“Displaying the Deity of Jesus Christ” Mark 3:7-12

TRANSCRIPT

Date: March 3, 2024 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

In Colossians 2:9, the Apostle Paul said it this way: “For in Him (Jesus Christ) dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily!” Therefore, the deity of Christ is not just an essential doctrine of the Christian Faith, it is the primary doctrine of the Christian Faith, and to compromise His absolute deity in any way, is to render the gospel of its power to save. This week, we will continue our sermon series on the Church as the Pillar and Ground of Truth. The title of this sermon is “Displaying the Deity of Jesus Christ.”

While it should concern us that 52% of all adults in America believe Jesus was nothing more than a great teacher, moral leader, and a model for men to follow, what should drive us to our knees is that 30% of those who claim to believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior agree with that statement, which means they are not saved.

God established the Church to serve as the Pillar and Ground of Truth. If there is a lack of biblical truth in our culture, there must be a deficiency of biblical truth being proclaimed by today’s churches.

However, according to a recent study, the primary message from most pulpits today is not based on the truth of the Holy Scriptures, but on the merger of multiple religious beliefs under the heading of: Moralistic Therapeutic Deism, which says:

While there are four gospels in the New Testament, and while each writer gave their account of their time with Jesus, the singular purpose for their documentaries was summed up in John 20:30-31.

Contrary to what is taught in most evangelical churches today, there is no such doctrine that says one can trust Jesus Christ as their Savior without, at the same moment, submitting unto Him as their Lord, i.e., there is no doctrine of “easy believism.”

There is no such thing as a divided Christ.

Christianity is about dying to self, and devoting ourselves to the Lordship of Christ, so much so, that our first, last, and only desire each day is to please the One who died for us, for that is the sole purpose for which He called me.
