  1. The Lifeof Christ

  2. Eternity to Creation

  3. One of the basic tenets of Christianity is that Jesus Christ has existed from eternity. • “Thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting” (Mic5:2). • “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (Jn 1:1). • “Now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was” (Jn 17:5). • “He is before all things, and by him all things consist” (Col 1:17).

  4. What does Jesus’ eternality really mean? • This is an affirmation of His deity (Deut 32:40; 33:27). • This declares that He is greater than those He came to save. • This allowed Him to aid in Creation (Jn 1:3, 10; Col 1:15-16).

  5. From Creation to Bethlehem

  6. Jesus seems to have been greatly involved in the events of the OT. • He understood OT teaching better than His contemporaries. • He speaks of judgment upon unrepentant cities. • Jesus and His Father are one. • “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father” (Jn14:9). • Jn17:20-21.

  7. From Bethlehem to the Ascension

  8. Why is this part of Jesus’ life important? • Jesus’ birth at Bethlehem signaled great humility (Phi1 2:6-8). • Jesus suffered temptation (Matt 4:1; Heb 4:14-16). • Jesus taught much & healed many (Mk 1:38; Matt 11:4-5). • Jesus died for our forgiveness (Rom 5:9-11). • Jesus was raised back to life in order that we might live eternally (1 Cor15:20-23).

  9. From the Ascension to the Judgment Jesus ascended back to the Father after his resurrection (Acts 1:9).

  10. When he ascended back to the Father, he was crowned with glory and honor (Eph 1:18-21; Heb 1:3-4). • From that place of authority, Christ aides Christians as they live in him. • It is he who is the High Priest who assists us in our struggles (Heb 4:14-16). • It is he who stands before the Father to make intercession for us (Heb 7:25; 1 Jn 2:1). • At the conclusion of this period, Jesus will judge the world (Acts 17:31; Rom 2:16; 2 Tim 4:1).

  11. From Judgment to Eternity

  12. Christ has maintained some of His humanity (1 Tim 2:5). • In eternity, Jesus will receive praise from His people • Phil 2:10-11. • The New Testaments presents Christ has receiving much heavenly praise (Rev 5:9-14;15:1-4).

  13. Are you praising Jesus with your life?
