Series: The Jesus Factor - #2 The Biblical Jesus (by Jeff Hartensveld)


Introduction: What is this series about?  

    * It is based on questions that you asked.
    * It should help you get to know exactly who Jesus was.
    * I will try and answer all the questions.
    * What is fact and what is fiction.

 

 

In Today’s message I’m going to break it into three categories. 

    * Was he God Or Man and what is His nature and purpose?
    * Did He ever sin?
    * What about heaven and hell?

 

 

Was he God Or Man and What is his nature and purpose? 

    * Who is Jesus? I still don’t understand about the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, & Holy Spirit) Because if He is God, why he pray to his father?
    * I have always wanted more information/explanation on Trinity.
    * Is Jesus son of God or He is God Himself?             
    * I believe in Jesus but sometimes Im confused  what’s the connection between Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross caused He save us from sins?
    * Why did Jesus take unpopular way by to be born in a poor family & died on the shameful cross, is it just to proclaim salvation to human? I wonder what would Jesus say to see His church in this modern day? Would he be satisfied?

 

 

Was he God Or Man and What is his nature and purpose? 

    * 1 God and 3 persons.
    * There is only one God.  NT Writers especially interchanged Jesus, & The Holy Spirit as God. OT Deuteronomy 5:7, exodus 20:3, Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 45:5,6 NT 1Cor 8:4-6
    * The Trinity is a mystery to us as Humans and will probably remain so.
    * Jesus is God. Malachi 3:1, John 1:1, 10:30
    * His simple upbringing Eph. 4:4-10, Heb. 4:14-16

 

 

Did He ever Sin? 

    * Did Jesus ever get angry with anyone when he was alive?
    * Why didn’t Jesus ask permission from Mary + Joseph before he went to the synagogue? After all, they were His parents (His authority for the moment) and they were so nervous looking for him every where.
    * Because Jesus lived in a human body without sin, does that mean it is possible for us to live without sin?
    * Jesus as a man, when He was 12, He did not ask permission from His parents also He got angry to the merchants in the temple and beated them, hasn’t he did sin? When he was not matured, he must have done many childish deed, he must be naughty His parents? His wisdom grew? (Luke 2:40)


Did He ever Sin? 

    * Let’s talk about the specific temptations Matt 4:1-11
    * DID HE GET ANGRY in the Temple? Matt 21:12-13,  Mark 11:15,  Luke 19:45, & John 2:13-16.
    * Did He Disobey His parents? Luke 2:41-52
    * Ultimately Let’s HOPE NOT!

 

 

What about Heaven and Hell?  How Could He? 

    * Can Jesus accept a soul that has gone to hell?
    * Why did Jesus give us different religions? (Why would Jesus create people in different religions? It means that he creates those people just to go to hell, doesn’t it?
    * Does Jesus really forgive our sins? If he does, then do all Christians go to heaven when they passed away? Then, why do we need hell? I mean, why does hell exist anyway?
    * What does God mean by: as He is, so are we in this world.
 

What about Heaven and Hell?  How Could He? 

    * Nothing in the Bible indicates a second Chance.
    * Jesus doesn’t want to send anyone to hell.
    * But some will choose to go there.
    * Everything has to be paid for.
