He'd Still Been God

Even without the resurrection and the proofs of a dead man made alive, Jesus would have still been God!

1. We face a number of crises.

We face an authority crisis.

We face a moral crisis.

“A society that is indifferent to its moral and spiritual life is indifferent to its future.”

As a result, we face a guilt crisis.

We face a crisis of hope.

2. Jesus confronted those crises.

Facing an authority crisis, Jesus taught with authority.

Facing a moral crisis, Jesus lived a perfect life.

Heb 4:15 (NIV) Speaking of Jesus....For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin.

2 Cor 5:21 (NIV) God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Facing a guilt crisis, Jesus forgave sin.

This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 1 Timothy 1:15, KJ21

Facing a hope crisis, Jesus lives!

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. -Rev 1:17-18 ESV
