The Lord your God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee of your brothers like unto me unto him you shall hearken according to all that you desired of the Lord your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly saying, let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God neither let me see this great fire anymore that I die not. [00:01:50]

The rabbis and the Jews accept that as a Prophecy of the Messiah in fact the rabbis today say that the reason why they reject the claim of Jesus as being the Messiah is because Jesus claimed to be the son of God and they said Moses said it would be a man like unto himself and thus because Jesus claimed to be the Son of God they reject his claim as being the Messiah. [00:06:11]

He said I will declare the decree of the Lord, the Lord has said unto me, Thou Art my son this day have I begotten thee. This is equivalent to Jesus saying to Nicodemus, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him would not perish but have everlasting life. [00:07:14]

Paul writing to Timothy said great is the mystery of godliness for God was manifested in the flesh so Jesus is both God and man, fully God fully man, great is the mystery of godliness God was manifested in the flesh, in the beginning, John tells us was the word, the word was with God, and the Word was God. [00:10:11]

Listen to what Jesus said, my Doctrine is not mine, but him who sent me, when you have lifted up the son of man then you will know that I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the father hath taught me I speak those things, again, but now you seek to kill me a man that has told you the truth which I have heard of God. [00:11:54]

Jesus was declaring to them that he was the prophet that God had promised through Moses that he was speaking to them God's word, he became God's spokesman to man in these last days, Jesus made this claim you cannot deny that, if Jesus was not the promised prophet the promised Messiah, he cannot be considered just a good man. [00:13:28]

If he is not the Son of God those are fraudulent claims, those are lies, and how could you hold up a fraud and a liar to be a great example, a brilliant philosopher, no he was one of the other, he was either a fake and a fraud or he was indeed the promised Prophet that God promised through Moses he was indeed the Son of God the Messiah the savior of the world. [00:15:23]

What do you think of Christ, whose son is he, a very probing question I'd like to ask you that question this morning what do you think of Christ, whose son is he, multiple choice, he was either the son of God, or the son of some Rogue, in Nazareth, whose son is he, throughout his lifetime he claimed to be the son of God. [00:16:51]

God who at different times and in various ways spoke to the fathers has in these last days spoken unto us by his own son, whom he has appointed as the heir of all things and it was by him that he made the universe, the son is the brightness of his glory an exact image of his being he sustains All Things by his powerful word. [00:18:13]

The Bible tells us that one day we will all stand before the Judgment seat of Christ to be judged, you're going to have to answer to God concerning your relationship with Jesus Christ, Jesus said when the Holy Spirit comes he's going to testify of sin, of righteousness and of judgment, of sin because they didn't believe in me. [00:22:32]

The issue will be whether or not you believed that Jesus Christ was the son of God and you obeyed or hearkened to his word that's the issue, and that's what you will answer for, because you see Christ died for the sins of the world, they are all taken care of through the death of Christ, there is only one issue that you'll have to respond to. [00:23:14]

If the word that was spoken by Moses was steadfast and every transgression and Disobedience received a just recompense of reward, how will you escape if you neglect the great salvation that has been offered to you through Jesus Christ, the answer is there will be no Escape only that fearful certain looking forward to the Judgment of God.
