5. What did JESUS say about Himself ? His teaching centered on himself: “ I AM … . .” - “ the Bread of Life” (Jn. 6:35) - “ the Light of the world” (Jn. 8:12) - “ the Resurrection & the Life” (Jn. 11:25-26) - “ the Way the Truth & the Life” (Jn. 14:6)
6. Jesus affirmatively says: - “My Kingdom” (Lk. 22:30) - “Come to Me” (Mt. 11:28-29) - “Follow Me” (Mk. 1:17) - “Receive Me – Receive God” (Mt. 10:40) - “Welcome Me – Welcome God” (Mk. 9:37) - “To have seen Me is to have seen God” (Jn. 14:9)
7. What did He said He can do? To forgive our sins. (Mk. 2:5) To judge the world. (Mt. 25:31-32) Who He claims He is? Messiah/Son of Man (Mk. 14:61-64 & Dan. 7:13-14) Son of God (Mk. 14:61) God, the Son Jn. 8:58, Jn. 10:33, Jn. 20:28-29
8. What evidence is there to support what He said ? Could Jesus have been the greatest liar ever ? Or was He perhaps a madman ? What evidence do we have that He could neither be a liar or a lunatic?
9. His teaching: Sermon on the Mount (Mt. 5-7) His works: Healing, deliverance and raising of the dead (Jn. 10:37-38)
10. His character: Selflessness, humble, kind & loving His fulfilment of the Old Testament prophecy: His birthplace (Micah 5:2) His suffering at the Cross (Ps. 22) His sacrificial death for our sins (Isaiah 53)
12. His quest for Death ( Resurrection ): Evidence of Jesus’ Resurrection: His absence from the tomb (Jn. 20:8) His presence with the disciples (Lk. 24:42-43)
13. Immediate effect on disciples. Birth and growth of the Christian Church 2000 years later nearly a third of the world’s population know Jesus as… their friend , Saviour and Lord!
