 Who is Jesus? I want to speak to you today about this person named Jesus. We are around the Christmas holiday, but I understand that this video will be rewatched after holidays, way past Christmas, and I want to talk to you about this person named Jesus. We as Christians, we worship Jesus, we believe in Jesus, and Jesus is our God. Jesus is the meeting place of eternity and time. He is the blending of deity and humanity, the conjunction of heaven and earth. Jesus Christ is the most important person. His birth split the history. We see before Christ and then after Christ and Latin for after Christ. The whole history is split for him. There has been nobody like him, there will be nobody after him. He is the only one, he is unique, he is amazing, and we celebrate his birth. Unlike any birth, you know, we can celebrate our birth, and that's good, but we celebrate his birth because when he came to this earth, that's the greatest event this earth has ever experienced. The greatest event is not when man landed on the moon. The greatest event is when God came on earth. When he was born, took on the humanity, he walked among us, and he came to this earth for few reasons. He came to this earth number one to save sinners in 1 Timothy chapter 1 verse 15. He came to this earth to do the will of his father, John chapter 6 verse 38. He came to this earth to bring light to the dark world, John 12 verse 46. He came to this world to bear witness of the truth, John 18.37. He came to this world to destroy the devil and his works. Come on somebody, 1 John chapter 3 verse 8. That's one of my favorite things. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. See, the devil has come to destroy the work of God. He came to destroy your health, he came to destroy your mind, he came to destroy your relationships, but Jesus Christ has come to destroy the destroyer. He came to destroy the works of the devil. Jesus also has come to give us eternal life, John chapter 6 verse 51. Jesus has come to bring great joy, Luke chapter 2 verse 10. He has come to preach the gospel, the good news, Luke chapter 4 verses 18 and verse 19. He has come to bring judgment according to John chapter 9 verse 39 all the way to verse 41. He has come to give his life as a ransom for many according to Mark chapter 10 verse 45. He has come to fulfill the law and the prophets, Matthew chapter 5 verse 17. He has come to reveal God's love for the sinners. John chapter 3 verse 16. He has come to call the sinners to repentance. Mark chapter 2 verse 17, Luke chapter 19 verse 5 and Luke chapter 19 verses 9 until 10. And he has come to serve. Mark chapter 10 verse 45. He has come to reign as a king. Isaiah chapter 9 verse 6 and 7. Now, we're going to drop that in the chat right now of why he has come. This is not a full list of all the times in the Bible that mentions why he came, but ultimately he came to die for our sins. He came to take our place and we're going to look at who Jesus is today. The first thing I want to highlight today is this, is that Jesus is the Messiah. If you're taking notes, this is more of a teaching than just preaching. Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus is God. Jesus is fully God and fully man. Let's read the verse in Luke chapter 2 verse 11. It says the following, For there is born to you this day in the city of David, a Savior who is Christ the Lord. Before Jesus came, there has never been like someone like the Lord. Because his birth didn't just happen. He came and prior to his coming there were prophetic words released by the prophets, as well as God himself directly speaking to Eve 4,000 years before his coming and saying there will be a seed of the woman that will crush the snake. In Genesis 3.15. Then God says to Abraham that in your seed all the nations of the world will be blessed. Genesis 22.18. Then he says the same promise to Isaac. In your seed all the world will be blessed. Genesis 26. Then he says the same thing to Jacob. In your seed all the nations will be blessed. Then Moses says there will be a prophet like me that will come. And he is referring to this man, to this Messiah named Jesus. He was just like Moses in regards to he was a law giver, Moses was a law giver, Jesus was a law giver. Moses started an old covenant, Jesus started a new covenant. Moses escaped death as a baby, Jesus escaped death as a baby. Moses had a connection to Egypt, Jesus had a connection to Egypt. Moses was known for his meekness and Jesus was known for his meekness. Both Moses and Jesus led God's people out of captivity. Both Moses and Jesus performed miracles. Both Moses and Jesus had intimate relationship and conversations with God. Both Moses and Jesus interceded for God's people. And both Moses and Jesus were willing to die for God's people. The difference with Jesus is he actually died for God's people. Whereas Moses simply said, blood out my name from the book of life. I would rather die, but Jesus actually died for God's people. So in the Old Testament we see these shadows of this coming Jesus, prophet like Moses. That he will come from the tribe of Judah. That he will come from the family of Jesse. That he will come from the house of David. That a star will be in Israel. And then we see the wise men, they follow that star. That Jesus will be born in Bethlehem for 700 BC. A prophet, Micah prophesied and said that in Bethlehem. So it pretty much narrows down from the seat of the woman. Then it goes down to the seat of Abraham. Then it goes down to the seat of Isaac, the seat of Jacob. Then it goes down to the house of Jesse. Then it goes to the house of David. Then it goes to the tribe of Judah. Then it goes into the star in Israel. And then it goes actually to Bethlehem. And Jesus becomes the fulfillment of that. And when he arrives, this wasn't just a supernatural birth. This was preceded by multiple, over 333 prophecies concerning his coming. Therefore it makes him unique and he's different. Different than any ruler, different than any being that ever walked on this earth. We know that Jesus was God. Not only we see the prophetic words spoken about him that indicate he is God with us. But God testified of Jesus at the River Jordan, at the Mount of Transfiguration. Demons spoke and said, this is the Son of God. Jesus said of himself that he is God. When he was asked, are you the Son of God? And he said, it is as you said. