Jesus Our Brother

Category: Sermon Prep

This Sunday we will continue answering the question—Who Is Jesus? Specifically, we will consider that Jesus is a man, that is, He is entirely and utterly and completely a human being. In preparation for the message, ponder these questions and ideas:

• The Son of God ("The Word") is altogether divine; as God He possesses all the attributes of God.

• Jesus of Nazareth is altogether human; as a man He possesses all the attributes of men.

• What are the attributes of men and how do the Scriptures present Jesus as having them?

• In what ways is Jesus unlike other men?

• Why is it important and significant that God became a man? Why does it matter? 

I encourage you to read Hebrews 2:9-18 and 4:14-16. Meditate on the significance of the Incarnation as revealed in these verses and let the birth of the Savior provoke a deeper sense of joy and thanksgiving this Christmas season.
