The Narrow-Minded Jesus

MAJ-7

May 19, 2022 • The Gospel of Christ

Give

Jesus said, "Unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of
the scribes and the Pharisees, you will, by no means, enter the kingdom of
heaven." Matthew 5:20.
Welcome to our study of "More About Jesus." In this series of
lessons, we've been thinking about the life of Christ, and trying to be more
like him. In this lesson, we're thinking about the narrow-minded Jesus.
Jesus was narrow-minded on certain subjects. In fact, you'll often hear
Jesus say ‘verily, verily,’ ‘truly, truly,’ ‘unless,’ ‘if and only if’ these are the
things that Jesus definitely felt strongly about.

Jesus in the Old Testament

May 19, 2022 • The Gospel of Christ

It has been rightly stated that if you miss Jesus in the Old Testament, you've missed the ultimate purpose of the Old Testament. Welcome to our study of More About Jesus. In this lesson, we're going to be thinking about Christ in the Old Testament. In this lesson, we're thinking about one of the really powerful and unique studies in the life of Christ-that is Jesus in the Old Testament. Someone has rightly said, ‘If you miss Jesus in the Old Testament, you've pretty much missed the ultimate purpose of the Old Testament.’ Starting in the Garden of Eden, and working its way through the patriarchs and the prophets, and the kings of Israel- the ultimate message is: The Messiah, Christ, is coming. In the New Testament, we're introduced to Jesus, not as a promise or a prophecy, but rather as a reality. (The full transcript is available in the "Download Document" button above.)

What are the things He did that were important? What was His character, His person, and His nature really like? How did He talk and act?

Jesus' Statements on the Cross

May 19, 2022 • The Gospel of Christ

The cross of Christ is the single most important event in all of human history. But what Jesus said while He was up on the cross, those are some of the greatest statements that have ever been made. We're going to be thinking about those in the scripture today. We're going to be studying about the seven statements of Jesus on the cross. And so, I want to encourage you to find your Bible and have it read as we're going to look at some very powerful statements of Jesus that He made in the midst of great anguish and suffering. As we introduce this idea, I want you to understand that these statements must have been very important- for it would've been very difficult for Jesus to say much on the cross because of what He had suffered. Think about the beatings leading up to this. Jesus was slapped in the Praetorium. Jesus had a crown of thorns placed on His head. He was flogged with a cat of nine tails, beaten over and over again. A purple robe was placed on Him, and His hands and His feet were nailed to a wooden cross. He hung there in agony. For every breath, Jesus would have to put pressure on the nails in His ankles to exhale. He had to put pressure on the nails in His hands.