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of glory. And you will see him ascending. You will see him coming down with power. The Bible plainly says that Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus did the works that only God could do. Jesus received worship and forgave sins as something only God can do. Jesus was both fully God and fully man. He started his ministry hungry, yet he was the bread of life. He ended his ministry on the cross thirsty, yet he was the living water. He was weary, yet he is our rest. He paid tribute, yet he is our king. He was accused of having demons, yet he cast out demons. He wept, yet he wipes our tears away. He was sold for 30 pieces of silver, yet he redeemed the world. He was bought and proclaimed as a lamb, yet he was a good shepherd. He died, yet he destroyed death through his death. That's who Jesus is. He is the Messiah. There is nobody like him. There has been nobody like Jesus. Jesus is not only a Messiah. Secondly, Jesus is the Savior. Jesus is our Savior. In Matthew chapter 1 verse 21 it says, And she will bring forth a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. I want you to notice that Jesus will save his people from their sins. Jesus will save his people. If you are his people, he wants to save you from your sins. God would have sent us an educator if education would have been our greatest need. God would have sent us a scientist if technology would have been our greatest need. God would have sent us an economist if money would have been our greatest need. God would have sent us an entertainer if pleasure would have been our greatest need. Instead, God sent us a Savior. God sent us his son because salvation was and is our greatest need. If you are thankful for Jesus, the Messiah, Jesus the Savior, I want you to drop that fire emoji in the chat right now. Jesus, in the Old Testament, we see this picture of salvation. When Adam committed sin, we see from the beginning that God provides tunics of a skin of an animal. That tells us that the animal had to die for this tunics to be provided. And that was an example of Jesus. He died so we can have righteousness. You later on see that Noah was saved through the ark. The ark is symbol of Christ because Jesus, the cross of Jesus, is our salvation. As the ark had one window, one door, and it saved human family from the wrath of God that God poured out on this earth. Jesus Christ is the door. His word is the window. And His death is that wooden protection that saves us from the wrath of God. As you go a little bit further, you will see a beautiful example of the story of Joseph. He is such a beautiful picture of who Jesus is as the Savior. Both Joseph and Jesus were rejected by their brothers. Both Joseph and Jesus were sold for the price of a slave. Both Joseph and Jesus end up in Egypt. Both Joseph and Jesus had a Gentile bride. Joseph had a Gentile bride. She was not from Canaan. She was from Egypt. And Jesus has a bride and his bride is the church. And both Joseph and Jesus, when Joseph was in jail, there were two men there. One had a dream that was promoted and the other one had a dream and he was demoted. When Jesus was dying on the cross, he died between two criminals and one criminal went to the paradise and another criminal. Well, we know he stayed in his rebellious ways. We know that Joseph and Jesus, they opened the storehouses and provided grain. Jesus provided salvation to humanity as Joseph provided physical salvation to humanity. And we know that Joseph was at the right hand of Pharaoh. Jesus is at the right hand of God. And we know that there came a time where Joseph's brothers on the third visit, their eyes were open. And he, Joseph, revealed himself to his brothers and they wept and they embraced him. And that day is still coming where Jewish people, they will weep at him whom they wounded and whom they rejected. Their Messiah, Jesus Christ. So we see from Joseph's story. We see from the ark. We see as well from the clothing of Adam and Eve, this example and this picture of the salvation of Christ. And you can go on and I can go on talking about Joshua, how he is like Joshua. In fact, both of their names are the same. Yeshua saves how Joshua took people into the promised land and Jesus takes us into salvation. And then we can go on through all of the feasts of the Old Testament. We can go on how he's the Passover lamb. We can go on under all of these things. But pretty much what I'm trying to say is this is Jesus Christ is our Savior. We are in need of salvation. Not in therapy, nothing wrong with therapy. Not in medicine, nothing wrong with medicine. But our problem is severe. Our problem is serious. We're not just people who are making mistakes. We are people who are committing sins and these sins they cannot be dealt with. I am sorry. They had to be paid for. They had to be atoned for. They had to be dealt with. The penalty had to be paid and God chose a way for this to be taken care of. He sends his son who dies in our place, who takes on humanity being divine and who dies as we would die. He becomes sin and gives us his righteousness as gift. And we can receive that today. Maybe you're watching or re-watching this and you don't know Jesus Christ. I want to tell you this is that the heaviness of sin, the weight of sin. You're trying to change yourself on your own. You're trying to get better. Make all these New Year's resolutions and promises. Seeing a therapist go into AA meetings. All of that has its place. But your biggest need is not behavior modification. Your biggest need is not external transformation. Your biggest need is not trying to get your