  1. Faith 101Discovering the Faith Lesson 4: The Person and Work of Jesus Christ

  2. Who is this Jesus? • What’s His Name? • Jesus (GK) • Yeshua (HB) • “God Saves” • What’s His Title? • Christ (GK) • Messiah (HB) • Chosen or Anointed One • He is the One “chosen by God” (Christ) to be our Savior (Jesus)

  3. Three Offices of the Anointed One • Three Offices established by anointing: • Prophet • Priest • King • By fulfilling these offices, Jesus fulfills prophecy and shows he is the Christ.

  4. Three Offices of the Anointed One • Prophet • Foretells • Forth-tells • Jesus as Our Prophet • Jesus is God’s word to Us in flesh and blood to Make God known(John 1:14 & 18; Heb 1:1) He still makes God known through His Messengers (2 Corinthians 5:20)

  5. Three Offices of the Anointed One • Priest – • A Bridge between God and Man (Hebrews 5:1) • Jesus is our Great High Priest (Heb. 4:14-16) • He is the One mediator between God and Man (1 Tim. 2:5-6) • He offered the One Sacrifice (Heb. 10:10-12) • He intercedes for us (Romans 8:33-34; 1 John 2:1-2)

  6. Three Offices of the Anointed One • Three Kingdoms • Kingdom of Power – World • Kingdom of Grace – Church on Earth • Kingdom of Glory – Church in Heaven • Jesus is our King (Matthew 28:18-20; Ephesians 1:20-22 2 Tim 4:18)

  7. Left Hand – Power (Romans 13) All People belong to Kingdom Purpose – Civil order in society Means – Law Mediators – parents, government, army, policy, teachers all in authority Established in 4th commandment Right Hand – Grace (Ephesians 1:18-22) Believers in Christ on Earth Purpose – Salvation Means – forgiveness of sins offered in preaching of Word and Administration of Sacraments Mediators – church, pastors, parents, all who teach us the faith Established in Matthew 28:18-20 Kingdoms of Jesus on Earth

  8. Two Natures • At Christmas We Celebrate that in one Person the Divine Nature (Conceived by Holy Spirit) and the Human nature (Born of the Virgin Mary) are united, never to be divided again. • Jesus is both God and Man – the perfect bridge between God and Man (John 1:1 and 14; Galatians 4:4ff)

  9. And Yet One Person • He is as fully God as God the Father and the Holy Spirit. • He is as fully human as you or I. • Not a 50-50 Split • Not a Multiple Personality Disorder • Indivisible. Christ is forever a real human person, even now in heaven. • Like the Trinity, this doesn’t have to make sense to be true.

  10. Jesus the God/Man in One Person • He had to be man so He could die, so He could stand in our place • He had to be God so He could be without sin and rise again • He had to be both to be the perfect bridge between God and man

  11. State of Humiliation • Not in becoming a man • That as a man Jesus does not insist on rights and powers of God (Philippians 2:5-8) • Presents Christ the Victim • 5 Steps (in the Apostle’s Creed) • Conceived by Holy Spirit • Born of Virgin Mary • Suffered Under Pontius Pilate • Crucified, • Dead and Buried

  12. Christ is our Substitute • He takes our place in life – active obedience He lives a perfect life in our place (Matthew 4, Matt 12:29; Hebrews 4:14-15; Hebrews 5:7-9) • He takes our place in death – passive obedience He pays the price for our sins by His death (Luke 22:39-42; Romans 4:25)

  13. Death on a Cross • Crucifixion is a terrible way to die • Real suffering of the Cross is Spiritual

  14. He Died for all, the Righteous for the unrighteous • Jesus is the scapegoat • Jesus is the Lamb without blemish or spot who takes away the sin of the world (1 Peter 1:18-19; John 1:29) • Jesus is the suffering servant Isaiah foresaw in Isaiah 53

  15. State of Exaltation • Not that He is God • That as Man He now Shares in the glory and power of God (Philippians 2:9-11) • Presents Christ the Victor! • 5 Steps (in the Apostle’s Creed) • Descended into Hell • Rose again the third day • Ascended into Heaven • Sits at God’s right Hand • Comes again to judge

  16. Which is More Important? • Good Friday and Easter Can’t be separated • The Christian faith stands or falls based on what happens that weekend

  17. Who is Jesus? • Just a good person, a wise teacher? • A Liar? • A Lunatic? • Our Lord?

  18. Christ’s Resurrection Shows • Jesus is the Son of God • His teaching is the truth • God accepted the sacrifice of his Son for the world • All shall rise

  19. As God and Man Jesus Now Reigns over all • This is the meaning of His ascension and being seated at God’s right hand • Right Hand of God = God exercises all his power through Jesus • God has given Him as Head over everything for the church(Eph. 1) • We have a Lord and King in Heaven who has walked in our shoes(Hebrews 4:14-16)

  20. Jesus alone is Qualified to Judge us • He is God • He is man – yet without sin • He paid the price • All that condemns is unbelief (Matthew 25) • As judge Jesus is truly the victor • comfort for believer and terror for unbeliever
