Today we begin a new series leading up to Easter. I want to encourage everyone to begin praying about whom they will invite to church over the next several weeks and especially the Easter holiday. It is a weekend that many will come to church if invited, so begin asking and praying now. The title of this series is Snapshots of a Savior. Each week we will a different at Christ. We begin today talking about that saying that we hear a lot about Christ. Fully God, Fully Man. And what does that mean to us or why does it matter or is it really true?
Jesus the God
- John 1:14
- The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
- John 14:9-11
- Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.
- Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
Jesus the Man
- Jesus was fathered by God and born to Mary. Jesus also had brothers and sisters.
- Luke 2:52
- And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
- John 11:35
- o Jesus Wept
- John 4:6,8
- o Jacob’s well was there, so Jesus, since he was tired from the journey, sat right down beside the well. It was about noon.
- o A Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.”
Application
- Philippians 2:5-7
- Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.
- He sets aside His high position and waves His divine prerogatives because He loves us. But while Christ surrenders His divine glory, he does not surrender His divine attributes.
- What will you surrender today?