actions under control. Your biggest need is heart issue. You have a condition. And my friend, that condition can only be solved and changed through a heart transplant. Through a transformation from the inside. And there is a being. There is someone who is able to do that miracle. This miracle is greater than even healing of cancer. This miracle is greater than even raising of the dead. It's when God takes the stony heart of the human evil heart. And He puts the heart of flesh. And He puts the heart that is new. A heart that is awakened, quickened to God. And this miracle is called the miracle of salvation. Salvation is not just God wiping your record clean. Salvation is God taking an evil heart. And placing a new heart inside of you. You're no longer trying to please God. You're simply trusting in Him. You're no longer trying to change yourself. You surrender to Him. And He does the miracle of inner transformation. It's not external pressure of religion and rules. It's internal motivation of His presence. And of His peace. And of His purity that comes as a gift. See, every religion actually has one thing in common. Every religion makes you feel guilty. And makes you feel like you're not good enough to reach divinity. To reach the divine. To reach heaven. To reach God. And none of us are. Every religion has one thing in common. They're attempting. They're trying to reach God. Christianity is different. Because God came to reach us. We were so lost, we couldn't find Him. We were so broken, we couldn't reach Him. We were so deceived, we didn't want Him. We were so dead, we didn't desire Him. He came to where we were. He became us. So that we can understand Him. So that He can bring truth and grace. So He can show us the Father. Billy Graham, one time, shared an example. He says that there was a time when he was younger. And he developed this love or affection for ants. They were around his house. And his mom, on the other hand, wanted to destroy those ants. So they hired an exterminator. Somebody who would come in and exterminate. Pretty much remove all these ants and kill them. Spray something and these ants will die. And to his sadness, the next day, all the ants died. But the day before that, he tried to warn all the ants and tell them, hey, you guys got to pack your bags and go because somebody's going to come and kill you tomorrow. And unfortunately, ants did not pay attention to his message. They did not listen to what he had to say because they didn't understand Billy. And he came crying to his mom and says, mom, you know, I really cared for these ants and I wanted them to escape and run from danger. But they didn't listen to me. And his mom told him, because ants, they don't understand you. There's only one way to communicate your message and that is you have to become an ant and tell them in their language that they are in danger. And he says, from this young age, he understood what Jesus did. He became an ant. He came to our world and he not only told us the truth, he not only testified of truth as he said to Pilate that for this reason I was born is to testify of truth. Not only he showed us love, but he actually took death upon himself. He absorbed death, the punishment for our sins and died on a cross on our behalf. He became the son of man that we can become the children of God. And I'm so grateful for salvation. Religion didn't save me. Good works cannot save me. Trying to do sacraments will not save me. Baptism did not save me. Communion cannot save me. Living holy cannot save me. None of those things are good enough. Praying sinner's prayer cannot save me. Only one Savior and His name is Jesus. His name is Yeshua. His name is Jesus. His name is Jesus. He is the Savior. Only one name God has given to us. And I want to encourage you today. If you have not placed your trust in this man, Jesus, you will have to give an account for your sins. You will stand before God and you will have to give an account for what you've done. Your good works, outweighing the bad works will not save you on the last day of judgment. My friend, if doing more good works than bad works would have been the way of salvation, then God has made a mistake sending us His Son. If there were some other ways to getting saved than Jesus Christ, then God sent His Son in vain. If good works plus Jesus were required, then Jesus died in vain. So many people, they go to church, but they don't trust Jesus for their salvation. They think as long as they go to church, give their tithe, do not do anything bad. That's how they're saved. My friend, you're no different than the world out there who doesn't follow Jesus. We as Christians, we are saved through Jesus, by grace, through faith, in Him alone. We are not saved through the Holy Church. We are not saved through the priests. We are not saved through sacraments. We are not saved through our behavior. We are saved through Jesus Christ, period. When we do good works, it doesn't add to our salvation. It's just an expression of our salvation. When we pray, when we fast, when we no longer do bad things, this doesn't make us more saved. This simply means that we are walking out. We are working out our salvation. We are growing in our sanctification. But my friend, I am not more saved today because I read the Bible. I am not more saved today because I'm a pastor. I am not more saved today because I fast and I pray and because I give to the poor. I am not more saved today. None of these things make me saved, my friend. I am saved and you are saved if you place your trust in Jesus only by grace through faith. I want to strip the religion. I want to strip that lie of the enemy that every religion carries. That if you will try hard enough, that if you will work hard enough, you will be saved. Zacchaeus was a short man. And the Bible says that he was also a sinful man and he could not see Jesus because he was short. And that's what religion is. That's what humanity is. We're all short. We're born short, meaning we're not good enough. We