“Jesus Who Is Called Christ”
Our Lord was called many things. He called Himself the Son of Man (Matt. 8:20). His enemies called Him “Beelzebub” and “that deceiver” (Matt. 10:25; 27:63). Let’s notice what He was called by a messenger of heaven and inspired men. The angel Gabriel announced to Mary and Joseph that the Son born to Mary would […]
Jesus Who?
In our modern world if one were to hear the name Jesus, they would immediately think of Jesus Christ, as this was the most popular man named Jesus of all time. Others though, who are oblivious to Judaism or the Christian faith, might ask, “Jesus who?” There are many people in this world who profess […]
The Jesus That Failed
Not everyone believes in the same gospel. Paul said there were some who taught a “different gospel, which is not another,” it was a perverted gospel (Galatians 1:6-7). The same is true about Jesus. Not everyone believes in the same Jesus. Paul wrote the Corinthians about those who came to them and preached “another Jesus” […]
Jesus, the Savior of All
The Bible affirms time and again that Jesus Christ is the Savior of all men. For instance, John wrote, “And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world” (1 Jn. 2:2). Jesus, in His death and by the shedding of His blood, paid the […]
Jesus’ Prayer for Unity
“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory […]
Jesus Christ: No Greater Friend or Foe
Jesus Christ can either be our friend or foe. It is wise to seek His friendship and foolish to make Him an enemy. Jesus has extended friendship to all men in that He died for all (John 15:13; 2 Corinthians 5:14-15). We can accept His invitation and enjoy a relationship that exceeds all others. We […]
Jesus Is the Master
The term “Master” is used dozens of times in the gospels to refer to Jesus Christ. This title of address simply means a teacher. Jesus is the great teacher of all mankind. In Luke 5:1-11, there are four areas where Jesus is proven to be our Master. Because of His exalted position, He commands respect […]
Jesus Has Established His Kingdom
Many believe Jesus planned to set up a kingdom when He came to earth, but failed to do so because the Jews rejected Him. The Bible declares this to be false. Jesus planned to establish a kingdom and did it. Jesus came into the world to be King (John 18:37). His will was the Father’s […]
Jesus Died For You
The Bible teaches that Jesus came to die for the sins of the world (Jn. 1:29). He did not die for just a few elect, but for all (1 Jn. 2:2). Sadly, not all will avail themselves of the grace of God, but will reject the Savior and His blood (Acts 13:44-46). Others, however, will […]
Jesus and His Critics
Jesus was often criticized for His teaching. He was accused of lying, arrogance and harshness. They believed He lied when He claimed to be the Son of God (Jn. 19:7; 10:33; 8:58-59). They thought it was pretentious of Him to intimate He was greater than Abraham (Jn. 8:48-53). They felt His teaching was too hard […]
