Christ, the Mediator in All Ages
Who is Jesus Christ? Why is there such misunderstanding in the
religious world about Him? When did He become involved with planet
Earth? What does the Bible say to humankind about Christ as Creator.
Sa\ior, and Mediator of thcFathier's love, truth, mercy. andjustice-His true
character? Elder Joseph Bullard invites you to join him in this Search for
Truth about Jesus Christ.
When did Jesus become involved with planet earth? John 17:4-5
"I have glorified thee on the earth: 1 have finished the work which thou
gavest me to do And now. O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self
with the glory which 1 had with thee before the world was."
Jesus came to be God with us. Matthew 1:23
"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and
they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with
us.
Who created this world? John 1:1-3 |
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word w as with God, and the ,
Word was God The same w as in the beginning with God. All things were I
made by him: and without him was not any thing made that was made." , i
Is the Word really Jesus Christ? John 1:4 '
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld |
his glory, the glorv as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and ]
truth." I
Jesus is equal to God. Philippians 2:5-11
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being {
in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made ,
himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was I
made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he i
humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the '
cross. WhereforeGodalsohathhighlycxaltedhim, and given him a name |
which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should '
bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; I
And that every tongue should confess that Christ is the Lord, to the glory
of God the Father." |
The one to whom every knee will bow is called Israel's God. Isaiah
45:22,23 (
"Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, <
and there is none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my '
mouth in righteousness, and shall not return. That unto every knee shall j
bow, every tongue shall swear." '
When the Children of Israel left Egyptfor the Promised Land of |
Canaan, who was it that actually led them from Egypt on through
the Red Sea, through the desert and into the promised land? Exodus |
13:21-22; I Corinthians 10:1-4
"And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead I
them the way: and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them, light; to go
by day an night: He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor 1
the pillar of fire by night, fro before the people." (
"Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that
all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And I
were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud an din the sea: And di all cat the
same spiritual meat; An did all drink the same spiritual drink; forthey drank
of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ."
Who wrote God's holy law on Mt. Sinai? Nehemiah 9:6, 11-13
"Thou, even thou, art LORD alone: thou hast made heaven, the heaven
ofheav ens . And thou didist di vide the sea before them, so that they went
through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou
threw est into the deep, as a stone into the mighty w aters. Moreover thou
leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of
fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go. Thou earnest
down also unto Mount Sinai, and spakesi with them from heaven, and
gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments."
God the Father and God the Son are two distinct beings. Matthew
3:17; Luke 23:46
"And lo a voice from heaven, saying, this is my beloved Son, in whom
I am well pleased."
"And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy
hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."
