In this episode of the "Knowing Jesus" series, we shift the focus from Christ’s glorified nature to the practical, lived-out example He set while on earth. If Jesus's only purpose was to save us for heaven, we would have been called home the moment we believed. Instead, Jesus came to show us how to live as God’s "image-bearers" on the earth.

Jesus is described as the "mirror image" and the "exact expression" of God’s true nature. In this study, we explore how His life serves as the ultimate blueprint for the believer’s daily conduct, authority, and identity. When we look at Jesus, we aren't just seeing a historical figure; we are seeing the original intent for humanity restored.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

The Original Intent: Understanding how Jesus restored the image of God in man that was lost in Genesis 1 and 3.

The Example of Knowledge: Why Jesus prioritised knowing the Scriptures from a young age and how that knowledge empowered Him to fulfil God’s will.

Fulfilling All Righteousness: A look at why Jesus insisted on baptism and other scriptural requirements as a model of obedience for us.

Weaponising the Word: Learning from Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness on how to use "It is written" to separate "good" ideas from "God" ideas.

The Father’s Agenda: How Jesus’ total surrender in Gethsemane serves as our example for prioritising God’s will over our own personal desires.

The Boldness of Sonship: Why Jesus was unapologetic about His identity as the Son of God and how we can walk in that same boldness today.

Jesus didn't just come to give us a ticket to heaven; He came to show us how to bring heaven to earth. Join us as we begin to unpack the life of our Living Example.
