Who Is Jesus To You

Beloved this evening I want to preach on the holy and righteous God we serve Jesus Christ. Many people with in the world we live in today have the slightest idea who Jesus Christ really is, nor do they realize all He can do for them and because of that leaving them confused of His great might and power, but the bible beloved is the final authority and the word of God is a soul saving truth. It is because of the death of Jesus and the resurrection of His majesty that I stand here today in my right mind and full of joy. It is because of His grace and mercy that marriages become restored, families get redeemed and lives begin to be used for His glory and His glory alone.

Many know Jesus Christ as being the virgin birth of Mary and being ridiculed and mocked and ultimately dying on the cross for mankind, but many miss the truth of Jesus being alive today and being a comforter for the fragile, a restorer for the broken and a healer for the afflicted. Many miss the wonderful good news of the Gospel of Jesus being our hope and way of making heaven our home, and this evening we will go through scripture to help us understand a little more of who Jesus is, and what He wants to do for you and I and how He can help us be victorious in our lives as we walk with Him.

“The first miracle and Purpose”

Matthew 1:18-25 (New International Version, ©2010)

18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about[a]: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet[b] did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. 20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[c] because he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”[d] (which means “God with us”). 24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

Beloved as we have read our scripture we first see that the prophecy that was of Isaiah was fulfilled through the virgin birth of Mary as it is said that she will give birth to the Savior of the world. The bible says that the reason for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is to save the world of their sins and that is through the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and not to forget the need to pray a prayer of repentance. Now as we see beloved in our scripture it reads that the angel of the Lord commands Joseph to give the child the name Jesus which means God with us.

John 1:1-5 (New King James Version)

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend[a] it.

Many who are not aware of a wonderful Savior that was sent to this sinful world to save a sinner from His / Her error will not be able to comprehend the glory of Jesus because they lack and will not understand the purpose of His coming and that was simply to die a shameful death for you and I to live a life of dignity.

John 1:14 (New King James Version)

14 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.

The bible says the word became flesh and we beheld His glory but were confused. Beloved if you do not know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior who is He to you? Many know Him as a good man, as a prophet and nothing more, some see Him as a revolutionist, as a leader, but I see Him as my personal Savior this evening. The light of the world, the only way to get to the Father in Heaven is through Him who is Jesus. The bible says the in the book of John:
