Who is Jesus to you? Some say a good man, a good teacher or the Messiah. The Bible tells us He is the marked out Son of God in power who came into the world to bring Salvation to all mankind. The Gospel is a message of good news about the Lord Jesus who is able to save us from our sins by the work He completed at the Calvary’s cross.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Matthew 16:13-17 “13 But when Jesus was come into the parts of Caesarea-Philippi, he demanded of his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?14 And they said, Some, John the baptist; and others, Elias; and others again, Jeremias or one of the prophets.15 He says to them, But *ye*, who do ye say that I am?

16 And Simon Peter answering said, *Thou* art the Christ, the Son of the living God.17 And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood has not revealed [it] to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.”

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

John 8:1-11 “But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them.3 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring [to him] a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,4 they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in the very act, committing adultery.

5 Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou therefore, what sayest thou?6 But this they said proving him, that they might have [something] to accuse him [of]. But Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his finger on the ground.7 But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast the stone at her.8 And again stooping down he wrote on the ground.9 But they, having heard [that], went out one by one beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing there.

10 And Jesus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Has no one condemned thee?11 And she said, No one, sir. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”

Matthew 26:56-66 “56 But all this is come to pass that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him and fled.57 Now they that had seized Jesus led [him] away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.58 And Peter followed him at a distance, even to the palace of the high priest, and entering in sat with the officers to see the end.

59 And the chief priests and the elders and the whole sanhedrim sought false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death.60 And they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. But at the last two false witnesses came forward61 and said, *He* said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and in three days build it.62 And the high priest standing up said to him, Answerest thou nothing? What do these witness against thee?

63 But Jesus was silent. And the high priest answering said to him, I adjure thee by the living God that thou tell us if *thou* art the Christ the Son of God.64 Jesus says to him, *Thou* hast said. Moreover, I say to you, From henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has blasphemed: what need have we any more of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy.66 What think ye? And they answering said, He is liable to the penalty of death.”

Luke 23:32-34 “32 Now two others also, malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.33 And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

Mark 16:5-7 “5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right, clothed in a white robe, and they were amazed and alarmed;6 but he says to them, Be not alarmed. Ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene, the crucified one. He is risen, he is not here; behold the place where they had put him.7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, he goes before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him, as he said to you.”

16 *I* Jesus have sent mine angel to testify these things to you in the assemblies. *I* am the root and offspring of David, the bright [and] morning star.17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.

Acts 16:23-31 “23 And having laid many stripes upon them they cast [them] into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely;24 who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and secured their feet to the stocks.25 And at midnight Paul and Silas, in praying, were praising God with singing, and the prisoners listened to them.26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison shook, and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all loosed.

27 And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword was going to kill himself, thinking the prisoners had fled.28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.29 And having asked for lights, he rushed in, and, trembling, fell down before Paul and Silas.30 And leading them out said, Sirs, what must I do that I may be saved?31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.”

Luke 23:39-43 “39 Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost *thou* too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment?

41 and *we* indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this [man] has done nothing amiss.42 And he said to Jesus, Remember me, [Lord,] when thou comest in thy kingdom.43 And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”

And behold, *I* am with you all the days, until the completion of the age.”

Jeremiah 8:20 “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.”

Acts 16:16-34 “16 And it came to pass as we were going to prayer that a certain female slave, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much profit to her masters by prophesying.17 She, having followed Paul and us, cried saying, These men are bondmen of the Most High God, who announce to you [the] way of salvation.18 And this she did many days. And Paul, being distressed, turned, and said to the spirit, I enjoin thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour.

19 And her masters, seeing that the hope of their gains was gone, having seized Paul and Silas, dragged [them] into the market before the magistrates;20 and having brought them up to the praetors, said, These men utterly trouble our city, being Jews,21 and announce customs which it is not lawful for us to receive nor practise, being Romans.22 And the crowd rose up too against them; and the praetors, having torn off their clothes, commanded to scourge [them].

23 And having laid many stripes upon them they cast [them] into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely;24 who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and secured their feet to the stocks.25 And at midnight Paul and Silas, in praying, were praising God with singing, and the prisoners listened to them.

26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison shook, and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all loosed.27 And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword was going to kill himself, thinking the prisoners had fled.28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.29 And having asked for lights, he rushed in, and, trembling, fell down before Paul and Silas.30 And leading them out said, Sirs, what must I do that I may be saved?31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, with all that were in his house.

33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed [them] from their stripes; and was baptised, he and all his straightway.34 And having brought them into his house he laid the table [for them], and rejoiced with all his house, having believed in God.

Romans 10:8-13 “8 But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from among [the] dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with [the] heart is believed to righteousness; and with [the] mouth confession made to salvation.11 For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall be ashamed.12 For there is no difference of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all [is] rich towards all that call upon him.13 For every one whosoever, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.”

