Apostles' Creed Pt. 3: And in Jesus Christ, His Only Son, Our Lord

Hope Fellowship Church Jun 24 – 30, 2018 ========== The Apostles' Creed: And in Jesus Christ, His Only Son, Our Lord The Apostles' Creed ========== "I believe in God the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended to hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and sits on the right hand of the Father almighty, from whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting, amen." Matthew 16:13-16 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" And they said, "Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 1. You are the Christ. Christos 2. You are the unique Son of God. a. Jesus is the unique Son of God in that He is co-eternal with God the Father. b. Jesus is the unique Son of God in that He walks in a distinct authority. c. Jesus is the unique Son of God in his proximity to the Father. 3. You are the Lord. Symmetry A desire to desire. We need to grow in our understanding that in His kingly reign He is a tender, loving sovereign. Clarity Community John 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Counsel Colossians 1:15-20 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
