Jesus Christ
is ___________ and always speaks and acts truthfully with each person
of The Godhead (Trinity). Jesus Christ
is __________ and always loves each person of The Godhead Jesus Christ
is ___________ and will always act perfectly. Jesus Christ
is ___________ and will always be faithful to each person of The Godhead.
Before anything was created, in forever past. Jesus Christ volunteered
to take on the role to be the Creator and Saviour of all mankind. They
already knew from Their Omnis___________ all that would take place in
the history of mankind. They knew how mankind would fail in making their
own wrong choices, in spite of Gods command to them. God knew they would
need someone to rescue them. God The Son
volunteered to do this job Himself and provided the perfect solution
for our sin, and deadness to God.
To accomplish this He had to become a man like us, so that He could
pay the penalty for our sins and be punished instead of us. He had to become
our Mediator. He had to become our go-between for our sins.
We
are born God’s enemy and He had to act on our behalf so we could be
His friends.
He had to be born
a MAN to be our sin bearer, and still be perfectly God too.
A Mediator
is the one who stands between two waring parties to make peace between
them both. Jesus Christ had to become our go-between to sew us together
again with God.

Drill: 1 Timothy 2:5-6
The Person of The Lord Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ becomes a man while at the same
time, still being completely God.
This is very special and a ONE OF A KIND person.
No one has been born
in this way ever before!
How is this
possible? You may ask.
The answer is shown
in the Bible – Gods Word!!
God sent His only Son Jesus
Christ to rescue us. He came as a baby, and was born in a humble animal
feeding trough called a manger. He was born to a lady named Mary. He
had no human dad, as God was His Father. Mary still had a husband, but
they didn’t get married until after Jesus was born.
Sword Drill:
Isaiah 9:6
God’s only Son, who is named
Jesus Christ, became Gods greatest gift, for you and me.
He was the
only baby born to die! He was
born as the God Man!
Equal character with God; and equal character with man. Two Natures
in One Person forever
In His Divine Nature He was holding the universe together.
In His human
Nature, He was going to pave our way back to God again.
None of His\his
natures ever blended together, or were ever mixed together.
He knew how
to operate from both His Natures PERFECTLY.

Prophesies about
Jesus Christ
Can anyone tell me what a prophecy is, and who
made prophecies?
A prophecy
is when an event about a person in the future is foretold and what is
actually said comes perfectly true, on time and exactly how they said
it would happen.
Key Word: Messiah
– Anointed and Appointed Saviour
Did you know
there are at least 45 prophecies about Jesus Christ - The Messiah, in
the Old Testament, all about His birth, Life rejection and His death?
Here are a few of them to think about!
Jesus Christ Coming
into the World
Prophecy Genesis 3:15 – Came true Galatians 4:4
The Place of His Birth
Prophecy Micah 5:2 – Came true Luke 2:4 - 7
The Time of His Birth
Prophecy Daniel 9:25 – Came true Luke 2:1 - 2
His Birth to a Virgin
Prophecy Isaiah 7:14 – Came true Luke 1:26 - 27
Betrayed by a Close Friend
Prophecy Psalm 55:12-14 – Came true Luke 22 47 - 48
Crucified on a Cross
Prophecy Isaiah 53:12 - Came true Mark 15:27-28
Buried with the Rich
Prophecy Isaiah 53:9 - Came true Matthew 27:57-60
Resurrected from the Dead
Prophecy Psalm 49:15 - Came true Mark 16:6-7
If you wish
too, you can look all these passages in your bible later?
Now Jesus had
arrived as God had promised in Genesis 3.
He had to grow
up into an adult and remain perfect, without sinning at all.
Only then could He be a “qualified” sin bearer for you and me
and satisfy His Father commands for His life.

to obey His Mum and His human Dad along with His Heavenly Father too.

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father: Thankyou that your Son Jesus Christ volunteered
to come to this earth, to be the one who was punished, instead of me
upon the cross at Calvary. Thankyou
that You brought Him back from the dead and He is now lives with you
in heaven. Thank you that He is going to come back for me and take me
to be with you one day soon. Help me through your Holy Spirit and your
promises to think and decide for the good of others just as Jesus Christ
did. Then I too can be like Him in all I think, say and do. Then they
might like to come to know Jesus too. I ask these things and thankyou
in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