are not bad because we did bad. We do bad because we are bad. It's our birth that made us bad, not our behavior. The reason why you have proclivity, the reason why you have a bent, the reason why you have this drawn toward evil and toward sinfulness, the reason why you have a bent toward unrighteousness is not because you are bad. It's because you're born that way. So people who walk around and say, I was born gay, well welcome to the party. I was born sinful. You and I were born sinful and therefore naturally we sin. Therefore no amount of restraint, no amount of restriction, no amount of self-control will be enough to change our evil nature. No amount of nurture can change the nature. It's like spraying perfume on the corpse. It won't make him come alive. And the Bible says that Zacchaeus was so short that he could not see Jesus. And he probably jumped and tried. He still couldn't see Jesus. And that is the state of a human race. You and I were born short. You and I were born short, fell short of the glory of God. We missed God. We missed God because of our birth, because of our behavior, because of our choices and also because of the way we were conceived. So choices and conception, birth and behavior. It's both our nature and it's also our decisions. And the Bible says that Zacchaeus, instead of going in discouragement and walking away to his old bad life, he climbed on the tree. And I believe this is the example of Jesus. The tree symbolizes the cross. When you, in your own efforts, in your own abilities, in your own strength, maybe in your own efforts, in your own religious deeds, in you trying to prove something to God and you trying to prove that you mean really well that you didn't mean to do those bad things. And when you stop trying and you start trusting in the salvation that God has provided and that salvation is in the tree, in the death, in the burial and in the resurrection, in the person of Jesus Christ. The Bible says this, that when Zacchaeus climbed on the tree, Jesus saw Zacchaeus. Previously, Zacchaeus tried to see Jesus, and he couldn't, because he was not tall enough. And that is the symbol, that is the picture of human race. No matter how good you think you are in your own eyes, no matter how good you are in comparison to your neighbor or the worst criminal on the street, no matter how you measure up among your peers, my friend, in the eyes of God, you're not good enough. And no matter how many good works and no matter how deceived you are, thinking that you're good enough, you are not good enough. But some of you, you know that. You feel that stench. You feel that unworthiness every single day. And the reason why you go to church is to wash off that guilt and that shame. And I have a solution for you today. You don't need to go to church to wash off that stain. You need to go to Christ. The church, no matter Catholic church, Christian church, the holy church, Protestant church, charismatic church, does not have the power to wash your sins away. Zacchaeus climbed on the tree. You have to run to the cross. Like Israelites that were bitten in the wilderness, they had to look to that serpent that Moses lifted up and that's when they were cured. You have to look to Christ. And when you look to the cross, when you come with your sin, when you come with your shame, when you come with your guilt, when you come with your repeated promises, when you come with your broken promises and resolutions, when you come with your addiction, when you come with that generational cycle and you come with all of that to the cross, something will happen. Jesus will notice you. He will call you by name as he did with Zacchaeus. He said, Zacchaeus, Zacchaeus, and he's calling you by name. When you stop trying, and that's what salvation is, as long as you're trying to change you, you will never get saved because salvation is not about human effort. Salvation is about God's effort and human surrender. And there are many of you, you are a surrender away from being transformed. You are a prayer of surrender from being delivered. All you have to do is quit trying. If you keep on trying, you will keep on failing because salvation is not a result of trying. It's the direct result of trusting. And to trust, you have to stop jumping to see God. You have to stop trying harder trust instead. Jesus called Zacchaeus and he said Zacchaeus. You know Zacchaeus means pure, innocent. Zacchaeus was not pure and innocent. Zacchaeus was godless. Zacchaeus was a cheater. Zacchaeus was not the man who deserved to carry that name. But Jesus, because he's on that tree, calls him by his new name. Jesus knows his past, yet he calls him by his name. See, the devil knows your name, but he will always call you by your past. Jesus, when you hide in the cross, when you lay hold of the Calvary, when you run to him and you realize your education, your entertainment, your good works, none of that stuff will ever save you. But he will. He was given to us by God to be our savior. You lay hold of him, something will happen. He will call you by your name. And not only that, he will come into your house, into your heart and he will make dwelling there. And when his presence begins to live in you, it will by its power change you. Jesus didn't go to Zacchaeus' house and started to pull out on his bank accounts and say, Zacchaeus, you lied here, you cheated here. Zacchaeus, you're such a bad person. See, many of you think that's what Jesus does, because that's what your mom did, that's what your dad did, that's what your pastor does. That's what probably I would do, but that's not what Jesus does. When Jesus meets you, he meets you at the cross. He meets you at the point of your sin. He meets you at the point of your brokenness. He meets you at the point of where you are lost. He didn't come to call the righteous to repentance, but you to repentance and I. Jesus meets you at the point where you are tired of trying, where you can no longer do it again, where you say, you know what, I quit, I