“The Person of Jesus Christ”
Jesus is the Greek rendering of the Hebrew name Yeshua [Joshua]. This is the name that the angel Gabriel commanded (Matthew 1:21), “You are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
The name Jesus means “The Lord Saves,” “God’s Salvation,” “Savior.”
“Christ” (Greek) is the equivalent of (Hebrew) “Messiah.”
Jesus came in the flesh of a baby (cf. Luke 1:34-35), by the power of the Holy Spirit, to be born the Son of God.” Jesus was fully man, while also fully God.
Jesus is the Word of God, the Creator (cf John 1:1-4), “in Him was life, and that life was the light of men.” He put on flesh (v. 14) and lived among us, (v. 18) to make known the Father, who no one has seen, except God the Son.
Philippians 2:5-11, “Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
As a child (Luke 2:40), “He was filled with wisdom, the grace of God was upon Him,” (Luke 2:52), “He grew in wisdom and stature, in favor with God and man.”
Scripture tells us some marvelous things about the person of Jesus Christ:
Mark 4:38… He needed to eat.
Luke 4:2… He needed to sleep.
Hebrews 13:8… He is Immutable [unchanging].
Colossians 2:3… He is Omniscient [all-knowing].
John 6:69… He is the Holy One of God.
Revelation 1:18… He is Eternal.
John 11:25-26… He grants eternal life to all who believe in Him.
Matthew 28:18… He is sovereign…
Mark 4:39… He had power over creation (42), “the wind and the sea obey Him!”
John 5:8-9 says He had power over disease and sickness.
Luke 4:33-36 tells us He had power of demons, casting them out of a man.
John 11:43-44 says He has power over death.
Mark 2:1-12 says He has authority to forgive sins!
Matthew 1:23 says He is Immanuel (cf Isaiah 7:14).
Acts 2:36 Jesus is declared to be both Sovereign Ruler and Savior.
John 8:58 says He is the great “I Am” (Exodus 3:14), “I AM WHO I AM.”
See Colossians 1:15-20; Colossians 2:8-10; Hebrews 1:1-3…
See John 11:20-27, 32, 38-42…
Titus 2:11 says, “the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,” 13, “the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
Jesus Christ is God in human flesh; He is Sovereign Lord and Sacrificial Christ; He is (John 1:29) “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”
Jude 24-25, “To Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy—to the only God our Savior be glory , majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!”
Revelation 1:8, “‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.’” 17-18, “When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, ‘Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.’”
John 14:1-3, “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also,”
6, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”
2Corinthians 5:21, “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
1John 5:11-13, “And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. How you respond to Who Jesus is now, while you have life, will determine where you spend eternity after you die: in heaven with God, or in hell apart from God.
