world of self-righteousness! Lost, separated from God!

It’s to remember that only by God’s grace, the love of Christ, that you’ve been made acceptable to God.

This is a remembrance you have of Christ, the remembrance you have of the time you believed, were saved, lifted out of the mire of sin, the sea of self-righteousness and placed in the heavenlies, the time when you passed from spiritual death and placed into spiritual life, life eternal, all because of the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
