WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE CHRIST ?

There is not one person on Earth who would have attracted the attention of so many people as a result of three and a half years of activity, like Jesus Christ.

Ernest Renan, French philosopher of the 19th century, the enemy of Christianity, said: «to delete your name in the world, to destroy the world to its foundations. "

Traces of the influence of Christ visible everywhere:

hospitals, nursing homes, the Red Cross

-spiritual books of best writers

-sacred music the best composers

-the world of morality

-World of beauty ( see Philippians 4.8 )

Renan said:

What would have been the fate of the unknown to us, but Jesus will never be surerlatived. His veneration will continuously grow, never will grow old; His history at any time will cause tears; His suffering always soften honourabllest heart; every century declares that the sons of mankind was NEVER GREATER THAN Jesus.

Many people think that he was a great man, a great teacher, a popular leader, social reformer and etc But here's evidence of pupils that he towers over all these titles:

HE IS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD.

John 6.69

IT WILL SAVE PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS.

Matthew 1.21

Question: "what do you think about the Christ?" is very important because IT DETERMINES OUR DESTINY-Salvation or condemnation.

Christ is the hope of the Patriarchs and prophets

The Patriarchs not only knew about the coming of the Redeemer (Redeemer from sin), but believed in It so much that it believed future events as would be concealed.

1. Christ of faith in him, Abraham:

Abraham, your father, was glad to see My day; and saw and rejoiced. BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS, I AM.

John 8.56, 58

Verse 58 says that Christ, as the second person of deity, there is from the days of the eternal (creation).

2. the prophecy of Isaiah:

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given to us; the Government will be upon his shoulder, and they shall call his name: Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting father, Prince of peace.

Isaiah 9.6

3. Moses wrote about him:

If you believed Moses ( Gen 1.1 and 3.15 ), ye would have believed me because he wrote about me.

John 5.46

4. the Apostle Peter also Moses and other prophets:

Moses said: Lord God of your fathers will raise you from your brothers, like me, OBEY HIM in EVERYTHING. What will he say to you; and will that every soul who does not hear that Prophet, that SHALL BE DESTROYED FROM the PEOPLE. And all the prophets, from Samuel and after him, how many of them may say, the told about this days.

Acts 3.22-24

5. the sacrifice of Christ is described in Chapter 53 of Isaiah: books

The PUNISHMENT of the world (reconciliation) OUR was on it.

Isaiah 53.5

6. the prophets foretold the resurrection of Christ:

BETRAYED IS THE DEATH OF CHRIST, AND NEVER WILL.

Daniel 9.26

For as Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights ( Jonah 2.1-11 ) and the son of Man will be in the heart of Earth three days and three nights.

Matthew 12.40

Conclusion: Patriarchs and prophets observed the coming of the Savior through the eyes of faith. This event is open to them, gave us ( 1 Pet 1.12 ).  We are the same, regardless of the response to the above, see the divine mission of Christ.

Christ is the hope of all the Apostles and of all Christians

The Apostles (the nearest disciples) Christ spoke and wrote what is seen and EVER HEARD - shawls ( 1 John 1.1 ). It should therefore be more likely to believe one witness compared to the thousands of people who have seen nothing and heard.

God the father testified about her son twice:

- baptism ( Matthew 3.11-17, 2 Pet. 1.17 ), where he took from the father honour and glory, got blessings, although it did nothing of myself

- the Transfiguration on the mount  ( Matthew 17.15, 2 Pet. 1.18 )

We have brought you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, not  following Fables, but being witness to his greatness.

2 Peter 1.16

The Apostles were based on prophecies – the word of God ( 2 Peter 1.19-21 ).

 

Jesus proves the certificate itself that makes the case of the father, and this confirms that he is the son of God ( John 10.25, 37-38 ). In addition, it was known that at baptism He was anointed by the Holy Spirit, and then made goods and healed all  ( Acts 10.37-38 ).

Jesus gave his disciples to spread the Gospel ( Matthew 28.18-20 ). It demonstrated the unshakable spiritual power of Christ. No one is able to make disciples not to say what they saw and heard  ( Acts 4.18-20 ).

The Apostle Paul says that the Gospel is the power of God ( Romans 1.16 ), since the author his Jesus is son of God and personal Savior of man, who is from the beginning ( the number 1.12-17 ).

Jesus Christ confirmed the faith of his disciples, because:

- God gave them the faith ( Matthew 16.15-17 )

- They accept Christ as his teacher ( John 13.13 )

-They appreciated the verbs of eternal life ( John 6.68 )

They were in close relation with him, heard the words of divine wisdom, saw with his own eyes, his love and forgiveness, witnessed the miraculous force.

THEY HAD THE POWER AND INFLUENCE OF THE LOVE OF GOD, EMANATING FROM CHRIST.

For the Scripture tells us that God is LOVE ( 1 John 4.19, John 3.16 ).

The same belief will come and we will take if the call of Christ and enter in close communion with him.
