"Who is Jesus?" According to Matthew


Listen Later

Episode #7: Matthew – Who is Jesus? 1. Jesus, the Creator of the Universe
  • Jesus was not just a man—He is the Creator.
    • "Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made." (John 1:3)
    • Jesus is the Word of God made flesh (John 1:14).
    • He existed before time and was actively involved in creation (Colossians 1:16-17).
2. The Fall of Man and the Loss of Relationship
  • Adam lost our ability to have a pure relationship with God (Genesis 3:8-10).
    • Sin caused separation from God's presence and intimacy.
    • The curse of sin resulted in death, suffering, and broken fellowship.
  • Jesus restored our relationship with God (Romans 5:18-19).
    • Through Jesus' sacrifice, we are reconciled to God.
    • Now, we can experience direct communion with Him again (Hebrews 4:16).
3. Jesus Brings Order to Chaos
  • In creation, God spoke, and order came out of chaos (Genesis 1:1-3).
  • Jesus does the same in our lives:
    • He brings peace in storms (Mark 4:39).
    • He brings healing to the broken (Isaiah 61:1-3).
    • He brings clarity to confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33).
  • Without Jesus, our lives remain in spiritual disorder.
4. The Power of the Spoken Word of God
  • Adam and Eve had the spoken word of God.
    • They knew God's command but didn't use it as their weapon.
    • When Satan twisted God's words, they listened instead of resisting (Genesis 3:1-6).
  • Jesus used the Word of God to defeat Satan.
    • In the wilderness, Jesus fought temptation by speaking Scripture (Matthew 4:1-11).
    • "It is written..." was His response every time Satan attacked.
  • If Adam and Eve had done what Jesus did, Satan would have had to leave.
    • The power to overcome temptation was always there—but they failed to use it.
    • This teaches us that victory is in the Word of God when we declare it with faith.
Final Thoughts
  • Jesus is the Creator, the Restorer, and the Word Made Flesh.
  • He redeemed what Adam lost, bringing us back into a right relationship with God.
  • When we use God's Word, we walk in the same victory that Jesus demonstrated.
  • Satan's only power is deception—and the Word of God is our greatest weapon.
