What think ye of Christ Matt 22:42

1
What think ye of Christ?(Matt 2242)
2

• (Matt 2241-46) While the Pharisees were
  gathered together, Jesus asked them, Saying, What
  think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say
  unto him, The Son of David. He saith unto them,
  How then doth David in spirit call him Lord,
  saying, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on
  my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy
  footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is
  he his son? And no man was able to answer him a
  word, neither durst any man from that day forth
  ask him any more questions.

3
Who is Jesus? (To You?)

• What do you think of the Christ?
• (Mark 1615-16)
• Great Commission
• In order to fulfill this mission we need to
  completely understand who Jesus is.

4
Jesus is Our Savior

• (Gal 44-6) But when the fulness of the time was
  come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman,
  made under the law, To redeem them that were
  under the law, that we might receive the adoption
  of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent
  forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts,
  crying, Abba, Father.

5
Jesus is Our Savior

• Made of Woman
• (John 114) And the Word was made 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.
• Knows what its like to be tempted to be human

6
God Cannot be Tempted

• (James 113) Let no man say when he is tempted,
  I am tempted of God for God cannot be tempted
  with evil, neither tempteth he any man

7
Jesus Was Able to Be Tempted

• (Heb 415-16) For we have not an high priest
  which cannot be touched with the feeling of our
  infirmities but was in all points tempted like
  as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore
  come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may
  obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of
  need.

8
Jesus was Made Under the Law

• (Matt 121) And she shall bring forth a son, and
  thou shalt call his name JESUS for he shall save
  his people from their sins.
• (Luke 210-11) And the angel said unto them,
  Fear not for, behold, I bring you good tidings
  of great joy, which shall be to all people. For
  unto you is born this day in the city of David a
  Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

9
Jesus was Made Under the Law

• Herod Knew the King was to be born in Bethlehem.
  
• (Matt 23-6) When Herod the king had heard these
  things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with
  him. And when he had gathered all the chief
  priests and scribes of the people together, he
  demanded of them where Christ should be born.
  And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea
  for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou
  Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least
  among the princes of Juda for out of thee shall
  come a Governor, that shall rule my people
  Israel.

10
Jesus was Made Under the Law

• The Wise Men Knew Who Jesus Was
• (Matt 211) And when they were come into the
  house, they saw the young child with Mary his
  mother, and fell down, and worshipped him and
  when they had opened their treasures, they
  presented unto him gifts gold, and frankincense,
  and myrrh.

11
Jesus was Made Under the Law
The Degree of HOW much the Law Convinced Them of
the Christ!

• (Matt 216) Then Herod, when he saw that he was
  mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and
  sent forth, and slew all the children that were
  in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from
  two years old and under, according to the time
  which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.

12
Made Under the Law to Fulfill It

• (Matt 517-18) Think not that I am come to
  destroy the law, or the prophets I am not come
  to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say
  unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or
  one title shall in no wise pass from the law,
  till all be fulfilled.

13
Jesus came to save people from their sins

• (John 316-17) For God so loved the world, that
  he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
  believeth in him should not perish, but have
  everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into
  the world to condemn the world but that the
  world through him might be saved. He that
  believeth on him is not condemned but he that
  believeth not is condemned already, because he
  hath not believed in the name of the only
  begotten Son of God.

14
Jesus came to save people from their sins

• (1 John 22) And he is the propitiation for our
  sins and not for ours only, but also for the
  sins of the whole world.
• Propitiation Take away the wrath of God by
  becoming the substitute for us.

15
Our Substitution Jesus Christ

• (Rom 56-9) For when we were yet without
  strength, in due time Christ died for the
  ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will
  one die yet peradventure for a good man some
  would even dare to die. But God commendeth his
  love toward us, in that, while we were yet
  sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then,
  being now justified by his blood, we shall be
  saved from wrath through him.

16
Jesus Is Our Savior!

• (1 Tim 115) This is a faithful saying, and
  worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came
  into the world to save sinners of whom I am
  chief.

17
Jesus Is Our Lord

• (1 Cor 13) Grace be unto you, and peace, from
  God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
• Lord - kurios (koo'-ree-os) from kuros
  (supremacy) supreme in authority, i.e. (as noun)
  controller by implication, Mr. (as a respectful
  title)

18
Supreme In Authority

• (Matt 2819) All power is given unto me in
  heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach
  all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
  Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost
  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
  have commanded you and, lo, I am with you alway,
  even unto the end of the world. Amen.

19
Jesus Is Our Lord

• (Phil 26-11) Wherefore God also hath highly
  exalted him, and given him a name which is above
  every name Jesus Christ is Lord
• (Acts 236) Therefore let all the house of
  Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that
  same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and
  Christ.

20
Jesus Is Our Lord
King of kings and Lord of lords

• (1 Tim 615) Which in his times he shall shew,
  who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King
  of kings, and Lord of lords

21
Jesus is Our Intercessor

• (Heb 724-25) But this man, because he
  continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
  Wherefore he is able also to save them to the
  uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he
  ever liveth to make intercession for them.

22
Jesus is Our Intercessor

• Makes petitions on our behalf
• Levite Priesthood Went to offer up sacrifice
  for the nation of God.
• Jesus Christ Went into the holies of holy to
  offer up himself for all.
• (Heb 726-27) For such an high priest became
  us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate
  from sinners, and made higher than the heavens
  Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to
  offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and
  then for the people's for this he did once, when
  he offered up himself.

23
Jesus is Our Intercessor

• (1 John 21) My little children, these things
  write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man
  sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus
  Christ the righteous

24
Jesus Is Our Mediator

• Jesus is our go between, our middle men.
• Man God

(1 Tim 25-6) For there is one God, and one
mediator between God and men, the man Christ
Jesus Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be
testified in due time.
With Christ
Before Sin
After Sin
25
Our Mediator When We Pray

• (John 1623) And in that day ye shall ask me
  nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you,
  Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he
  will give it you.

26
Jesus Is Our Example

• (1 Pet 220-24) For what glory is it, if, when
  ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it
  patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer
  for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable
  with God. For even hereunto were ye called
  because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us
  an example, that ye should follow his steps Who
  did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth
  Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again when
  he suffered, he threatened not but committed
  himself to him that judgeth righteously Who his
  own self bare our sins in his own body on the
  tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live
  unto righteousness by whose stripes ye were
  healed.

27
Jesus Is Our Example

• (Matt 1624) Then said Jesus unto his disciples,
  If any man will come after me, let him deny
  himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
• (1 John 26) He that saith he abideth in him
  ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

28
Jesus is Our Example

• (Heb 121-2) Wherefore seeing we also are
  compassed about with so great a cloud of
  witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the
  sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run
  with patience the race that is set before us,
  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our
  faith who for the joy that was set before him
  endured the cross, despising the shame, and is
  set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
