Essentials Part 2 – More than Just a Man
MESSAGE SUMMARY:
In our exploration of Jesus Christ's identity, we delve into the profound truth that He is more than just a man. We examine His pre-incarnate existence, His claims to divinity, and the historical responses to these claims. The Gospel of John provides key insights, particularly John 1:1 and 1:14, emphasizing Christ's eternal nature and His incarnation. As we reflect on Jesus' 'I am' statements, we're confronted with His bold assertions of equality with God.
This message challenges us to consider our personal response to Christ's identity. Will we ignore, deny, or embrace Him as Lord? The story of the six-year-old girl describing Jesus as 'God with skin on' beautifully encapsulates the mystery of the incarnation. This exploration invites us to open our hearts, yielding our lives fully to Christ's lordship, and experiencing the transformative peace that comes from truly knowing Him.
TODAY’S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus’ name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.
TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM A CHILD OF GOD. Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God-- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. John 1:12f
