(1) WHO IS JESUS?
MARK 1:1 The Beginning Of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, The Son Of God;
LUKE 1:27-32,35,38 To A Virgin Espoused To A Man Whose Name Was Joseph, Of The House Of David; And The Virgin's Name Was Mary. And The Angel Came In Unto Her, And Said, Hail, Thou That Art Highly Favoured, The Lord Is With Thee: Blessed Art Thou Among Women. And When She Saw Him, She Was Troubled At His Saying, And Cast In Her Mind What Manner Of Salutation This Should Be. And The Angel Said Unto Her, Fear Not, Mary: For Thou Hast Found Favour With God. And, Behold, Thou Shalt Conceive In Thy Womb, And Bring Forth A Son, And Shalt Call His Name Jesus. He Shall Be Great, And Shall Be Called The Son Of The Highest: And The Lord God Shall Give Unto Him The Throne Of His Father David:
[35] And The Angel Answered And Said Unto Her, The Holy Ghost Shall Come Upon Thee, And The Power Of The Highest Shall Overshadow Thee: Therefore Also That Holy Thing Which Shall Be Born Of Thee Shall Be Called The Son Of God.
[38] And Mary Said, Behold The Handmaid Of The Lord; Be It Unto Me According To Thy Word. And The Angel Departed From Her.
(2) WHY WAS JESUS BORN?
MATTHEW 1:21-23 And She Shall Bring Forth A Son, And Thou Shalt Call His Name Jesus: For He Shall Save His People From Their Sins.
Now All This Was Done, That It Might Be Fulfilled Which Was Spoken Of The Lord By The Prophet, Saying, 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.
1 PETER 1:20 Who Verily Was Foreordained Before The Foundation Of The World, But Was Manifest In These Last Times For You,
LUKE 4:18-21 The Spirit Of The Lord Is Upon Me, Because He Hath Anointed Me To Preach The Gospel To The Poor; He Hath Sent Me To Heal The Brokenhearted, To Preach Deliverance To The Captives, And Recovering Of Sight To The Blind, To Set At Liberty Them That Are Bruised, To Preach The Acceptable Year Of The Lord. And He Closed The Book, And He Gave It Again To The Minister, And Sat Down. And The Eyes Of All Them That Were In The Synagogue Were Fastened On Him. And He Began To Say Unto Them, This Day Is This Scripture Fulfilled In Your Ears.
(3) WHAT KIND OF LIFE DID HE LIVE?
2 PETER 1:19 But With The Precious Blood Of Christ, As Of A Lamb Without Blemish And Without Spot:
HEBREWS 4:15 For We Have Not An High Priest Which Cannot Be Touched With The Feeling Of Our Infirmities; But Was In All Points Tempted Like As We Are, Yet Without Sin.
HEBREWS 7:25-26 Wherefore He Is Able Also To Save Them To The Uttermost That Come Unto God By Him, Seeing He Ever Liveth To Make Intercession For Them. For Such An High Priest Became Us, Who Is Holy, Harmless, Undefiled, Separate From Sinners, And Made Higher Than The Heavens
(4) WHAT DID JESUS GO THROUGH?
MATTHEW 26:67-68 Then Did They Spit In His Face, And Buffeted Him; And Others Smote Him With The Palms Of Their Hands, Saying, Prophesy Unto Us, Thou Christ, Who Is He That Smote Thee?
MATTHEW 27:26-31,34-35 Then Released He Barabbas Unto Them: And When He Had Scourged Jesus, He Delivered Him To Be Crucified. Then The Soldiers Of The Governor Took Jesus Into The Common Hall, And Gathered Unto Him The Whole Band Of Soldiers. And They Stripped Him, And Put On Him A Scarlet Robe. And When They Had Platted A Crown Of Thorns, They Put It Upon His Head, And A Reed In His Right Hand: And They Bowed The Knee Before Him, And Mocked Him, Saying, Hail, King Of The Jews! And They Spit Upon Him, And Took The Reed, And Smote Him On The Head. And After That They Had Mocked Him, They Took The Robe Off From Him, And Put His Own Raiment On Him, And Led Him Away To Crucify Him.
