The Authority of Jesus Christ of Nazareth How best to reveal and apply authority? Authority + Revelation = Confrontation Intimations/harbingers of what is to come: Luke 2 40And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. Luke 2 46And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. Luke 2 52And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. More than an office: Luke 4 20And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 22And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son? …. 24And he

Ministry and Ministering Thoughts for the New Year i) What such words mean. (Parenthesis: Life of Moses) ii) What we have. iii) What we can bring. Mark 10 42But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. 43But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister 44and whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. 45For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. A Lesson from Moses’ Life: II Corinthians 10 4For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds, 5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; ii) What we have. Hebrews 2:18 For in that He himself hath su

What is the meaning of Christmas ? “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” I Timothy 1:15 “God sent His Son to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the Law, so that He could adopt us as His very own children.” Galatians 4:4 “ Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour who is Christ the Lord” Luke 2:11 “ For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:17 Two men, Two Acts and Two Conditions that affect all human beings Romans 5: 18 & 19 “Therefore by the offense of one man (Adam) judgment came upon all to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one man (Jesus) the free gift came upon all men to justification of life…. by one man’s disobedience (Adam) many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one man (Jesus) shall many be made righteous. “ Two Men Adam – the first man, affects all human beings by passing on a sinful nature and it’s devastating corr

The Right Person at the Right Time(Galatians 4:4-5) Greatest Event in History Galatians 4:4-5 NASB (4) But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, (5) so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons The Perfect Time Perfect time spiritually – spiritual hunger, Romans Perfect time culturally – universal language Perfect time politically – Pax Romana – Roman Roads The Perfect Person – Sent by God Galatians 4:4 NASB But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son… ἐξαποστέλλω; Exapostelló - to send out, or commission Pre-existed with the Father – John 17:24; Isaiah 9:6 "I proceeded forth and came from God…He sent me" John 8:42 "I have come down from Heaven" John 6:38 The Perfect Person – The Son of God Galatians 4:4 NASB But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son… Mystery of incarnation "Great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh" 1 Timothy 3

The Believer’s Freedom in Christ The Means and Method of Freedom Christ’s Death & Resurrection Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ Proclamation of Freedom John 8:36 Jesus answered them, ...if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death. Statement made before Christ was arrested, crucified and killed (It seems ironic) John 19:28-30, 34-35 28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, to fulfill the Scripture, said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth. 30 Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. 35 And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the

What is Freedom? Absence of restraint? No laws or regulations? Doing whatever you want without restraint? God’s Purpose for man (woman, children) is Freedom God’s Method of Freedom is Truth God’s Revelation of Truth is Jesus Christ Gods purpose for man is freedom Bible is a book of freedom (from Genesis to Revelation) Israel’s sin led to bondage (at least 6 different nations) The teachers of the law said they were free The cross speaks of freedom From the bondage, guilt, the punishment, and the judgement of sin Freedom begins with salvation, trusting Jesus as your saviour There can be no freedom without salvation Jesus said whoever commits sin (is in the habit of practicing sin) is a slave (servant, bondage) of sin When someone is in the habit of disobeying God (that is not freedom) that is the worst kind of bondage When someone trusts Christ as his saviour he has freedom From the guilt, the punishment, and the judgement of sin To walk with the Lord, in the spirit, overcoming the power of sin To beco

Are you saved? John 3:16 1 John 3:1-10 For God so loved the world: Yet so many people are angry. That he gave His only begotten Son: Virgin Birth (vital, the two natures) Lived a perfect life Took our place on the cross (Saves us from Gods wrath, & Hell) that whosoever believeth in him: Trust the truth… also repent from sins should not perish, but have everlasting life. He is alive today, waiting for His return Intro to key verse 1 John 3:9 Two Natures Gal 5:16-17 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. Rom 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Why is this? The Fall like modes on a watch 1 John 3:9 KJV Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. NASB No one who is born of God

Prophecy makes up ¼ of Bible Prophecy gives validity to the Bible – has been or will be fulfilled with 100% accuracy.

Jesus Christ – Who is He ? …as he is presented in public ministry We have already learned … He is God (John 1:1 “He was with God and He was God”/ Matt 1:23 “Immanuel”) He is Eternal (Luke 1:33 “ His kingdom is forever”) He is the Creator (John 1:3 “ All things were made by Him”) At His Baptism He is announced from heaven as “the well beloved Son of God” He is the Perfect Man …. “the one who is well pleasing to God” He is the the Messiah … John 4:26 “ when Messiah is come …” …“I am He” Pre-eminent Provision for the sin of the world Presented to every person “The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” John 1:29 ---------------------- Scripture Reading Matthew 3: V13-17 John 1:26-34 ------------------------------------- Why was Jesus baptized ? He certainly never had to repent, for he had no sin in Him.   To endorse John’s ministry …. It was from God To identify with those He came to save To “FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS”, ….” Let it be so to fulfill all righteousness “ it was a pict

"Your Name" Mike Grant is a teacher at New Brunswick Bible institute Philippians Chp. 2:5 What change would we see if we truly implemented this verse. Name above all names, what does that name mean to you? Acts Chp. 9:3 Have you had an encounter with The Lord Jesus Christ? Are you saved? To the degree you know him is to the degree you will serve Him. His grace is not a limited basket, but a sufficient, unlimited well. If it were a limited basket we’d focus on all the wrong things. Hebrews 1:4 What are we willing to do for he matchless name of Christ?

You are a product of the people you meet, the books you read, the circumstances your in.
