2. Jesus Christ
Introduction:
“Jesus” is Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word meaning Savior (Mt. 1:21). “Christ” is the Greek
equivalent of the Hebrew word Messiah, meaning anointed, and refers to Jesus as the messiah promised
in O.T. Scripture (Dan. 9:25-26; Jn. 1:14; 4:25; Ac. 2:36). While Jesus refers particularly to the Lord’s
humanity and incarnation by which he became a man to die for our sins, Christ refers particularly to the
Lord’s eternal deity as the Son of God.

3. THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF CHRIST:
 THE FACT OF THE VIRGIN BIRTH:
The Bible plainly says Jesus Christ was born of a virgin. This was the promise of O.T.
Scripture (Isa. 7:14) and is the record of the N.T. Scripture (Mt. 1:18-25; Lk. 1:26-38).
The O.T. prophecies are very precise in telling us that the Christ that was born of a
virgin is the eternal Son of God. Micah 5:2 says the one born in Bethlehem’s manger has
been going forth “from everlasting.” In Isa. 9:6 we are told that a child was born and a son
was given.
The exact wording is crucial. Christ’s virgin birth (‘a child was born’) denoted the
beginning of His incarnation as God made flesh, but as the eternal Son (‘a son was given’),
He had no beginning. In Isa. 7;14 we are told that the virgin born One is “God with us.”
 THE HEBREW WORD FOR THE VIRGIN BIRTH.
The Hebrew word translated “virgin” in Isa. 7;14 is Almah. It is used nine times in
the Bible: Gen. 24:43; Exo. 2:8; Ps. 68:25; Pro. 30:19; Song 1:3; 6:8; Isa. 7:14.
Almah is translated “maid” in Exo. 2:8 and “damsels” in Ps. 68:25. Though many
commentators contend that the word can refer to a woman who is not strictly a virgin, it is not
certain that it is ever so used in Scripture.
Gen. 24:43 refers to Rebekah before she became Isaac’s bride. She obviously was a
virgin in the strictest sense of the word. Exo. 2:8 refers to Moses’ sister when she was a girl
living at home.
Again this is a clear reference to a virgin. Ps. 68:25 and Song 1:3 and 6:8 are not as
clear as far as what kind of girls are in view, but there is absolutely no indication in the
contexts that these are not virgins. To say that they are not strictly virgins is mere speculation.
The reference in Isa. 7:14 without question speaks of a virgin, because it was fulfilled
in the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus.
The N.T. plainly tells us that though she was espoused to Joseph, she conceived the
Lord Jesus Christ “before they came together” (Mt. 1:18).
The Holy Spirit quotes Isaiah and applies it directly to the Lord Jesus Christ. Any
“theologian” who questions this application or the Authorized Version’s translation of Isaiah
7;14 is denying the testimony of God.
THE PURPOSE OF THE VIRGIN BIRTH:
1. Christ Became A Man So He Could Make Atonement For Man’s Sin
(Mk. 10:45; Rom. 5:12, 18-21; 2 Cor. 5:1, 1 Tim. 2:5-6;
. 2:9,17; 10:4-12; 1 Jn. 3:5).
2. Christ Became A Man To Inherit The Davidic Covenant
(Isa. 9:6-7; Lk. 1:31-33; Acts 2:29-30).
3. To Be An Example To The Saints
(1 Pet. 2:21; 1 Jn. 2:6).
4. To Be Our High Priest
(Heb. 2:14; 1 Jn. 3:1).
5. To Destroy The Works Of The Devil
(Heb. 2:17; 1 Jn. 3:8).
6. To Fulfill All The Promises And Prophecies Of Scripture
(Lk. 1:69-70).

4. The Deity of Christ
THE FACT THAT JESUS CHRIST IS FULLY GOD IS PROVEN BY
THE FOLLOWING BIBLE PASSAGES:
1. Everything said about God in the O.T. is also said about Jesus Christ in the N.T.
2. The O.T. prophets foretold the Messiah would be God
(Isa. 7:14 and Mt. 1:23; Isa. 96:6; Jer. 23:5-6).
3. Christ was proclaimed to be God at His Birth
(Mt. 1:23; Lk. 1:17,32,76; 2:11).
4. Jesus claimed to be God, and He accepted worship from men
(Mt. 2:11; Jn. 10:30-33; 5:18,23; 8:56-59; 9:38; 20:28).
5. The N.T. writers said Jesus Christ is God
(Jn. 1:1; Acts 20;28; 10:36; Phil. 2:6; Col. 1:15; 2:9;
1 Tim. 3:16; 6:14-16; Heb. 1:3; Tit. 2:13; 1 Jn. 3:16).
6. Every man and Angel will worship Jesus Christ.
(Phil. 2:9-11; Heb. 1:8-9). If Jesus were not God He could not receive worship
(Exo. 20:3-5).
7. He is called “Lord” 663 times in the N.T.
“The Greek word KURIOS is the equivalent of the Hebrew ADONAI and is so used by
Jesus in Mt. 22:43-45. The great use of kurios is as the divine title of Jesus, the Christ. In
this sense it occurs in the N.T. 663 times.
That the intent is to identify Jesus Christ with the O.T.
Deity is evident from Mt. 3:3; 12:8; 21:9
(Ps. 118:26; 22:43-45; Lk. 1:43; Jn. 8:58; 14:8-10; 20:28; Acts 9;5; 13:33 9ps. 2)”.
“All divine names and titles are applied to Him. He is called God, the mighty God, the great
God, God over all; Jehovah; Lord; the Lord of lords and King of kings.
All divine attributes are ascribed to Him. He is declared to be omnipresent, omniscient,
almighty, and immutable, the same yesterday, today, and forever.
He is set forth as the creator and upholder and ruler of the universe. All things were created
by Him and for Him; and by Him all things consist.
He is the object of worship to all intelligent creatures, even the highest; all the angels are
commanded to prostrate themselves before Him.
He is the object of all the religious sentiments; of reverence, love, faith, and devotion. To
Him men and angels are responsible for their character and conduct.
He required that men should honor Him as they honored the Father; that they do in God. He
declares that He and the Father are one, that those who had seen Him had seen the Father also.
He calls all men unto him; promises to forgive their sins; to send them the Holy Spirit; to give
them rest and peace; to raise them up at the last day; and to give them eternal life. God is not
more, and cannot promise more, or do more than Christ is said to be, to promise, and to do.
He has, therefore, been the Christian’s God from the beginning, in all ages and in all places”

