  1. Jesus: Man of Heaven Doctrine 2 Unit 3

  2. Jesus amongst others? • If you removed Moses would Judaism be undone? • If you removed Mohammed would Islam be undone? • If you removed Jesus would Christianity be undone?

  3. For this reason, a Christ-less gospel of universal brotherhood and social welfare (berlin) is an empty caricature of 'the faith that was once entrusted for all the saints.' Notes – Pg 42 CHRISTIANITY IS CHRIST

  4. In Adam? Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust… From last week - what does this mean?

  5. Jesus and the Gospel? • Read Romans 1:1-4 • What do we learn about the Gospel? "Christian Theology, like Christian Preaching, is about pointing people to Jesus - who he is, what he has done, and the claims he makes on the lives of man and woman. The New Testament provides the key to how this is to be done. The inspired testimony of the apostles repeatedly explains the significance of Jesus against the backdrop of Old Testament expectation interpreted by his own words and actions" – Notes Pg43

  6. Who is Jesus? The Lord’s Christ OT Background on who was annointed • Exodus 28:41 • 1 Samuel 10:1, 16:3 • 1 Kings 19:16 MINUS TRIPLEX

  7. Christ & The Davidic Covenant How do these verses depict the messiah? What do they tell us about his work? • Psalm 2 • Isaiah 9:7,11:1-10 • Jeremiah 30:8-9, 33:14-22 • Ezekiel 34:20-24 • Micah 5:2-5

  8. Messianic expectations/pretenders For most devout Jews, it seemed as if the exile of Israel were still continuing. For, though they were physically living in the land of their forebears, the land of promise, it seemed as if Yahweh, the God of their forebears, had abandoned them. They were strangers in their own lands, ruled by men who did not worship Yahweh. They longed for the day when Yahweh would act in power to cleanse the land of these idolaters and re-establish his own rule (Yahweh’s kingdom) through his own anointed priest or king (messiah in Hebrew, Christos in Greek, lit. Anointed one) - VinothRamachandra 'The Jesus Inigma'

  9. Messianic expectations/pretenders There was one Judas, a Galilean, of a city whose name was Gamala, who, taking with him Zadok, a Pharisee, became zealous to draw them to a revolt. Both said that this taxation was no better than an introduction to slavery, and exhorted the nation to assert their liberty; as if they could procure them happiness and security for what they possessed, and an assured enjoyment of a still greater good, which was that of the honor and glory they would thereby acquire for magnanimity. They also said that God would not otherwise be assisting to them, than upon their joining with one another in such councils as might be successful, and for their own advantage; and this especially, if they would set about great exploits, and not grow weary in executing the same. So men received what they said with pleasure, and this bold attempt proceeded to a great height. - Josephus, Jewish Antiquities 18.4-6 (cf. Acts 5:36-37)

  10. Jesus arrives…

  11. Who is Jesus? The Lord’s Christ • Read John 6:15 • Jesus avoids using the title in the gospels • Main message – Kingdom of God • Exceeds expectations! • Mark 8:29-31 • Matthew 22:41-46

  12. Who is Jesus? The Son of Man • Preferred Title used by Jesus • How is this title used in OT? • Ezekiel 2:1 • Daniel 7:9-14 • What does it mean for Jesus to be the SofM? • Mark 2:10,28 • Mark 10:33, 45 • Mark 13:26, 14:61-62

  13. Who is Jesus? The Son of Man The image of riding the clouds is reserved for God or as a description of pagan gods in the Old Testament, outside of this text in Daniel (Exod. 14:20; 34:5; Num. 10:34; Ps. 104:3; Isa. 19:1). So the image shows how intimately the function of the Son of Main is tied to divine authority even though the description is of a human - Darrel Bock, Jesus according to scripture

  14. Who is Jesus? The Servant of the Lord • Not used that much by Jesus • What do these verses tell us about this title: • Matt. 12:15-21 cf. Isa. 42:1-4 • Matt. 8:17 cf. Isa. 53:4 • John 12:37-38 cf. Isa. 53:1 • Luke 22:37 cf. Isa. 53:12 • Acts 8:32-35

  15. Who is Jesus? The Son of the Father • Jesus transcends OT messiah categories See John 8:58, Matt 12:42, 22:43-44 (Ps 110:1) Here, Jesus’ exclusive claim to be able to bring us into a relationship with the Father is grounded on the fact that as the Son, he alone, among all humanity, knows the Father. If we are to know the Father, we must depend on the Son to reveal him to us (cf. John 1:18). Jesus is not just one of God’s many sons; he is the Son, to one to whom the Father has handed “all things,” the one whose prerogative it is to choose who will know the Father. Reflect on that claim for just a moment: Jesus asserts it is his prerogative to choose who among all humanity will come to know the Father, that is, who will come to enjoy that relationship with God the Father. Such a prerogative places Jesus on an entirely different level from the rest of the human race. Robert Bowman Jr. And J. Ed. Komoszewski, Putting Jesus in his Place
