Jesus Christ is Lord: More about Jesus!

Chapter 41 – More about Jesus!

In the current category titled Jesus Christ is Lord, I have published 40 posts regarding Jesus. Prior to typing this post, I asked the Holy Spirit in prayer if I should begin a new category. In my prayer I said, “I now have 40 posts about Jesus in this category, and I believe I have covered just about everything I can think of regarding Jesus.” What then popped into my mind then, and I believe it was my answer from the Holy Spirit; It went like this…  “Everything in this life is about Jesus, and you have just scratched the surface of things to say about your Lord and Savior!” So, I guess I will be adding a few more interesting facts about Jesus as the Holy Spirit gives me the words to say.

What I haven’t covered in the previous 40 posts is “Who is this man named Jesus?” Let’s take a look at what Scripture has to say about Him:

John 1:1–18 (ESV)
¹In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ²He was in the beginning with God. ³All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. ⁴In him was life, and the life was the light of men. ⁵The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. ⁶There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. ⁷He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. ⁸He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light. ⁹The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. ¹⁰He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. ¹¹He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. ¹²But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, ¹³who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. ¹⁴And 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. ¹⁵(John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’ ”) ¹⁶For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. ¹⁷For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. ¹⁸No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.

John 1:1-18 is jam-packed full of the exciting reality of who Jesus is! It takes a little time and effort to unpack the fullness and magnificence of this person that is described as fully Man and fully God:

• Jesus, the Word of God, was present with the Father in the beginning!
• The Word became flesh and dwelt among us as Jesus, the Father’s one and only Son!
• Jesus is the Light of Life!
• Jesus came to His own people, and they Didn’t receive Him as God!
• Jesus gave the right to become children of God to All who did receive Him!
• Jesus is the Truth, He is all Truth, the only source of Truth!
• Jesus forgives us of our sins by grace!

John 10:27–30 (ESV)
²⁷My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. ²⁸I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. ²⁹My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. ³⁰I and the Father are one.”

John 10:27-30 tells us more about who Jesus is:

• We can know the voice of Jesus, and follow Him!
• If we belong to Jesus, we have eternal life!
• No one can snatch us out of the hand of Jesus or the hand of the Father!
• Jesus and the Father are one!

I believe the following passages about Jesus are self-explanatory:

Galatians 3:28–29 (ESV)
²⁸There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. ²⁹And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.

Colossians 1:15–17 (ESV)
¹⁵He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. ¹⁶For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. ¹⁷And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Revelation 19:11–13 (ESV)
¹¹Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. ¹²His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. ¹³He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. Glory to God in the Highest! Jesus is Lord and King of all Kings!!!!!!!!
