Sermons on Jesus (Page 2)
The Deity of Christ (John 10:30-33)
In this passage Jesus declares that He is one with the Father. In case there is any doubt as to what He meant by this we can look at the reaction of the people present at the time. They clearly understood that Jesus was declaring Himself to be God. In His declaration, Jesus: Affirms the Trinity Jesus does not say that He is the same as the Father but that He is one with the Father. This opposes the false…
The Infinite Power of Christ (John 10:17-18)
Jesus now explains that He has the authority to do all these things because of the love the Father has towards Him and the power that He has bestowed upon Him. Jesus has power to lay down His life and power to take it again. This is a power that is beyond our wildest imagination or dreams. This is an infinite power that we cannot even comprehend. Jesus has infinite power Jesus has all authority and power in heaven and…
The Only Way (John 10:6-9)
The people do not understand Jesus’ teaching about robbers. Jesus now continues to instruct the man who was blind and those present about false teachers and the only way to be right with God. Jesus is the Door The man who was blind has been rejected by his community, his synagogue, and his religion. Most people in his position would consider themselves lost and rejected by God. However, Jesus is very clear that He alone is the door. Pastors, popes,…
The Great I Am (John 8:48-59)
The Jews cannot refute what Jesus has said, so they now resort to name calling. The say that He is a Samaritan and demon-possessed. Jesus is only concerned with God’s glory and man’s good Jesus is not concerned with the opinion of the crowds. He is only concerned with God’s glory, and He is only concerned with God’s judgment, not man’s. He is telling them the truth so that they might have eternal life. Even though they continue to slander…
The Savior is No Longer Waiting (John 8:21)
Jesus has been having a back and forth discussion with the Pharisees. He now says some very sobering words. Jesus is going We so often envision a Savior Who patiently waits for us to decide to follow Him. Jesus here declares things to be the exact opposite of what we expect. Jesus is not waiting for them; He is going His way. Jesus is leaving them behind. Their window of opportunity has passed. The ship is setting sail without them…
The Light of the World (John 8:12)
Jesus has just allowed the adulterous woman to go free. She acknowledged her guilt by staying at His feet, and He has told her to go and sin no more. Jesus now addresses the crowd that has witnessed this event. Jesus is the light of the world Jesus is emphatic that the woman was delivered from death because of Who He is. There is no focus on the woman or what she has done. Salvation is only in Who Jesus…
Do You Really Know the Truth? (John 7:40-53)
After Jesus’ teachings during the Feast of Tabernacles, there is much debate about who Jesus is. Many people believe that He is the Messiah. Others contend that He is not the Messiah, but a false teacher who is deceiving the people. The Pharisees even send soldiers to arrest Jesus, but they return empty handed. When the Pharisees ask the soldiers why they did not arrest Jesus they reply that they had never heard anyone teach like He taught. The Pharisees…
The Thirst of the Soul (John 7:37-39)
Every day during the Feast of Tabernacles water was poured out in the Temple. Although we are not certain as to why this took place, it is surmised that the water was poured out as an offering to the Lord at the beginning of the rainy season as a prayer that the Lord would pour out rain on their dry lands. All men are thirsty We have been created for God, and as such our souls are thirsty and can…
Jesus’ Resurrection
We know the importance of Jesus’ death on the cross, but the whole of the Christian faith hinges on His resurrection from the dead. In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and…
Jesus’ Death
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from…
Do You Know God? (John 7:25-29)
The longer Jesus talks, the more the Jews dislike Him. He is continually pointing out that they are not right with God, and that He is the only way for them to be right with the Father. The Jews are surprised at Jesus’ boldness The Jews want to kill Jesus, and Jesus knows this. However, Jesus continues to boldly speak the truth. This amazes the Jews. People who are walking in the light have no problem speaking the truth openly.…
