9 Romans 5:10 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

10 This is a BIG Problem remember that you were at that time separate from Christ

11 What we needed But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. (Eph. 2:13) This happened First in the Incarnation itself!

13 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which translated means, “God with us.” Isaiah 7:14 & Matthew 1:23

14 The Names Immanuel means “God With Us” Jesus (Yeshua) means “To Save”

16 The Works of Jesus The Seven Signs

17 Two Terms Synoptics Gospels (Matt., Mark, Luke) John Miracle dunamis
Sign seimion

18 Marks of a “sign” (1) Is a given work performed by Jesus as part of his public ministry? (2) Is an event explicitly identified as a “sign” in John’s Gospel? (3) Does the event, with its concomitant symbolism, point to God’s glory displayed in Jesus, thus revealing Jesus as God’s true representative?

19 Sections in John Book of Signs: 1-12 Book of Glory: 13-21

20 The Seven Signs of John Sign Meaning Better Covenant/ purification
(1) The turning of water into wine at the wedding in Cana (2:1–11) (2) Clearing the Temple (2:13-25) (3) The healing of the official’s son (4:46–54) (4) The healing of the lame man (5:1–15) (5) The feeding of the multitude (6:1–15) (6) The healing of the man born blind (chap. 9) (7) The raising of Lazarus (chap. 11) Better Covenant/ purification Purity in Worship/ Jesus is the Place God’s glory displayed in Jesus Christ is the Bread of Life Sickness not of this world Christ is the resurrection and the Life

21 The Miracles 4 Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you hear and see: 5 the blind receive sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 6 “And blessed is he who does not take offense at Me.” Matthew 11:4-6 TRULY THE MIRACLES EXISTED TO POINT US TO HIM, BUT . . .

22 The miracles and signs and EVERYTHING exist to explain Him . . .
LUKE 24:27 THE STRANGER ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS

23 The Works of Jesus The Cross

24 He was “lifted up” The OT connection is Numbers 21:1-9
The “lifted up” has a double-meaning: Crucifixion Exaltation John 3:11-15 John 8:21-30 John 12:27-43

25 The Death/Life Seam: Romans 5:10
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

26 The Works of Jesus The Resurrection

27 The Resurrection 1 Corinthians 15 Christ really . . .
1-2: The Gospel named 3-11: The Gospel “event” told 12-19: Resurrection must be real 20-28: The details of resurrection 29-57: The qualities of resurrection 58:The encouragement of resurrection Christ really . . . Lived Died Rose from the Dead The resurrection is empirical - verifiable The resurrection affects us The resurrection is what everything hangs on – everything (15:14 &17)

28 1 Corinthians 15:17 “. . . and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.”

29 Truly . . . It was life that we were given back That is, sin separated us from God – killed us. We were meant to live.
