Who Is This Jesus?

Rick Holland opened up the Resolved conference last Summer with this:

If we could summon an Angel and set them here on this stage - they would talk about Jesus
If we were to bring any of the saints - OT people who are in Heaven - and put them here on this stage - they would talk about Jesus
If you pulled someone up from hell - put them here on this stage - they would talk about Jesus
If the Holy Spirit Materialized here on this stage - He would talk about Jesus
If God Himself condescended from His heavenly throne and came here and stood on this stage - He would talk about Jesus.
...however...
If the Devil Himself or any of His demons were to come here - they would talk about anything but Jesus.
Or better yet - they would talk about Jesus in an inaccurate way.
They would talk about a Jesus who isn’t what the Bible describes.

Christianity is about Jesus
There should be nothing more interesting to a Christian than Jesus.

To that end - we're spending several weeks talking about, and looking at what history and (more importantly) what the Bible says about Jesus.

Our Scripture memorization right now is all about Jesus. Not that it's not always about Him, because it is. But right now, we're specifically focusing on the person and work of Christ.

This week's verse is Colossians 3:1-2
"If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth."

Soli Deo Gloria!