6. THE NAMES AND OFFICES OF CHRIST
JESUS.
“In the gospel records He is called ‘Jesus,’ His personal name by birth into the world (Mt.
1:21; Lk. 1:31). Its basic meaning is ‘Savior—salvation’ (He saves, delivers, makes free, makes
safe). It also speaks of reproach, suffering, and shame (Acts 5:40,41) It is the N.T. equivalent of
‘Joshua.’
This precious name occurs nearly 700 times in the N.T.; over 60 times in the gospels
alone. We account for the infrequent use of this peerless name in the Epistles due to the new
position of Jesus as risen and exalted. ‘Christ Jesus’ or ‘Jesus Christ’ is the name used in the
Epistles for this new position of exaltation and glorification.
These titles are used upwards of 200 times. ‘Jesus’ alone is used about 40 times in the
Epistles”.
CHRIST.
“This is the Greek word for the Hebrew ‘Messiah,’ meaning ‘anointed.’ This title occurs
about 50 times in the gospels as compared to about 300 times in the Epistles. ‘Christ’ is an official
designation, or title, and is usually written with the article prefixed as ‘the Christ.’
When Jesus said to His disciples, ‘whom say ye that I am?’ Peter replied, ‘Thou art THE
CHRIST, the Son of the living God’ (Mt. 16,16)”.
JESUS CHRIST
“This double title appears but five or six times in the gospels, but is frequently used by
Paul, Peter, and John in their Letters.
The lowly humbled Man on the earth, Jesus, is now the exalted and glorified man in the
heavens, Christ. What He was as ‘Jesus,’ and what he is as ‘Christ combined, give the force of
this title.
The sufferings of earth and the glories of heaven are thus wondrously linked in the divine
order of the names ‘Jesus Christ’.
CHRIST JESUS
’Jesus Christ’ is a title common enough in all the Epistles, but ‘Christ Jesus’ is almost
wholly confined to Paul. The Apostles and writers of the N.T. were converted when Jesus was
on earth; all but Paul, whose first acquaintance with the Savior was made with Christ in the glory
(Acts 9:3-6), hence they and he speak of Jesus as they knew Him.
In this way we account for the rare occurrence of Paul’s favorite title, ‘Christ Jesus.’ Peter,
John, and others first knowing Jesus on earth, speak and write of Him as ‘Jesus Christ,’ while
Paul, first knowing Jesus in glory, uses the expressive title ‘Christ Jesus.’
This title is not found in any of the gospel accounts”.
LORD JESUS CHRIST
“This is the full written title of our blessed Savior, connecting His authority (Lord) with
His manhood (Jesus) and glory (Christ). Thus His power is indissolubly linked with His humanity
and present exaltation (Mt. 28:18)”.
SON OF GOD
The Son of God is the title describing the eternal Sonship and Deity of Jesus Christ. He
is GOD, the Second Person of the Trinity.

