Jesus is God

The Life of Jesus Christ   11b

“Jesus is God” part 1

Read aloud the following scriptures

Isaiah 64:6  Psalm 14:3  Psalm 39:5  Psalm 62:9  Romans 3:12  Romans 7:18

These verses are not to be avoided by the Bible reader.  They bring to surface certain emotions about ourselves that wouldn’t be so if we were to never read them.

Question: What are these emotions and why is it important that have them?  In-other-words, how do these emotions make us feel about ourselves and why is it important that we feel this way from time to time?

What is holiness?  Holiness is the standard of Heaven and the foolish confession of every man.  “In our own eyes” we feel the need to be holy and become so by comparing ourselves to our neighbor.  This allows us to retain some since of self hope.  But the truth is, God alone is holy (Rev. 15:4)

Why holiness?  Holiness is the platform for all other attributes to be built upon.  Without holiness, all other attributes of God or man fall to ruin.  This is why we have nothing to offer to God in the way of salvation but the sin which He so gracefully forgives.  Once this takes place, all other attributes can begin to take form.

Calvary, the place of death and holiness

When we think of Calvary, we tend to think of pain, suffering, blood and death.  All of these things were so.  However, when Heaven saw Calvary, on the day of our Lord’s crucifixion, it witnessed holiness in its greatest form: a holy God who could not look upon sin.
