Isaiah 9:6 TLB
For unto us a child is born; unto us a son is given; and the
government shall be upon his shoulder. These will be his royal titles:
“Wonderful,” “Counselor,” “The Mighty God,” “The Everlasting
Father,” “The Prince of Peace.”
Colossians 1:15-20 NIV
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all
creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on
earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or
authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He
is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the
head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn
from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the
supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,
and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on
earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed
on the cross.
Jesus is:
• God made flesh.
• The power of creation.
• The goal of creation.
• The glue of creation.
• The leader of the church.
• The source of our redemption and resurrection.
• The One who puts everything in its place.
• Supreme over everything.
John 8:56-58 NIV
“Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he
saw it and was glad.” “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to
him, “and you have seen Abraham!” “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus
answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
Philippians 2:7-8 NIV
…he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a
man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even
death on a cross!
Philippians 2:9-11 NIV
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the
name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every
knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and
every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of
God the Father.
Revelation 19:11-16 NIV
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse,
whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and
wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many
crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he
himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the
Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on
white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Coming out
of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations.
“He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of
the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he
has this name written: King of kings and Lord of lords.
What Jesus’ Extraordinary Power Means to Us:
- Jesus is both Savior and LORD.
“There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human
existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry,
‘Mine!’” — Abraham Kuyper - We get the most out of this!
- We have a powerful God who is FOR US!
Ephesians 3:20-21 NIV
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or
imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be
glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for
ever and ever! Amen.