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Isaiah 52:13-15 “13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently; he shall be exalted and be lifted up, and be very high.14 As many were astonished at thee—his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the children of men15 —so shall he astonish many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for what had not been told them shall they see, and what they had not heard shall they consider.”

Isaiah 53:1-12 “Who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed?2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender sapling, and as a root out of dry ground: he hath no form nor lordliness, and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.3 He is despised and left alone of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief, and like one from whom [men] hide their faces;—despised, and we esteemed him not.

4 Surely *he* hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; and we, we did regard him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.5 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.6 All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid upon him the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, but he opened not his mouth; he was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and was as a sheep dumb before her shearers, and he opened not his mouth.8 He was taken from oppression 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.9 And [men] appointed his grave with the wicked, but he was with the rich in his death, because he had done no violence, neither was there guile in his mouth.

10 Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath subjected [him] to suffering. When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see a seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.11 He shall see of [the fruit of] the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant instruct many in righteousness; and *he* shall bear their iniquities.12 Therefore will I assign 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 was reckoned with the transgressors; and he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”

Matthew 1:20-21 “20 but while he pondered on these things, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to [thee] Mary, thy wife, for that which is begotten in her is of [the] Holy Spirit.21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for *he* shall save his people from their sins.”

John 3:14-15 “14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of man be lifted up,15 that every one who believes on him may [not perish, but] have life eternal.”

John 14:1-3 “Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe on God, believe also on me.2 In my Father’s house there are many abodes; were it not so, I had told you: for I go to prepare you a place;3 and if I go and shall prepare you a place, I am coming again and shall receive you to myself, that where I am ye also may be.”

Luke 7:36-50 “36 But one of the Pharisees begged him that he would eat with him. And entering into the house of the Pharisee he took his place at table;37 and behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, and knew that he was sitting at meat in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster box of myrrh,38 and standing at his feet behind [him] weeping, began to wash his feet with tears; and she wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the myrrh.

39 And the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spoke with himself saying, This [person] if he were a prophet would have known who and what the woman is who touches him, for she is a sinner.40 And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he says, Teacher, say [it].41 There were two debtors of a certain creditor: one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty;42 but as they had nothing to pay, he forgave both of them [their debt]: [say,] which of them therefore will love him most?

43 And Simon answering said, I suppose he to whom he forgave the most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.44 And turning to the woman he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gavest me not water on my feet, but *she* has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.45 Thou gavest me not a kiss, but *she* from the time I came in has not ceased kissing my feet.

46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint, but *she* has anointed my feet with myrrh.47 For which cause I say to thee, Her many sins are forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loves little.48 And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.49 And they that were with [them] at table began to say within themselves, Who is this who forgives also sins?50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.”

Colossians 3:12-13 “12 Put on therefore, as [the] elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;13 forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any should have a complaint against any; even as the Christ has forgiven you, so also [do] *ye*.”

If we take a look around us today or even back in history we see one big barrier separating us from a holy and righteous God. That barrier is “SIN”. God knows the heart and our innermost thoughts. This sin barrier is too much for us to take on ourselves. In fact, there is no way we can remove it on our own. That is why God sent someone to REMOVE it completely, a Saviour; Jesus Christ.

33 But a certain Samaritan journeying came to him, and seeing [him], was moved with compassion,34 and came up [to him] and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and having put him on his own beast, took him to [the] inn and took care of him.35 And on the morrow [as he left], taking out two denarii he gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt expend more, *I* will render to thee on my coming back.”

Luke 15:13-23 “13 And after not many days the younger son gathering all together went away into a country a long way off, and there dissipated his property, living in debauchery.14 But when he had spent all there arose a violent famine throughout that country, and he began to be in want.

15 And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.16 And he longed to fill his belly with the husks which the swine were eating; and no one gave to him.17 And coming to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have abundance of bread, and *I* perish here by famine.

18 I will rise up and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee;19 I am no longer worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

20 And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses.21 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.

22 But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in [it], and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;23 and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:”

54 And hearing these things they were cut to the heart, and gnashed their teeth against him.55 But being full of [the] Holy Spirit, having fixed his eyes on heaven, he saw [the] glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,56 and said, Lo, I behold the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.

57 And they cried out with a loud voice, and held their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;58 and having cast [him] out of the city, they stoned [him]. And the witnesses laid aside their clothes at the feet of a young man called Saul.59 And they stoned Stephen, praying, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.60 And kneeling down, he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And having said this, he fell asleep.”

26 And he said, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said, I will saddle me the ass, and ride thereon, and go with the king; for thy servant is lame.27 And he has slandered thy servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God; do therefore what is good in thy sight.28 For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king; and thou didst set thy servant among them that eat at thine own table. What further right therefore have I? and for what should I cry any more to the king?

29 And the king said to him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.30 And Mephibosheth said to the king, Let him even take all, since my lord the king is come again in peace to his own house.”
