Jesus - The Anointed One (notes)

Jesus - The Anointed One

Who Is Jesus?

The Book of Revelation unveils Jesus Christ.
Revelation means uncovering or disclosure.
Jesus is the Anointed One, the Messiah.

Jesus

• Is the One who is among the lamp stands (churches). (Revelation 1:12)
• Is the Head of the church, the Founder.
• Is the Foundation of our faith.

Jesus Christ is dressed in a robe with a golden sash around His chest. He dresses us in robes of righteousness and the gold around His chest represents the purity of heart (motives). Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.

Characteristics of Jesus Christ:

1. His head and hair were white like wool. This is the glory of God that is in Jesus.
2. His eyes were like blazing fire--the penetrating eyes of the holiness of God.
3. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace. This is represented of Jesus going to hell for us (His death) the bronze altar is where the body of the sacrificial animals were burned.

Jesus

• His voice was like the sound of rushing waters. His word is so powerful that it is like a water fall.
• He holds the seven stars in His right hand. These are pastors of the churches.
• Out of His mouth goes a sharp sword. His Word is alive. (Heb. 4:12)
• His face shines like the sun. His glory is like a shield.

I Am Alive And hold the keys of death and hell.

Jesus Is The Only Way man can get to God, there is no other way. Some are trying to convince the world that there are other ways to God but Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father but by Me.” John 14:6

Jesus Asked His followers who He was.

• They said, some say, John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.
• But what about you?
• Peter responds. You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.

Jesus Said:

• I have all power; I am the Almighty God with all the power to change this world, to change you, to change your city, your church, your nation.
• I can change any situation; I can heal any sickness or any family problem.

Christmas

• Talks about the birth of Jesus as the Savior of the world.
• Is more than shepherds, the star in the east, the wise men, and the manger.
• Is about the fulfillment of the prophecies in the Bible that talked about His coming to redeem us back to God.

Application

• Jesus said to Peter
• This was not revealed to you by man but by My Father in heaven.
• I will build My church
• The powers of hell will not stop it.

Matthew 16

I will give you Kingdom keys.
What ever you bind on earth is bound in heaven
Whatever you loose on earth is loosed in Heaven.

I John 1:5-7

God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
If we claim to have fellowship with Him and walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.
