The events are specifically described as "acts of God." "This Jesus God raised up . . . God has made him both Lord and Christ." Anything judged by humans to be "an act of God" belongs to the category of a human judgment or interpretation and not to the category of historical event. During his ministry
Dec 18, 2017 · Very God and Very Man. When in Matthew 24:36 Jesus says that not even the Son knows the time of Jesus’s return, I take him to mean that the Son — Jesus Christ, considered in his human nature — operates with a kind of limitation. But not the divine nature. Now, I know that sounds weird; that sounds strange.
Jun 11, 2009 · For example, Jesus never used the term “God” when referring to Himself, none of the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, or Luke) ever explicitly gives the title “God” to Jesus, no sermon in the Book of Acts attributes the title “God” to Jesus, no existing Christian confession(s) of Jesus as “God” exist earlier than the late 50s and, although there are seventeen texts that are ...

The Gospel of Matthew
Mattewpresents Jesus as the promised Messiah (Christ, Matt 1:1), the coming King (Matt 2:2). The Gospel of Matthew is very Jewish in its message, revealing Jesus as the Star that would come out of Jacob, the Scepter that would rise out of Israel (Num 24:17-19), and the One who would sit on David’s throne (Isa 9:7). The Gospel gives great revelation of the Kingdom to come (Matt 3:2, et.al, Matt 13). In Matthew, Jesus’ genealogy is recorded from Abraham to Joseph, making Jesus the legal heir to...
The Gospel of Mark
Mark presents Jesus as the Suffering Servant, prophesied in Isaiah 53. Jesus humbled Himself and came to do the will of His Father and to reveal the amazing love and grace of God. This is clearly seen in Jesus’ own words,“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45) There is no genealogy recorded in the Gospel of Mark because a servant’s genealogy was insignificant and not worthy of being recorded. The symbol of the Gos...
The Gospel of Luke
Luke presents Jesus as the Son of Man, a messianic title from the prophecy of Daniel (Dan 7:13), and as the son of David (Luke 3:31). Luke focuses on Jesus’ humanity and beautifully details the announcement of His incarnation and His birth (Luke 1 and 2). Luke is the only Gospel that gives a glimpse into Jesus’ childhood years (Luke 2:40, Luke 2:42-43). The genealogy in Luke begins with Joseph, as the husband of Mary, and traces Jesus’ ancestry through Mary’s bloodline, from the line of David...
With all four Gospels, we get a clear and accurate understanding of who Jesus is, what Jesus has done, and what He continues to do. Eight times in the Gospels we read of the Lord Jesus Christ giving an admonition that we are to have ears that hear (Matthew 11:15, 13:9,43, Mark 4:9, 23, Mark 7:16, Luke 8:8, 14:35). We are told by the apostle Paul th...
All of this was prophesied, more than a half a century earlier, by the prophet Micah: But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah,though thou belittle [Mark’s humble servant] among the thousands of Judah [Luke’s Son of Man from the Tribe of Judah], yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to beruler in Israel [Matthew’s coming King]; whose goings forth...
The “form of God” doesn’t just mean that Jesus looks like God or is the same shape, but rather it teaches that Jesus’s very essence is the same as God’s. In other words, Jesus is eternally God. There was never a point in time when He wasn’t God and became God; neither is there a point in time when He was God and then ceased to be ...
Jesus Christ, true God and true man, fulfilled the expectations of the prophets. Jesus himself claimed that he always did those things that pleased the Father (John 8:29). On any other lips, such a claim would be arrogant, but Christ did in fact live a life of perfect obedience.

Jesus’ message had four essential parts: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel” ( Mark 1:15 ). Since the time was fulfilled , Jesus taught that the Kingdom is “at hand”—that it is truly coming and should be a top priority for us now.