[34] They Gave Him Vinegar To Drink Mingled With Gall: And When He Had Tasted Thereof, He Would Not Drink. And They Crucified Him, And Parted His Garments, Casting Lots: That It Might Be Fulfilled Which Was Spoken By The Prophet, They Parted My Garments Among Them, And Upon My Vesture Did They Cast Lots.
ISAIAH 50:6 I Gave My Back To The Smiters, And My Cheeks To Them That Plucked Off The Hair: I Hid Not My Face From Shame And Spitting.
JOHN 19:1-3 Then Pilate Therefore Took Jesus, And Scourged Him. And The Soldiers Platted A Crown Of Thorns, And Put It On His Head, And They Put On Him A Purple Robe, And Said, Hail, King Of The Jews! And They Smote Him With Their Hands
ISAIAH 53:2-12 For He Shall Grow Up Before Him As A Tender Plant, And As A Root Out Of A Dry Ground: He Hath No Form Nor Comeliness; And When We Shall See Him, There Is No Beauty That We Should Desire Him. He Is Despised And Rejected Of Men; A Man Of Sorrows, And Acquainted With Grief: And We Hid As It Were Our Faces From Him; He Was Despised, And We Esteemed Him Not. Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs, And Carried Our Sorrows: Yet We Did Esteem Him Stricken, Smitten Of God, And Afflicted. But He Was Wounded For Our Transgressions, He Was Bruised For Our Iniquities: The Chastisement Of Our Peace Was Upon Him; And With His Stripes We Are Healed. All We Like Sheep Have Gone Astray; We Have Turned Every One To His Own Way; And The Lord Hath Laid On Him The Iniquity Of Us All. He Was Oppressed, And He Was Afflicted, Yet He Opened Not His Mouth: He Is Brought As A Lamb To The Slaughter, And As A Sheep Before Her Shearers Is Dumb, So He Openeth Not His Mouth. He Was Taken From Prison And From Judgment: And Who Shall Declare His Generation? For He Was Cut Off Out Of The Land Of The Living: For The Transgression Of My People Was He Stricken. And He Made His Grave With The Wicked, And With The Rich In His Death; Because He Had Done No Violence, Neither Was Any Deceit In His Mouth. Yet It Pleased The Lord To Bruise Him; He Hath Put Him To Grief: When Thou Shalt Make His Soul An Offering For Sin, He Shall See His Seed, He Shall Prolong His Days, And The Pleasure Of The Lord Shall Prosper In His Hand. He Shall See Of The Travail Of His Soul, And Shall Be Satisfied: By His Knowledge Shall My Righteous Servant Justify Many; For He Shall Bear Their Iniquities. Therefore Will I Divide Him A Portion With The Great, And He Shall Divide The Spoil With The Strong; Because He Hath Poured Out His Soul Unto Death: And He Was Numbered With The Transgressors; And He Bare The Sin Of Many, And Made Intercession For The Transgressors.
MATTHEW 27:46 AND ABOUT THE NINTH HOUR JESUS CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE, SAYING, ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI? THAT IS TO SAY, MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?
MARK 15:34 AND AT THE NINTH HOUR JESUS CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE, SAYING, ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI? WHICH IS, BEING INTERPRETED, MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?
(5) WHY DID JESUS GO THROUGH ALL THAT HE DID?
2 CORINTHIANS 5:21 FOR HE HATH MADE HIM TO BE SIN FOR US, WHO KNEW NO SIN; THAT WE MIGHT BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM.
GALATIANS 3:26 FOR YE ARE ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS.
(6) WHY DID HE GO INTO HELL?
PSALM 16:10 For Thou Wilt Not Leave My Soul In Hell; Neither Wilt Thou Suffer Thine Holy One To See Corruption.
ACTS 2:26-27 Therefore Did My Heart Rejoice, And My Tongue Was Glad; Moreover Also My Flesh Shall Rest In Hope: Because Thou Wilt Not Leave My Soul In Hell, Neither Wilt Thou Suffer Thine Holy One To See Corruption.
ROMANS 6:23 For The Wages Of Sin Is Death; But The Gift Of God Is Eternal Life Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.
(7) WHY WAS HE RAISED AGAIN?
ROMANS 4:25 Who Was Delivered For Our Offences, And Was Raised Again For Our Justification.
