who is Jesus Christ who is he who is this Jesus why is he in our conscience in in our mind so that our plays in our poems and our operas are about him we know that he had all the characteristics of a man and yet very interestingly the Bible says that he never committed a sin all of us are sinners but Jesus was tempted in every point like as we are he went through every temptation you've ever been through there isn't a trial or our testing or a temptation that Jesus has not been through before
you and he resisted them and overcame them all everyone he was a man just like you but he was more than that he claimed to be the unique only begotten incarnate son of God in fact he claimed pre-existence the scripture says in the beginning was the word and the Word was with God before time began he existed from everlasting to everlasting he is God the Bible says and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us that's what the Bible teaches and when you come to Jesus Christ you have to accept that he wasn't just
another revolutionary he wasn't just another hippy he was not just another great man he was God in the flesh Jesus taught that we're to forgive he taught a revolution in the way we're to live he taught us that it wasn't just our outward actions that God judges but it's the inward thoughts and intents he said Moses said that in the Ten Commandments thou shalt not commit adultery but I tell you that if you even look on a woman to lust after you've already committed it he said Moses said thou shalt not murder but I tell
you if you have hate in your heart against your brother without cause you're already guilty Jesus said out of a heart proceed evil thoughts and murders and adulterers and thefts and blasphemies all the evil in the world comes from the human heart that's got to be changed and that's why Jesus said you must be born again you must be converted you must have a new beginning and he can do it and then on the cross he said my god wise now forsaken me and then he dropped his head and said it's finished what did he
mean he meant your plan of salvation is finished God can now forgive you of all your sins because Jesus had finished God's plan for your salvation because you see God knows every one of you by name he has the hands of your head numbered God looks upon you as though you were the only person in the whole universe he sees you and you alone and on that cross Jesus had the capacity to think of you and he loved you enough to stay on the cross was there ever such a love is that when he could
have been rescued and taken back to heaven and to sit on his throne but he didn't he said no I'm doing it for the joy that is set before me because he saw that he would be raised from the dead that would make up his body he saw the day when we will reign with him in his kingdom and if you don't have the resurrection you don't have any gospel Jesus Christ is alive and when they went out to the tomb that morning they heard the greatest news the world is ever known he is not
here he is risen he is alive today he's not dead he's alive you accept him by faith and he comes into your life and into your heart and you know that he's who he claims to be you can accept him as your Lord and your savior and your master and the Son of God and he will come into your heart and forgive your sin and change your life and you are asked today to receive it in fact if you're going to go to heaven the Bible teaches you have to receive him if you're going to
have your sins forgiven you have to receive [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you
