Notes of talk...
Born in a shed... ruling the world… How do you account for Jesus?
In the beginning… Christ was there. John 1:1-3
God and His Son Christ decided to set a man – ADAM – as king over the world.
But the Eternal King was promised to be born – Genesis 3:15
Offspring – Abraham… David
David – Made King, Crushes Oppressor
Solomon – Psalm 72
This King sounds a bit like Solomon – v8, 10
This King sounds much bigger than Solomon – v11, 5, 4, 6, 17
JUST (v1-3) and GENTLE (v4, 12-14)
Romans 10:9 - Who do you say Jesus is?
.
In principle (altruistically) and in practice (according to the Spirit), Jesus is LORD with absolute powers over death and life. (Matt. 16:18; 27: 50-56)