give up, I can't do it anymore. He meets you there, but he never leaves you how he meets you. He never leaves you where he meets you. When he meets you, he changes your name. He reassures you of his love. He forgives you of your sin and he invites himself into your heart. Yes, the broken heart. Yes, abused heart. Yes, the fatherless heart, the orphan heart. Yes, the heart that still harbors on forgiveness. Yes, the heart that still has lustful thoughts. Yes, the heart that still has greed, pride and shame, lust. Yes, the heart that still has self-righteousness, self-condemnation. And once he goes to that place of your heart, by his presence and the power of the Holy Spirit, he changes you into a new person. Please understand, it's not Christianity is not you changing you for God. It's you coming to God the way you are. And the Holy Spirit comes to live inside of you and he changes you. This is the miracle. This is what salvation is. It's the gift of God, where God takes residence inside of you. This is not sets of rules, do's and don'ts. This is not sets of rites, sacraments and rituals. This is not just more headache, more things to remember to do. This is a sweet relationship by which a sinner is made righteous through the gift of Jesus Christ. And then this sinner who just became righteous says, I don't know how to live. I don't have the power to do right. I'm afraid I'm gonna screw up again. I'm afraid I'm gonna fall again. And Jesus says, I got you. I'm going to enter in and I'm going to live inside of you. And you will no longer have to try. You will simply trust. No longer I but Christ who lives inside of me. Paul says, and the life I now live, I live through the Son of God lives inside of me. This is the beauty of grace. Grace is not an excuse to do whatever you want. Grace is coming to Jesus the way you are, is allowing Him to come inside of you and then letting Him live through you. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. If your Christianity is difficult, if your Christianity is complicated, today I want to ask you, have you truly placed your trust in Jesus? Or are you trusting in Jesus and your good works? Jesus and your church attendance. Jesus and your fasting. Jesus and your giving. Jesus and your, I need to stop doing this. I need to stop doing that. I don't sin because I'm afraid of going to hell. I sin because Jesus has given a new heart. Now this does not mean I don't get tempted. It does not mean I don't fall. But when the righteous man falls seven times, he gets right back up. So Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus is the Savior. And number three, Jesus is the King. Jesus is the King. And this is huge because in Matthew chapter 2 verse 2, it says saying, where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east and have come to worship Him. Isaiah 9.6, it says, for unto us a child is born. Unto us a son is given and the government will be upon his shoulder and his name will be wonderful. Consulor, mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. I want you to notice when he was born, the wise men came looking for a King, not for a Savior. They came to worship the King, not a Savior. They did not know about Him being a Savior. They knew about Him being a King. Jesus proclaimed the Gospel of the Kingdom. He did not preach salvation as much as He preached the Kingdom. All the parables were to describe the life and the contrast of the Kingdom. In fact, He told us to preach the Kingdom as well. The Gospel of the Kingdom, meaning the good news of His Kingdom. When He was dying, they put a sign over His head, the King of the Jews. When He's coming back, He's coming as a King, not as a suffering Savior, but as a King. Now, I live, and most of you live, in a place where there's either democracy or some other form of government. When Jesus was speaking in that day, the form of government that was there during His day was Kingdom government. It was monarchy, where there was a King. His name was actually Caesar, and He ruled the country, the world, His world. The King's word was the law. He was not voted into power. There was no elections. He was never voted out of power. His word was not debated on the newspapers. People did not discuss it on the news stations. His word meant the law. Whatever the King said, that was its law. Also, the King would choose His citizens to be a citizen of the Kingdom because it was a privilege, not a right. The King would send ambassadors to places He conquered to be these people that will bring the culture of the Kingdom into those places. And the King would have an iglesia, meaning like a consul, like a consul of His people, where He would come, and this would happen in Roman Empire. So all of these words that we see today in the Church, like we are ambassadors of Christ, they come mainly from the Roman Empire terminology. Now, at that day for people to acknowledge Jesus as a King, this was different as it is today because we have a president, some of you have a prime minister, and our president, he's not a king. Most presidents, I'm sorry, but they're puppets. They're not real. Somebody else is pulling the strings. They have these donors that they try to please who pretty much got them elected. They have majority of people that voted for Him and for them, and then there's half of the population that doesn't like them or their policies. They have a party that they're trying to please. And every few years, they run for reelection, and then after that they're done. Kings are not ran like that. Kings are born as a king. So Jesus is born as a king. There was no election when He was born. Nobody held an election at the birth of Jesus. Why were the wise men declaring Him a king? Because kings are not voted. They are born. Jesus was born a king. You don't decide Jesus to become a king. Jesus is not a king because you and I say so. Jesus is not a king because our nation decides to choose Him as to be such. Jesus is the king of kings and Lord of lords, regardless of what