Raise J - Jesus Christ

This is the study about the One Who is the sum and substance, the center and essence of Bible Christianity. If we take Buddha from Buddhism, if we take Mohammed from Islam, if we take Smith from Mormonism—we still are left with systems of belief. But, if we take Jesus Christ from Christianity — we have NOTHING!! Christianity is not a system of beliefs, but a PERSON. We are not saved through rules and rites, but through a PERSON.

In this study lesson we want to look at two things concerning Jesus:
1. WHO HE IS.
2. WHAT HE HAS DONE.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE PERFECT MAN

Galatians 4:4

Luke 2:5

Luke 2:40-52

John 4:7-9

Isaiah 53:2
According to Matthew 26:48,49, the Lord Jesus was so plain that Judas needed to kiss His cheek to identify Him to the soldiers.
Incidentally: The “religious art” portraits of Christ depicting Him with blue eyes, long straight golden hair, and fair complexion are far from reality. Our Lord no doubt looked like a very average Jew—olive skin, brown eyes, and short black hair. He did have a beard.

John 4:6

Matthew 8:24

Matthew 21:18

Luke 22:44

Hebrews 4:15

II Corinthians 5:21

JESUS CHRIST IS GOD

Hebrews 1:8

I John 5:20

JESUS CHRIST WAS BORN OF A VIRGIN

From what you have learned above, the Lord Jesus Christ is a man and He is God. He is not 50% human and 50% divine, but 100% perfect in His humanity and 100% perfect in His deity.
How can this be?? The God-Man!
Although we cannot fully comprehend this truth, it is a fact clearly taught in the Bible.

Remember back to Study #7 and the Bible teaching of ONE God manifested in THREE Persons. In studying about the Lord Jesus Christ, we must appreciate the fact of ONE Person with TWO natures — a divine nature and a human nature. While we will never understand this truth, we can see how it was accomplished in the miracle of the Virgin Birth of Christ.
1. If Jesus had a human mother and a human father, He would be just another man — sinful, needing to be saved, and totally incapable of saving Himself, let alone others.
2. If Jesus had no human mother and no human father, He would be unapproachable as God — holy, and dwelling in light inaccessible.
3. The Bible teaches Jesus to be the SON OF MAN (because Mary was His mother) and the SON OF GOD.

Matthew 1:18

Luke 1:35
The birth of Jesus Christ was indeed supernatural!

THE DEATH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

Isaiah 53:6

Romans 5:10

THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

The F__ __ __ __ day, or our __ __ __ __ __ __ .

Matthew 12:40
NOTE: Simple arithmetic (and the Bible evidence) demonstrates the impossibility of a “Good FRIDAY” crucifixion. Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday and spent 72 hours in the tomb.
