Your Life in Christ: DFD1 Ch. 2: The Person of Jesus Christ
- 78
This post involves answers I gave in response to the book, "Your Life in Christ". These answers all involve a brief description of
certain verses in the Bible. Here is what I wrote down on July 15, 2010:
1a.) Verse 4-5
The Bible shows in Hebrews that God is higher than the angels.
His name is higher than the angels.
1b.) Verse 6
God’s angels worship God.
After God bring the firstborn into the world, he lets his angels worship Him.
1c.) Verse 13-14
He gives his angels protection against their enemies.
God gives them salvation.
2.) Jesus is the Creator: Verse 10
Jesus is unchangeable: Verse 12
Jesus is eternal: Verse 8
Jesus is righteous: Verse 9
3.) He is the reflection of God’s glory. What this means is that Jesus is God, but in human format.
4.) God views Jesus as being a righteous ruler, a person that enjoyed God’s creation and his Word.
5.) He promises them eternal life. This makes me feel good because if I follow Jesus, I will never perish.
6a.) Verse 3
He made a leper “clean”, meaning cured of leprosy.
6b.) Verses 6, 13
He healed a centurion’s servant exactly at the time that the centurion spoke with Jesus.
6c.) Verses 16-17
He healed many people: those with demons were sick, etc.
6d.) Verses 23-27
He stills a storm just by his hands.
7.) If I were there seeing Jesus perform these miracles, I would describe to a friend that I saw something unnatural and something totally impossible.
8.) I think that the people responded to these power total polar opposites. Some people could have thought that they would lose their power because of Christ. Others would have wept with joy and happiness.
9.) Peter concludes of Jesus being the Messiah.
9a.) Peter in the book of Acts views Jesus as being actually God.

When he performed miracles, this also proved he was God.
He lived the way that God wanted him to; this also proved he was God.
12a.) John 4:6
Jesus’ humanity is showed with Jesus sitting on the well.
12b.) John 4:7
His humanity is showed by asking a foreign woman if he could have a drink of water.
12c.) John 11:35