we think of what we say. Why is that important? Because He is the Messiah. He is the Savior. But I have to tell you also the other part of the news. He's also the king. He is the only rightful king for this planet. He wants to rule in our hearts. He doesn't want to take. When kings rule, they take. They tax you. They make you their slaves. They make you serve them. That's why Samuel told the nation of Israelites. And he says, you guys want the king. You have no idea. Once you get this king, he's going to make you into slaves. You will have your own oppressor. This king will oppress you. And he will, on the top of tidying, you're going to have to pay taxes. And then they're going to rule you. And they're going to dominate you. And they're flawed. But Jesus Christ came to serve, not to be served. But don't make a mistake. Jesus Christ is not a doormat. He is a king. He is the king. That's why the waves obey him. That's why he could sit in a donkey that nobody has ever written before, and the donkey did not trip up or threw him off. That's why demons obeyed him. That's why his word is the command. People will say, why do you guys pay attention so much to the words of Jesus? Because he's the king. His word is our constitution. That's why Jesus Christ still remains the king today. And he's coming back as the king, no longer on a donkey, but on a white horse. He's not coming back to negotiate. He's not coming back and wait for the world, the UN, the world population together, together, and decide if we want Jesus or not. This will not be that kind of an entrance. He will not be knocking. He will be riding. And there will be a sound of an archangel, a trumpet of God that will announce his coming. A sword will come from his mouth and will destroy the wicked. Now you may say, man, that's just not fair. That's just not right. My friend, that's his planet. You and I are living on. And last time I checked, I have not made one payment to Jesus for leasing and using the air. He has given me the gift of life. And as a citizen of his kingdom, I owe him worship. So when he is my Messiah, I receive him as my Messiah. I receive him as God. As my savior, I come to him with my sin. I come to him with my faults. But as my king, I run to him with adoration and worship. I worship Jesus. And this is one of the... Why am I presenting Jesus as a king? Well, first of all, because that's who he is. But secondly, is that when you understand Jesus as the king, when you embrace Jesus as the king, not only as a spare tire, not only as your insurance card, not only as your safe passage to heaven and you will not go to hell, that is good. But Jesus the king does something to your spiritual life. It gives a sense of truth. It brings you truth. It brings you... His word becomes the constitution. And worshiping him changes you. Let me say it again. When Jesus becomes your king, his word becomes your constitution. And worshiping him changes you. If you remember in the Old Testament where the Bible says that everyone did what was right in their eyes because there was no king in Israel. It's interesting. It does not say everyone did what was wrong in their eyes because there was no king in Israel. Why? Because when you don't have a king, my friend, you will always do what you do and you will justify it and call it right. You will call wrong things right because you don't want to change. So you would instead change your moral code, change the rules as you go. You will say things like you can choose your gender. You will say things like killing a baby. It's health. You will say things like men loving another man in a sexual union is love. You will say things like it's okay to be racist. You will say things like you know what? It's okay to murder another person. You will say these things. Why? Because you don't have to change and you make your own rules because you are your own God. But Jesus teaches us that if you have a king, not a president, but a king, you abide by his word because his word is your constitution. And when you abide by his word, you abide by his truth. Something happens. You worship him. When you worship, you change. The wise men worship Jesus. They brought him their gifts. And during the night, he led them and instructed them. You will always become what you behold. And as you worship, whatever you worship, you become. You will be changed in the image of what you worship. If you worship sex, you will become that. If you worship culture, you will become like the culture. If you worship selfishness, you will be transformed into someone like Satan who was focused on himself. But if you worship the king, you will be transformed into the likeness and the image of your king. That's why you must embrace Jesus as your king. That's why you must worship Jesus as your king. You must take every day a moment where you read the Holy Bible. So it's one thing to come as a sinner. It's to acknowledge your need for salvation. Receive Jesus as your savior. It's totally another to be a disciple and embrace Jesus' word as your constitution. And worship him as your king. And just adore him. Like the wise men did. Adore him. Like the children did when he entered into Jerusalem. Adore him like disciples did. When he walked on water, into their boat, worship him like Thomas did and he said my Lord, my God as you worship him you become changed. See, when you don't see Jesus as a king, you won't worship him. Instead, you will worship your emotions. You will worship your ideas. You will worship the culture. You will worship popular opinion. You will worship what is popular in the culture. And that's how we have many Christians today in this world who are not being transformed into the image of God. This is why. Because they don't worship. And I'm not talking about worship as just singing a song. I'm talking about worship as an attitude of the heart where you admire and you honor Jesus. And his word is your constitution. Why am I saying this? Because Jesus told us this gospel. He didn't tell us to go