Jesus: Lord
One of the strongest statements about Jesus was given by one of the disciple’s known for his doubt. John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Thomas doubted the other disciples and the women who testified of Jesus’ resurrection. After a personal visitation by Christ, Thomas emphasized his allegiance toContinue reading “Jesus: Lord”
Jesus: Son of Man
One of the titles that Jesus applied to Himself is “Son of Man.” It is found in the Old Testament and New Testament. It signifies the humanity that Christ added to deity through the incarnation. The Gospel writer, Luke, emphasizes this title. This association with Christ is not by coincidence with Luke being a doctor andContinue reading “Jesus: Son of Man”
Jesus: Son of God
If you were to ask someone who Jesus is, you would probably hear someone say that He is the “Son of God.” What does this mean? Especially, in light of Scripture that tells us that we are the children, sons, or daughters of God (Matthew 5:9; John 1:12; Romans 8:14-19; Galatians 3:26; 1 John 3:1).Continue reading “Jesus: Son of God”
Jesus: The Word
Jesus said the Pharisees, “Before Abraham was, I am” (John 8:58). Scripture makes clear that Jesus existed before creation. Scripture is also clear that Jesus was not a part of creation but the cause of it. John beautifully describes the pre-incarnate nature of Jesus: John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word wasContinue reading “Jesus: The Word”
Jesus: The Christ
After writing my previous post (Jesus: Name above all Names), I received an e-mail asking what is the meaning of Christ and whether it was Jesus’ last name. I gave them a little bit of the sense and told them that the name, “Christ,” was my next post in the series. Matthew 16:16 “And Simon PeterContinue reading “Jesus: The Christ”
Jesus: Name Above All Names
Jesus is the central theme of Holy Scriptures. We find the likeness of Him in every book of the Bible. The Old Testament foretells of His first advent. The New Testament testifies of His life incarnate, His continuing work and second coming. Without Christ, we do not have hope. In the days to come, I am writingContinue reading “Jesus: Name Above All Names”
Handling Conflict
We live in a world of constant tension. When we are around others, there is always a chance of conflict. Here are my tips for handling conflicts. Seek to make much of Jesus even in Conflict. 1 Corinthians 10:31 – “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory ofContinue reading “Handling Conflict”
Who are we?
Theology concerning personhood is a doctrine that finds itself rooted in Trinitarian theology and language. These foundational beliefs have been considered the orthodox stance of the church since its conception. Possessing a Christian worldview of personhood will have profound implications for our world today. Our understanding of the Trinity and personhood is seen in theContinue reading “Who are we?”
Worshipping Christ at Christmas
It is possible that in the constant rush of this season that our worship comes directly out of duty and habit. Perhaps we forget the what and why that provides the foundation for our Christmas celebrations. That fundamental basis is the incarnation. It may even be true that we have never actually understood the importanceContinue reading “Worshipping Christ at Christmas”