7. SON OF MAN
“Ezekiel and Daniel, prophets of the captivity [who[] found their sphere of ministry
outside Israel, used this tile, ‘Son of Man.’ Christ, who came to His own and was rejected by
them, found Himself outside, and applies this title ‘Son of Man’ to Himself. By His use of it, He
oversteps the narrow and circumscribed limits of Judaism, and instead of a glory filling
Immanuel’s land merely, the sense widens, for the dominion of the ‘Son of Man’ embraced the
heavens and earth, and instead of a glory skirting the coasts of Judea, the whole earth becomes
lightened with His glory under this name and character.
Universal dominion and absolute sovereignty are glories resting upon this exceedingly
interesting title, one in which every human being is concerned, for universal judgment and
authority to exercise that judgment are referred to the ‘Son of Man’ (Jn. 12:23-48; Acts 17;31).
As ‘Son of Man’ He comes in glory to Israel (Mt. 24:30), and to the Gentiles or living nations on
the earth whom He gathers before His throne of glory (Mt. 25:31,32); then He will bring in
universal blessing and righteous rule (Mt. 13:41-43).
It is interesting to note that while the title ‘Son of Man’ occurs in the gospels about 80
times, it is only directly applied by the Lord to Himself; it is not once (in the gospels) applied by
others to Him. It is used by Stephen upon his death (Acts 7;56), and by John in Revelation (Rev.
1:3; 14:14). It is possible that occasionally the title stresses Jesus’ humility, but the widespread
teaching that ‘Son of Man’ expresses His humanity just as ‘Son of God’ expresses His deity, is
misleading. See Lk. 22:69:70”.
SON OF DAVID
“This title is found in the synoptical gospels 14 times (8 in Matt. 3 in Mk. 3 in Luke, and
none in John). This title is more confined in its application than the broader and more
comprehensive one, ‘Son of Man.’ The former has Judea in its range and the Jews as its subjects
of blessing; while the latter has earth as its sphere and mankind in general as the subject of its
exercise”.

8. The Miracles of Christ
THE EXTENT OF HIS MIRACLES:
1. Over nature
(Mt. 8:26-27; 14:25).
2. Over devils
(Mk. 5:12-13; Mt. 8:28-32).
3. Over disease
(Mt. 8:3; 12:10-13).
4. Over death
(Jn. 11:44; Mt. 9:23-25; Lk. 7:12-15).
THE CHARACTERISTICS OF HIS MIRACLES:
1. He never failed
(Mt. 4:23-25).
2. His miracles were immediate
(Mt. 8:3; 20:34).
3. His miracles were lasting
(Lk. 8:38-39).
4. His miracles extended to every realm of nature
(Mt. 8:26-27).

(Jn. 10:24-25).
2. They were done so people could believe in Him
(Jn. 20:30-31)
3. They showed that God had sent Him
(Jn. 5:36).
4. They proved His deity
(Jn. 14:8-11).

9. The Resurrection of Christ
THE EVIDENCE OF THE RESURRECTION (Acts 1:3):
1. The empty tomb
(Mt. 28:6; Lk. 24:3).
2. The testimony of the angels
(Mt. 28:5-6; Lk. 24:5-7).
3. The testimony of the disciples
(1 Cor. 15:6; Mt. 28:16-17; Lk. 24; Jn. 20-21).
4. Paul’s testimony
(Acts 9:5; 22:6-8; 1 Cor. 15:8).
FALSE EXPLANATION OF THE RESURRECTION:
1. The fraud theory. Some say the whole story is a hoax, but history and the Scriptures deny
such an idea. If the disciples were lying about Jesus’ resurrection, why did they willingly
suffer and die for Christ’s name?
2. The swoon theory. Some say Jesus only fainted and then revived in the cool of the tomb.
They Bible plainly says, though, that Jesus died (1 Cor. 15:3). The soldiers who were sent to
kill Jesus and the other men on the crosses testified that Jesus was dead (Jn. 19:31-34). The
idea that a man could revive on his own and walk out of a cross would be more difficult to
believe than the resurrection!
3. The hallucination theory6. Some say that Jesus’ disciples only thought they saw Jesus after
His death. The Bible account, though, says the disciples did not believe at first even after
Jesus appeared to them (Lk. 24:25). Jesus was seen by more than 500 people at one time
after His resurrection; 500 people do not have the same identical hallucination!
4. The ghost theory. Some say plainly that Jesus had a body after His resurrection
(Lk. 24:39-43).
HIS RESURRECTION BODY:
1. It had flesh and bones
(Lk. 24:39).
2. It was a glorious body
(Phil. 3:21).
3. It was an immortal body
(Rom. 6:9).
4. It was a spiritual body
(1 Cor. 15:44).
Jesus’ resurrection body is supernatural and not subject to the weaknesses and limitations of
an earthly body.

10. THE MEANS OF JESUS’ RESURRECTION:
1. He rose by the power of the Father
(Acts 2:24-25; 3:15; 5:30)
2. He rose by His own power
(Jn. 2:19; 10:18).
3. He rose by the power of the Holy Spirit
(1 Pet. 3:18).
THE RESULTS OF JESUS’ RESURRECTION:
1. It proves the existence of God. Jesus rose from the dead because God resurrected Him.
2. It proves the deity of Christ
(Rom. 1:4).
3. It means that salvation has been purchased
(Rom. 4:25).
4. It guarantees that all men will be resurrected
(1 Cor. 15:20-24).
The saved will be resurrected to eternal glory; the lost, to eternal shame
(Dan. 12:2; Jn. 5:28-29; Rev. 20.
5. It confirms everything Christ taught.
The Lord Jesus promised that He would rise from the dead the third day (Jn. 2:18-21).
He did rise from the dead according to His own word; therefore, we can be certain that every
other teaching of Christ is true.
6. Its power is available to the Christian in his daily life
(Rom. 6-8; Phil. 3:10; Eph. 1:19-23).
7. It is the Christian’s promise of eternal victory over sin and death
(1 Cor. 15:47-58).