everywhere and preach only salvation. He told us to preach the gospel of the kingdom. The kingdom is Jesus's rule in the heart of men. For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but it's righteousness, it's peace, and it's joy in the Holy Spirit. And so I want to challenge you right now. To move from the sinner to a saint. As the saint of God embrace the revelation of Jesus the king. Worship your king. Bring him your gifts, your treasures. As a sinner you bring him your trash. But as a saint you bring him your treasures. When you see Jesus merely as your savior you bring him your garbage. You bring him your trash. Because that's all we have to offer. And he takes that and gives us the gift of life. But Jesus is not only our savior. He's also our king. We have to bring our treasures to him. And so many people only run to the Lord to give him trash. But they don't run to the Lord to give him their time, their treasures, and their blessings. The things that the Lord has given them. And because of that they don't grow in God. That's why I want to challenge you to take time to spend with the king. Read his word. As we're going into the next year take time to fast. Fast with us. Why? Because it's not just about bringing your trash. It's about bringing your treasures. Because your king he expects worship. Your king he expects adoration. Your king expects you to bow your knee to him. If Jesus is your king I want you to drop number one in the chat. If you are a worshipper of the king Jesus drop number one in the chat. I'm going to take this teaching a little bit further now. In the Old Testament I'm going to give you three sevens. The first seven is the seventh feast of Israel and then I'm going to how Jesus is in the seventh feast of Israel we will go through them very quickly. Then I'm going to mention seven I.M.s of Jesus and then seven redemptive names seven redemptive names of Jesus. And so we will go through that but before we do that I want to welcome every person that is just jumped in or is rewatching this broadcast I want to ask you to go ahead and hit thumbs up on where you are watching on YouTube especially. Just take a moment hit thumbs up, share this with somebody we're going to go deeper right now into the truths about who Jesus is I believe it's going to be a great blessing to your life I want you to get ready take your notebook out and hit thumbs up or just share this broadcast with somebody let us know where you're tuning in and rewatching if you're on the rewatch drop in the chat or drop in the comments hey I'm rewatching this we usually have more people rewatching than watching live but nevertheless I want to thank you as I'm taking this little break now Jesus in the seven feasts of Israel Jesus in the Old Testament one of the ways you see Jesus who he is and his power and that's what I'm going to share with now is seven feasts of Israel reveal who Jesus is Israel had seven feasts let's go through them very quickly the first feast that we know that is the feast of the Passover and this is symbolic of Jesus' death Israel had four feasts in the spring and three feasts in the fall and the four feasts they had in the spring was Passover, unleavened bread first fruits and the pentecost or weeks and then in the fall they had the feast of trumpets the day of atonement and the tabernacles so let's kind of quickly go through these feasts and this is beautiful analogy of who Jesus is in the Old Testament remember we're talking about Jesus those of you who are submitting questions keep submitting questions we have our moderator we're collecting questions right now and then I'm going to answer them at the end but I want to stay focused on the teachings about Jesus the seven feasts of Israel reveal who Jesus is four feasts were fulfilled in his first coming and three feasts will be fulfilled in his second coming the first feast is the feast of Passover you probably already heard about this feast of Israel and it celebrates actually the death of Jesus Christ it pointed to the Messiah as a Passover lamb whose blood will be shed for our sins Jesus was crucified when Passover was observed that's interesting huh Jesus is the lamb without blemish or defect in 1 Peter 119 because his life was completely free from sin as the first Passover marked the Hebrews release from the Egypt we also know that the death of Jesus Christ it redeems us from the slavery of sin so Jesus is our Passover lamb and he actually died on the time that they were celebrating Passover because he was the shadow of that the second feast and this one is the feast of the unleavened bread it speaks of Jesus' burial it's pointing to Messiah's sinless life as a leaven a picture of sin in the Bible making him the perfect sacrifice for our sins Jesus' body was in the grave during the first days of this feast like the carnal of the weed planted and waiting to burst forth as the bread of life and so unleavened bread is actually the symbolic of Jesus' perfect sinless life and his burial and eventually his resurrection the third feast is the feast so actually the third feast is going to deal with his resurrection this is the first fruits feast it's pointing to Messiah's resurrection as the first fruits of the righteous Jesus was resurrected on this very day which is one of the reasons Paul refers to Jesus in 1 Corinthians 15 20 as the first fruits of the dead so on the very day that Israel is celebrating the first fruits Jesus rises from the dead and Paul then says that Jesus is the first fruits from the dead meaning he is the first that got risen from the dead that means that you and I will also rise from the dead come on somebody give God some praise now the fruits the feasts fruits feasts my tongue is getting twisted the fourth feast of Israel the feast of weeks or we call it the Pentecost and this is when Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit it occurred 50 days after the beginning of the feast of the unleavened bread and pointed to the great harvest of souls and