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.

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!
E
qual 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!

 If you wish too, you can look all these passages in your bible later?

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!
