Three Offices of the Anointed One
Prophet Foretells Forth-tells
Jesus as Our Prophet Jesus is God’s word to Us in flesh and blood to Make God known (John 1:14 & 18; Heb 1:1)
He still makes God known through His Messengers (2 Corinthians 5:20)

Three Kingdoms Kingdom of Power – World Kingdom of Grace – Church on Earth Kingdom of Glory – Church in Heaven
Jesus is our King (Matthew 28:18-20; Ephesians 1:20-22

Kingdoms of Jesus on Earth
Left Hand – Power (Romans 13) All People belong to
Kingdom Purpose – Civil order in
society Means – Law Mediators – parents,
government, army, policy, teachers all in authority
Established in 4th commandment
Right Hand – Grace (Ephesians 1:18-22) Believers in Christ on
Earth Purpose – Salvation Means – forgiveness of
sins offered in preaching of Word and Administration of Sacraments

Two Natures
At Christmas We Celebrate that in one Person the Divine Nature (Conceived by Holy Spirit) and the Human nature (Born of the Virgin Mary) are united, never to be divided again.
Jesus is both God and Man – the perfect bridge between God and Man (John 1:1 and 14; Galatians 4:4ff)
![Page 9: Faith 101 Discovering the Faith Lesson 4: The Person and Work of Jesus Christ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d4b5503460f94a28828/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
And Yet One Person
He is as fully God as God the Father and the Holy Spirit.
He is as fully human as you or I. Not a 50-50 Split Not a Multiple Personality Disorder Indivisible. Christ is forever a real human
person, even now in heaven. Like the Trinity, this doesn’t have to make
sense to be true.

Jesus the God/Man in One Person
He had to be man so He could die, so He could stand in our place He had to be God so He could be without sin and rise again He had to be both to be the perfect bridge
between God and man
![Page 11: Faith 101 Discovering the Faith Lesson 4: The Person and Work of Jesus Christ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d4b5503460f94a28828/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
State of Humiliation
Not in becoming a man That as a man Jesus does not insist on
rights and powers of God (Philippians 2:5-8) Presents Christ the Victim 5 Steps (in the Apostle’s Creed)
Conceived by Holy Spirit Born of Virgin Mary Suffered Under Pontius Pilate Crucified, Dead and Buried
![Page 12: Faith 101 Discovering the Faith Lesson 4: The Person and Work of Jesus Christ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d4b5503460f94a28828/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Christ is our Substitute
He takes our place in life – active obedience He lives a perfect life in our place (Matthew 4, Matt 12:29; Hebrews 4:14-15; Hebrews 5:7-9)
He takes our place in death – passive obedience He pays the price for our sins by His death (Luke 22:39-42; Romans 4:25)
![Page 13: Faith 101 Discovering the Faith Lesson 4: The Person and Work of Jesus Christ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d4b5503460f94a28828/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Death on a Cross
Crucifixion is a
terrible way to die
Real suffering of
the Cross is Spiritual
![Page 14: Faith 101 Discovering the Faith Lesson 4: The Person and Work of Jesus Christ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d4b5503460f94a28828/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
He Died for all, the Righteous for the unrighteous Jesus is the
scapegoat
Jesus is the Lamb without blemish or spot who takes away the sin of the world (1 Peter 1:18-19; John 1:29)
Jesus is the suffering servant Isaiah foresaw in Isaiah 53
![Page 15: Faith 101 Discovering the Faith Lesson 4: The Person and Work of Jesus Christ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d4b5503460f94a28828/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
State of Exaltation
Not that He is God That as Man He now Shares in the glory
and power of God (Philippians 2:9-11)
Presents Christ the Victor! 5 Steps (in the Apostle’s Creed)
Descended into Hell Rose again the third day Ascended into Heaven Sits at God’s right Hand Comes again to judge

Which is More Important?
Good Friday and Easter
Can’t be separated
The Christian faith
stands or falls based on
what happens that weekend
![Page 17: Faith 101 Discovering the Faith Lesson 4: The Person and Work of Jesus Christ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d4b5503460f94a28828/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Who is Jesus?
Just a good person, a wise teacher?
A Liar?
A Lunatic?
Our Lord?

Christ’s Resurrection Shows
Jesus is the Son of God
His teaching is the truth
God accepted the sacrifice of his Son for the world
All shall rise
![Page 19: Faith 101 Discovering the Faith Lesson 4: The Person and Work of Jesus Christ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d4b5503460f94a28828/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
As God and Man Jesus Now Reigns over all This is the meaning of His
ascension and being seated at God’s right hand
Right Hand of God = God exercises all his power through Jesus
God has given Him as Head over everything for
the church (Eph. 1)
We have a Lord and King in Heaven who has walked
in our shoes (Hebrews 4:14-16)
![Page 20: Faith 101 Discovering the Faith Lesson 4: The Person and Work of Jesus Christ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d4b5503460f94a28828/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Jesus alone is Qualified to Judge us
He is God He is man – yet
without sin He paid the price All that condemns is
unbelief (Matthew 25)
As judge Jesus is truly the victor
comfort for believer and terror for unbeliever
