The Merciful Messiah

Image
Christ’s healing of the paralytic and his acceptance of tax collectors highlighted his mission of mercy on behalf of sinners . When Jesus pronounced the paralytic man’s sins forgiven, he offended his critics. Who could forgive sins except God? But the Son of God alienated the scribes and Pharisees further by fellowshipping with tax collectors and other “sinners” – (Mark 2:1-17).

El Mesías Misericordioso

La curación de Cristo del paralítico y su aceptación de los recaudadores de impuestos resaltaron su misión de misericordia en favor de los pecadores . Cuando Jesús pronunció que los pecados del paralítico eran perdonados, ofendió a sus críticos. ¿Quién podría perdonar pecados excepto Dios? Pero el Hijo de Dios alejó aún más a los escribas y fariseos al tener comunión con publicanos y otros “pecadores” – (Marcos 2:1-17).

The Servant's Path

Jesus rejected Satan’s offer of unlimited political power and chose the way of the Servant and the Cross - Matthew 4:8-11. The Devil tempted Jesus by offering him sovereignty over all the nations of the Earth. However, Christ, the Messiah of Israel, refused this seductive and politically pragmatic offer, and instead submitted to the path of the servant, which could only end with his death on a Roman cross.

Son, Priest and Sacrifice

Image
Jesus is the glorious Son of Man, the High Priest of his people, and the Lamb who redeemed us by his blood  – Revelation 1:9-20. Jesus is the faithful High Priest who oversees the churches of Asia. He is the exalted Son of Man who will return at the end of the age to gather and vindicate his saints. And he is the reigning Lamb who purchased men and women by his blood and made them priests for his God.

The Son of Man Returns

Jesus will arrive on the clouds of heaven to gather his saints to his presence, and to judge and punish the wicked . Jesus will arrive “ on the clouds of heaven ,” as promised in the Scriptures. The coming of the Son of Man will result in the completion of the Kingdom of God, the end of death itself, the gathering of the saints to be with Jesus, the arrival of the New Creation, and the final judgment of men and nations.

The Guarantee of our Resurrection

Image
The covenant with Abraham is fulfilled in Jesus, including the possession of the Earth, the gift of the Spirit, and our Resurrection - Romans 8:1-30. In his Epistle to the Romans , Paul presents Abraham as the great exemplar of faith. God accounted the Patriarch’s faith as righteousness when he was still uncircumcised. This means that he was declared righteous without the deeds and rituals required by the Torah .
