~ Great Truths About Jesus Christ
From John 1—Part B ~
The first
chapter of the Apostle John’s Gospel is full of information about who Jesus
Christ is. Consider the following:
Jesus Christ Is The Source of Grace
~ “And
the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as
of the only begotten of the Father, full
of grace and truth” (John 1:14).
“For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through
Jesus Christ” (John 1:17).
Jesus Christ Is The Source of Truth
~ “And
the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as
of the only begotten of the Father, full of
grace and truth” (John 1:14). “For the law was given through Moses, but
grace and truth came through Jesus Christ”
(John 1:17).
Jesus Christ Is The Messiah
~ “For
the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ”
(John 1:17). “One of the two who heard John speak, and
followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first found his
own brother Simon, and said to him, ‘We
have found the Messiah’ (which is translated, the Christ)” (John 1:40-41).
“Then the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid, for behold, I
bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city
of David a Savior, who is Christ [The
Messiah] the Lord. And this will be
the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a
manger’” (Luke 2:10-12).
Jesus Christ Is The Lamb Of God
~ “The
next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, ‘Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the
world!’” (John 1:29). “Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. And looking at Jesus
as He walked, he said, ‘Behold the Lamb of God!’ (John 1:35-36).
Jesus Christ Is The Master Teacher
~ “The
two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following,
said to them, ‘What do you seek?’ They said to Him, ‘Rabbi’
(which is to say, when translated, Teacher),
‘where are You staying?’” (John 1:37-38).
Jesus Christ Is The Ultimate Leader
~ “Now
Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found
Nathanael and said to him, ‘We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and
also the prophets, wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.’ And Nathanael said
to him, ‘Can anything good come out of Nazareth?’ Philip said to him,
‘Come and see’” (John
1: 44-46).
Jesus Christ Is The Son Of Man
~ “Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Because I
said to you, “I saw you under the fig tree,” do you believe? You will see greater things than these.’ And He said to him, ‘Most assuredly, I say to
you, hereafter you shall see heaven
open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man’” (John 1:50-51).
the key question:
“Who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15). This is the most important question you will
ever answer. If you do not answer it, or
answer it incorrectly, you have made the biggest mistake anyone can make!
