Some of His Credentials

 

 

SINLESS:

 

          Jesus’ caliber of life was such that he was able to challenge his enemies with the question, “Which of you can prove me guilty of sin?” Jn. 8:46 - The challenge of course was met by silence.

 

Paul, who studied the law most of his life said, “He that knew no sin, became sin for us.” 2 Cor. 5:21

 

John, his beloved disciple said, “In him is no sin” 1 Jn. 3:5

 

Pilot, Procreator of Judea said, “I find no fault in him” Jn 18:38

 

Jesus Was Indeed Sinless!

 

 

DEMONSTRATED POWER OVER NATURAL FORCES:

 

Jesus

-         Stilled the raging storm by saying, “Peace be still”.  This provoked a question even among the disciples – “What manner of man is this that even the wind and the sea obey him. Mk 4:41

-         Turned water into wine

-         Fed 5,000 men, not to mention women and children, with 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread

-         Gave a grieving widow back her son by raising him from the dead

-         Brought to life the daughter of a shattered father

-         To an old friend he said, “Lazarus, come forth!” and he came forth from the grave after 4 days.  His enemies didn’t even deny this miracle.  Rather they tried to kill him. “If we let him alone, everyone will believe in him” Jn. 11:48

-         He made the lame to walk, dumb to speak and the blind to see – The blind man couldn’t answer all the questions posed to him but he said, “One thing I do know.  I was blind but now I see!”

 

Isn’t Jesus Awesome!  Don’t confuse the matter – He’s in a class all by Himself!