the gift of the Holy Spirit for both Jew and Gentile which would bring into the kingdom of God during the church age the church was established on this day when God poured out his spirit 3000 people responded to Peter's great sermon on the first proclamation of the Gospel and you may say how is Jesus what is Jesus has to do with Pentecost well on the day of Pentecost it was Jesus that gave his spirit he was the baptizer of the Holy Spirit so Jesus is the King Jesus is the Lamb of God Jesus is the Savior and he's also the baptizer of the Holy Spirit so Jesus on the Passover he died like a lamb also Jesus on the unleavened bread that pretty much shows that he was buried sinless perfect spotless Lamb of God who died on the feast of the first fruits meaning where you would bring the first fruits this was Jesus rising from the dead as the first fruits of us who will follow him and then on the feast of the weeks the feast of the Pentecost Jesus the baptizer of the Holy Spirit pours out his spirit upon the church and the harvest of souls is saved now Israel has three more feasts that were celebrated in the fall these four feasts were celebrated in the spring they were fulfilled in the first coming of Jesus three more feasts are still going to be fulfilled in Jesus and they're celebrated in the fall the feast of trumpets it's speaking of Jesus' returning the first of the fall feasts many believers believe that it points to the rapture of the church when Jesus the Messiah will appear in heavens as he comes for his bride the church and the rapture is always connected with the blowing of a loud trumpet so as there's a feast of the trumpets we know that there is coming a time where Jesus is coming back and there will be a loud trumpet that will proclaim and announce Jesus' second coming and this feast my friend is still coming Jesus is coming again Jesus is coming for his bride Jesus is coming for his church and Jesus is coming to judge the world he is coming no longer to suffer but to reign he will establish his kingdom in Jerusalem he will sit in the temple his feet will touch the mount of olives and this will happen at the feast of trumpets meaning when the trumpet will sound and the Lord will ascend the sixth feast is the day of atonement this is speaking of Israel being saved many believe this prophetically points to the day of Jesus when he will return to the earth that there will be a day of atonement for the Jewish remnant when they will look unto him whom they have pierced and repent of their sins and receive him as their messiah according to Zechariah 12 10, Romans 11 verses 1 all the way till 6 and 25 all the way till 36 so the day of atonement is speaking of the Jewish people recognizing Jesus as the messiah and that will happen when he returns and then there's the feast of tabernacles and tabernacles speaks of Jesus's reign and dwelling with us many scholars believe that this feast points to the Lord's promise that he will once again tabernacle with his people when he returns to reign over all the earth so seventh feast of Israel four feasts in the spring three feasts in the fall four feasts they point out to Jesus's death his burial his resurrection him pouring out the Holy Ghost and then the three more feast that will still be fulfilled in Jesus's second coming point to Jesus's coming Jesus's coming at the sound of a trumpet the Jewish people being saved and the Lord tabernacking tabernacle the Lord dwelling with us forever and we in his presence come on somebody if you receive that revelation today drop that number one in the chat if this is if you're receiving something right now and it's being blessing to you to your spiritual life drop number one in the chat and now I want to jump into seven IM's of Jesus the best way to know who Jesus is is to see what Jesus said about himself he said number one I am the bread of life in John chapter 6 verse 35 in John chapter 6 verse 48 and John chapter 6 verse 51 I am the bread of life my friend if you are hungry today for God Jesus is your bread Jesus also said I am the light of the world in John chapter 8 verse 12 and in John chapter 9 verse 5 if you are in darkness Jesus is your light if you feel depressed if you feel downcast if you feel forgotten if you feel negative emotions overwhelming you Jesus is your solution he is the light of the world he wants to be the light of your world Jesus also said I am the door John chapter 10 verse 7 and John chapter 10 verse 9 that means that Jesus Christ is the only door to heaven spiritual blessings he's the only door to green pastures Jesus is the only door to God Jesus said I am the good shepherd in John chapter 10 verse 11 and John chapter 10 verse 14 that means that if you are a sheep you don't just have a savior you also have a shepherd shepherd stays with you shepherd leads you shepherd guides you shepherd cares for you see as a savior he rescues me a lost sheep but as my shepherd he stays with me and guides me and that's who Jesus is Jesus is also the resurrection and the life in John chapter 11 verse 25 that means that when Jesus comes into my life I experience resurrection I experience the zoe the eternal life of God inside of me Jesus is also the way the truth and life John chapter 14 verse 6 that means that Jesus is not a truth Jesus is not just somebody who knows the truth he is the way and he is the life and the seventh I am is Jesus said I am the true wine the true wine John chapter 15 verse 1 and that simply means that Jesus Christ is the one I can abide on and he the sap from him flows through me and I can bear fruit so he is the bread of life he is the light of the world he is the resurrection and life he is the way truth and life and he is the true wine that's who Jesus is come on somebody drop that number one in the chat if you love the Lord Jesus Christ and if he has made a difference in your life I want to take a moment right now and go into a time of prayer the first thing I want to ask if if you are watching this right now you do not know