1 CORINTHIANS 15:17 And If Christ Be Not Raised, Your Faith Is Vain; Ye Are Yet In Your Sins.
ROMANS 7:4 Wherefore, My Brethren, Ye Also Are Become Dead To The Law By The Body Of Christ; That Ye Should Be Married To Another, Even To Him Who Is Raised From The Dead, That We Should Bring Forth Fruit Unto God.
1 THESSALONIANS 1:10 And To Wait For His Son From Heaven, Whom He Raised From The Dead, Even Jesus, Which Delivered Us From The Wrath To Come.
ACTS 2:31-32 HE SEEING THIS BEFORE SPAKE OF THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST, THAT HIS SOUL WAS NOT LEFT IN HELL, NEITHER HIS FLESH DID SEE CORRUPTION. THIS JESUS HATH GOD RAISED UP, WHEREOF WE ALL ARE WITNESSES.
(8) WHO ALL SAW HIM ALIVE AGAIN?
ACTS 10:40 Him God Raised Up The Third Day, And Shewed Him Openly;
1 CORINTHIANS 15:3-8 For I Delivered Unto You First Of All That Which I Also Received, How That CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS According To The Scriptures; And That He Was Buried, And That He Rose Again The Third Day According To The Scriptures: And That He Was Seen Of Cephas, Then Of The Twelve: After That, He Was Seen Of Above Five Hundred Brethren At Once; Of Whom The Greater Part Remain Unto This Present, But Some Are Fallen Asleep. After That, He Was Seen Of James; Then Of All The Apostles. And Last Of All He Was Seen Of Me Also, As Of One Born Out Of Due Time.
(9) WHY DID HE ASCEND AND WHERE IS HE NOW?
EPHESIANS 4:8-10 Wherefore He Saith, When He Ascended Up On High, He Led Captivity Captive, And Gave Gifts Unto Men. (Now That He Ascended, What Is It But That He Also Descended First Into The Lower Parts Of The Earth? He That Descended Is The Same Also That Ascended Up Far Above All Heavens, That He Might Fill All Things.)
MARK 16:19 So Then After The Lord Had Spoken Unto Them, He Was Received Up Into Heaven, And Sat On The Right Hand Of God.
LUKE 24:51 And It Came To Pass, While He Blessed Them, He Was Parted From Them, And Carried Up Into Heaven.
John 6:62 What And If Ye Shall See The Son Of Man Ascend Up Where He Was Before?
ROMANS 8:34 WHO IS HE THAT CONDEMNETH? IT IS CHRIST THAT DIED, YEA RATHER, THAT IS RISEN AGAIN, WHO IS EVEN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, WHO ALSO MAKETH INTERCESSION FOR US.
HEBREWS 7:25 WHEREFORE HE IS ABLE ALSO TO SAVE THEM TO THE UTTERMOST THAT COME UNTO GOD BY HIM, SEEING HE EVER LIVETH TO MAKE INTERCESSION FOR THEM.
ROMANS 5:10-11 FOR IF, WHEN WE WERE ENEMIES, WE WERE RECONCILED TO GOD BY THE DEATH OF HIS SON, MUCH MORE, BEING RECONCILED, WE SHALL BE SAVED BY HIS LIFE. AND NOT ONLY SO, BUT WE ALSO JOY IN GOD THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, BY WHOM WE HAVE NOW RECEIVED THE ATONEMENT.
COLOSSIANS 1:20-22 AND, HAVING MADE PEACE THROUGH THE BLOOD OF HIS CROSS, BY HIM TO RECONCILE ALL THINGS UNTO HIMSELF; BY HIM, I SAY, WHETHER THEY BE THINGS IN EARTH, OR THINGS IN HEAVEN. AND YOU, THAT WERE SOMETIME ALIENATED AND ENEMIES IN YOUR MIND BY WICKED WORKS, YET NOW HATH HE RECONCILED IN THE BODY OF HIS FLESH THROUGH DEATH, TO PRESENT YOU HOLY AND UNBLAMEABLE AND UNREPROVEABLE IN HIS SIGHT:
PRAISE YOU JESUS!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU ACCOMPLISHED FOR ME!!!
