1. His Eternal Existence: John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being by Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. Colossians 1:15-16 And He [speaking of Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things have been created by Him and for Him. 2. His Virgin Birth Though Jesus existed with God before the foundation of the world, He came into the world as the God-man, the only human ever born in this unique and supernatural way. He was born of a virgin. Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold a virgin will be with child and bear a son and she will call His name Immanuel. 3. His Sinless Life: Hebrews 4:14-15 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. 3. His Substitutionary Death: 1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, in order that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit. 4. His Bodily Resurrection: Matthew 28:6-7 He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come see the place where He was lying. 7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going before you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you. 5. His Ascension into Heaven: Acts 1:9 After He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 6. His Certain Return: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. |
