p lenaRY 1 Jesus Is Lord The Great Confession of Our Faith Dr. Don L. Davis

Why are we so confused about the person of Jesus Christ?

• Jesus is acknowledged generally as a great moral teacher. • He is recognized as a central figure in a host of religious and philosophical schemes. • He is viewed in various ways in Western Christian religious systems.

Our Need Today Is to Get Clear Regarding Who Jesus Truly Is!

I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: “I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.” That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic – on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg – or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the son of God: or else a madman or something worse. ~ C. S. Lewis

Jesus Is Lord: The Great Confession of Our Faith

I. Jesus Christ Is Lord

Jesus is the recapitulation of all things. Eph. 1.9-10 – making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ [10] as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
