“Truly, this man was the Son of God!“
WHO IS THIS MAN?
Light of the World – (Jesus is the light of the world, not any nation, government or political ideology)
The Lamb of Israel – (Jesus is the slain Lamb sent by God to redeem humanity and shepherd the nations)
To Whom Homage? – (Jesus refused Satan’s offer of political power)
Servant and King – (The voice from heaven called Jesus my beloved Son, identifying him as the Messiah and the Servant of Yahweh)
He Humbled Himself – (Unlike Adam, the “Servant of Yahweh” did not attempt to grasp the “likeness of God”)
Power and Wisdom – (The proclamation of Christ crucified is God’s power and wisdom)
Suffering Son of Man – (According to Mark, the Son of Man was revealed only in his sufferings and death on a Roman Cross)
Recognizing Jesus – (The Messiah of Israel cannot be understood apart from his death on Calvary)
Jesus and the Centurion – (Only in his sacrificial death can the identity of Jesus and the nature of his messiahship be understood – Mark 15:29-45)
The Anointed Man of the Spirit – (Jesus is the Messiah, the anointed Son of God. From the start, his life was characterized by the empowering presence of the Spirit – Matthew 1:20)
“For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted.”
HIS MINISTRY
Call His Name Jesus – (Matthew 1:18-21 – His name signifies that, “He will save his people from their sins”)
Priest Forever – (His priesthood is superior since it rests on his endless resurrection life and God’s oath)
Merciful and Faithful High Priest – (His priesthood is valid and trustworthy because Jesus died the same death as all men)
