Christ’s pre-incarnate life isn’t a theological footnote—it’s foundational. In this session, Pastor Mike defines key terms (preexistence, Christophany, theophany, epiphany) and walks through Jesus’ own claims of eternal deity (John 8, John 17, John 1, Revelation). He then tackles the “firstborn” passages by explaining prototokos in context (born first, heir, prototype) and shows why Scripture does not portray Christ as a created being. The message closes by exploring “the angel of the Lord” texts as possible pre-incarnate appearances of Christ, and briefly addresses common questions about Melchizedek—ending with recommended resources for sharpening Christology.
