JESUS CHRIST: WHO IS THIS MAN. (Part 2)

​Matthew 16:15-16 ESV  He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”  (16)  Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Colossians 1:13-19 ESV  He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son,  (14)  in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.  (15)  He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.  (16)  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.  (17)  And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.  (18)  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.  (19)  For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,

Jesus was raised from the dead with a glorified body. This signified His supreme Lordship over death, the grave and sin. Our physical and spiritual death was the natural result of our separation from God through sin. Our Lord settled this once and for all for all who will believe.

We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus Christ to heaven, His exaltation as Lord to the right hand of the Father, and His literal, physical return the second time for a glorious Church. Jesus now reigns as the immortal, invisible King who will one day establish His rule on earth at the appointed time.
