Who Is the Christ? Resurrection Proves His Lordship

And he makes this beautiful, bold statement at the end. It's just so important for the church today. He says, the church built on Christ alone and hell cannot even stand against it. Some of you are you have to stir and paddle your focus. Your life on that on the stream, whatever it is. Towards Jesus because if you don't, it's pulling you back towards yourself and this thought that that hell can defeat you. Hell can the have dominion of you and listen, all of that has changed because of what we get in the gospel at the end of this and we'll talk about it but hell cannot keep or stop the power of Christ working through his church.

I don't know what to share. Then, you just share. I know that this Jesus loves you so much because he loves me and I'm I'm unlovable. He died for me. But he didn't stay dead and if I believe that, he can give me new life. If I repent of my sins, he can give me beautiful new life, transformation in my heart. So, I ask you this morning, will you pray with me? Will you think deeply about the Christ? You may not get another time. [00:46:06] (37 seconds)  #ShareJesusLoveNow

I wonder if you just wanted to hint and go, then stay around for a couple more days. Do you want to know how we can fully call god Jesus fully god? Because he was a real guy who was crucified buried in a tomb, and he didn't stay dead. Amen. And you had to do something with that It has to, it's either, that's either the lie or it's crazy talk or that's the like he's lord and and that's what Paul said, I I ain't saying it's a lie and I am not saying he crazy. I am saying that he is lord. [00:38:04] (49 seconds)  #JesusCrucifiedAndRisen

one of the biggest misunderstandings of just Jesus is is watering him down in some religious way where he's just merely religious like if if you're a mainstream prophet or or mainstream religion today, then then everyone of em in some shape, form, fashion, aren't saying anything negative about Jesus. They're going, he's a good teacher or he's a prophet. We like him. We like Jesus but in none of those other mainstream religions is Jesus king of kings and lord of lords and so it's a very dear and and deep and dire question to for us to even answer today. Well, who is Jesus? [00:17:04] (36 seconds)  #WhoIsJesusReally

So, again, on the front end, I want you to see the urgency. You are not promised the next hour or the next day. You are promised infinite amount of time to answer these questions because these questions are same post to us. You have to answer. You have to reconcile. You have to do something with Jesus. I just told you for for the mainstream religions, do something with Jesus. At least they're honest. They do something with Jesus. You cannot play a game where you just kind of put Jesus in your pocket and he's he's the guy I call when I get in trouble. He, you know, he's my insurance policy. He's my insurance man, right? That is not what Jesus has laid out in the scriptures for us to use. [00:32:03] (49 seconds)  #DecideAboutJesusNow

And the holy spirit confirms it to our hearts over and over and over. When I tell you to stir your heart towards Jesus, I'm telling you, look at the resurrection. I'm telling you to remember, you can't do that. You can do a lot of works. You can roll your your your sleeves up in here. You can you can do this and you can do that and you can you can serve and you can give money and you can be vocal out there. You can do all these things but you can't raise nobody from the dead and you can't raise yourself from the dead. And that's why we need to think deeply about the Christ because he can and he can take a dead, mean, old, angry Saul and resurrect him from the dead.

We cannot be passive. You cannot be passive when it comes to Jesus. You can't join mainstream crowd and go, well, he's a good guy. I like him and we're going to get a book on Easter from Philip and we're going to celebrate. We'll probably take a picture somewhere and and we're to put on our Easter pastel colors and and we're to woo hoo. Go hunt some eggs. [00:40:30] (20 seconds)  #DontBePassiveAboutJesus

You cannot come to the table and go, you know, he's just my genie. He's just my Santa Claus. He's just, if I need him, he is none of those things. If we go back to the CS Lewis quote, he's lord. Or he could be crazy or he can be a liar but he can't be what you made up just now. You made that. Mainstream world, our culture makes that. And so, I hope this question is on the forefront of you. Who is Jesus to you? Because you can't get any further into this point. This this point is not going make any sense. It's going offend you. Well, why didn't he answer it? He did. My gosh, the gospel's coming. He's going to answer all that beautifully [00:32:52] (45 seconds)  #JesusIsNotYourGenie
