What Christ Is To Us

Intro.

1. Jesus has always been many things to people (misguided Rabbi; social revolutionary, great moral teacher, Messiah, Son of God…), Matt. 16:13-16.

2. Matt. 22:41-46: “What do you think about the Christ?” deserves more than a casual, customary or traditional response.

a. We must know the object of our faith, 2 Tim. 1:12; Jno. 14:7-11.

b. Whether or not Jesus is the object of your faith affects your eternal judgment, 2 Ths. 1:8-9.

3. Christians know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God with whom we are united, Jno. 17:21; Rom. 6:5; Gal. 2:20; 4:19.

I. OUR SAVIOR, Lk. 2:11 (Acts 4:12).

A. Came to Save the Lost, Lk. 19:10.

1. Lost in sin, Matt. 1:21. (Sin destroys happiness, safety & the soul; cf. Eden.)

2. Savior of the world, Jno. 4:42 (Rom. 3:23).

3. Salvation from God’s just wrath against sin, Rom. 5:9.

A. A Ruler: He Exercises Dominion, Matt. 22:42-45 (Psa. 110:1); 28:18 (Eph. 1:21-23).

1. He has a will we are to understand and obey, Eph. 5:17.

2. His will is not hidden; it is revealed, Jno. 12:48.

3. Our submission to his will is mandatory, Phil. 2:10-11.

B. A Master: We are in His Service, Matt. 23:10-12.

1. The nature of our service to the Master, Eph. 6:5-8:

a. Reverent, obedient, singular devotion, from the heart, with goodwill.

b. Just as the Lord rewards the faithful servants of men, He will reward his faithful servants (Matt. 24:45-47).

2. Christians humbly & faithfully serve Jesus as their Ruler and Master (Lk. 17:5-10).

III. OUR MODEL, 1 Pet. 2:21.

-Think, speak, behave, love, serve, give – Live as he lived.

V. OUR LOVE, Jno. 14:15.

A. Our Actions will Define our Love, Jno. 14:19-24.

2. Obedience is not “legalism” – It is our expression of love for God!

3. Love put into action assures our hearts, 1 Jno. 3:16-19.

VI. OUR PEACE, Jno. 16:33. [Prince of peace]

A. Jesus is our Peace with God and Man, Eph. 2:13-18.
