This presentation presents a framework to answer the question - Who is Jesus? There are only 4 possibilities - legend, liar, lunatic or Lord. Anything else would be a gross understatement, considering the claims and credentials of Jesus

My friend Ian explained that people expect a Christmas message this year and he didn't want to disappoint them. I thought "Yes! I want to give people a reason to sing at this time of year"
CLAIM OF JESUS SON OF MARY WITH REFERENCE TO THE HOLY QUR'AN AND THE HOLY BIBLE
INTRODUCTION
What was the real claim of the prophet Jesus and what is the reality of his claims according to the Holy Quran and the Bible? It will be easier to judge and understand the claim, if, in the first instant, the personality of the claimant can be highlighted. It is for this reason that the first three chapters are devoted to describe his life in detail.
To find the reality of his ancestry, a brief account has been taken of the family tree mentioned in the Bible as well as in the Holy Quran. The New Testament, while on the one hand accepts his birth without a father, and on the other hand tries to prove him as a descendant of David. The Holy Quran does not suffer from any duality by declaring him to be progeny of Imran (Aal-e-Imran). While contradiction exists in the Bible in this respect, The Holy Quran declares his mother to be a member from the family of Imran. This claim is supported by the New Testament; and seems to be logical that Jesus should also be associated with the family of Imran through his mother. The commentators of the Bible also accept this preposition. The glad tiding of the birth of Jesus, also has a resemblance with John, as it is stated:
“And Zachari’ah was troubled when he saw him and fear fell upon him. But the angel said to him, ‘Do not be afraid Zachari’ah, for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son and you shall call his name John. And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice his birth; for he will be great before the Lord, and he shall drink no wine or strong drink. And he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.” (Lk 1: 12-15)
Similarly, the birth of Jesus without father is not such an extraordinary phenomenon to bestow greatness on him and make him a partner in the divinity of God. Encyclopaedia Britannica sites many examples of fatherless births. In this respect, the Holy Quran gives resemblance of the birth of Jesus with Adam. The Promised Messiah holds such birth of Jesus as retribution to Bani Israel and a sign of transference of the prophethood from Bani Israel to Banu Ismael. This seems to be the correct inference if we look at the Divine manifestation in respect of this subject. According to the prophecy of Moses, after Jesus, ‘That Great Prophet’ appeared in Banu Ismael about whom, it was prophesised:
“The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brethren – him you shall heed -.” (Deut 18: 15)
Jesus, himself, had already warned Bani Israel and told them
“Therefore, I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it.” (Mt 21:43)
It is important to know where and when Jesus was born. The Christian world accepts his birth on 25th December in the winter season. The Holy Quran rejects this claim and many references in the

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

5. The shepherds came. The wise men
too. They were invited to
"Come and adore Him"
We weren't in Bethlehem. We didn't
hear the Angels sing....Yet the
invitation to
“Come and adore Him"
is ours as well.
6. In a cave, in the
town of
Bethlehem, Jesus
was born. He left
glory and majesty
to enter the body of
a tiny baby.
7. The story of Christ's birth shared
by Luke is true. Mary believed it
would happen. The shepherds
believed and left their flocks to
"Come and
Adore"
13. As Christmas
approaches, many will be
remembering the story of
the Christ.....The Savior
of the world and all
human kind.
14. Gordon B. Hinckley asked
us "Do you really believe
it? Do you actually believe
that Jesus was the Son of
God....the literal offspring of
the Father?"
15. He continued by saying....."Do you
Believe that following his death on
Calvary's hill and burial in Joseph's
tomb, he came forth on the 3rd
day? Do you actually believe that he
yet lives...real, vital and personal.
And that he will come again as
promised by the angels at his
ascension?"
16. "Believe in Jesus
Christ, the son of
God, the greatest
figure of time and
eternity."
Gordon B. Hinckley
