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.
