The Doctrine of Christ

THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST
“The two characters of history about whom more
books have been written and more words spoken
then others, are Napoleon and Jesus Christ. But
what a contrast between these two men who-more
than all others-have engrossed the mind of man!
Napoleon shed rivers of blood upon which to float
this ambitions. The only blood the other shed was
His own, which He poured out upon the cross, for
the redemption of mankind.” – Dr. Macartney

“I know men, and I tell you, Jesus is not a man.
He commands us to believe, and gives no
other reason that His lawful word, I am God.
Philosophers try to solve the mysteries of the
universe by their empty dissertations: fools:
they are like the infant that cries, to have the
moon as a plaything. Christ never hesitates.
He speaks with authority…

… His religion is a mystery: but it subsists by its
own force. He seeks, and absolutely requires
the love of men, the most difficult thing in the
world to claim. Alexander, Caesar, Hannibal,
conquered the world but they had no friends…

… I founded His empire on love: and at this
hour abyss between my misery and the eternal
kingdom of Christ, who is proclaimed, loved,
adored and which is extending all over the
earth. Is this death? I tell you, the death of
Christ is the death of a God. I tell you, Jesus
Christ is God.”

John 21:24-25
24 This is the disciple who testifies to these
things and who wrote them down. We know
that his testimony is true. 25 Jesus did many
other things as well. If every one of them were
written down, I suppose that even the whole
world would not have room for the books that
would be written.

Jesus Christ is:
• Promised Messiah
• Saviour of the World
• Founder of Christianity
• Lord and head of the Christian church
• The complete revelation of God to man

I. HIS PAST MANIFESTATION
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and
the earth.

John 1:1-3
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was
with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all
things were made; without him nothing was
made that has been made.

John 8:58
“Before Abraham was, I am.”

righteousness will rise with healing in its rays.

39 You study the Scriptures diligently because you
think that in them you have eternal life. These
are the very Scriptures that testify about me…

27 And beginning with Moses and all the
Prophets, he explained to them what was said in
all the Scriptures concerning himself.

Luke 24:27, 44-45
44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I
was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that
is written about me in the Law of Moses, the
Prophets and the Psalms.” 45 Then he opened their
minds so they could understand the Scriptures.

Hebrews 10:7
7 Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in
the scroll—I have come to do your will, my God.’

him.

was about noon.

HIS TWO NATURES

35 Jesus wept.

HIS TWO NATURES
Hebrews 2:10
10 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory,
it was fitting that God, for whom and through
whom everything exists, should make the pioneer
of their salvation perfect through what he
suffered.

tempted, he is able to help those who are being
tempted.

HIS TWO NATURES

offered up prayers and petitions with fervent
cries and tears to the one who could save him
from death, and he was heard because of his
reverent submission.

HIS TWO NATURES
Hebrews 5:8
8 Son though he was, he learned obedience from
what he suffered…

HIS DEITY
Isaiah 9:6
6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of
Peace.

by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all
things, and through whom also he made the
universe...

HIS DEITY
Hebrews 1:1-3
... 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and
the exact representation of his being, sustaining
all things by his powerful word. After he had
provided purification for sins, he sat down at
the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

CHRIST WAS SINLESS
Hebrews 4:15
15 For we do not have a high priest who is
unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but
we have one who has been tempted in every
way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.

CHRIST WAS SINLESS
Luke 1:35
35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will

born will be called the Son of God.”

5 But you know that he appeared so that he
might take away our sins. And in him is no sin.

CHRIST WAS SINLESS
Matthew 27:4
4 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed

one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart
from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

CHRIST WAS SINLESS
Hebrews 9:14
14 How much more, then, will the blood of
Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered
himself unblemished to God, cleanse our
consciences from acts that lead to death, so
that we may serve the living God!

CHRIST WAS SINLESS

22 “He committed no sin, and no deceit was
found in his mouth.”

CHRIST WAS SINLESS

21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for
us, so that in him we might become the

None of the ransomed even knew
How deep were the waters crossed,

through
Ere He found the sheep that was lost.

HIS DEATH

bridegroom mourn while he is with them? The
time will come when the bridegroom will be

21 From that time on Jesus began to explain to his

must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.

HIS DEATH
Matthew 17:22-23
22 When they came together in Galilee, he said to

disciples were filled with grief.

HIS DEATH
Matthew 20:18-19
18 “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of
Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and

death 19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be
mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day
he will be raised to life!”

HIS DEATH
Luke 9:22
22 And he said, “The Son of Man must suffer
many things and be rejected by the elders, the
chief priests and the teachers of the law, and
he must be killed and on the third day be
raised to life.”

HIS DEATH
Luke 18:31-33
31 Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them,
“We are going up to Jerusalem, and
everything that is written by the prophets
about the Son of Man will be fulfilled…

HIS DEATH
Luke 18:31-33

They will mock him, insult him and spit on him;
33 they will flog him and kill him. On the third

one and only Son, that whoever believes in
him shall not perish but have eternal life.

it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my

me.”

HIS DEATH

27 “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say?

have glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

HIS DEATH

31 When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of
Man is glorified and God is glorified in him.”

HIS DEATH
Romans 5:6
6 You see, at just the right time, when we were
still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose
again, and so we believe that God will bring
with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in
him.

HIS DEATH
Philippians 2:13
13 for it is God who works in you to will and to
act in order to fulfill his good purpose.

HIS DEATH
Colossians 1:4
4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ
Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s
people—

HIS RESURRECTION
“Christianity is a religion of miracle, and the
miracle of Christ’s Resurrection is the living
center and object of Christian faith.”

HIS RESURRECTION
“The Doctrine of the Resurrection is of
primary value for on it all the doctrines of
grace depend.”

HIS RESURRECTION
1 Corinthians 15:14-17
14 And if Christ has not been raised, our
preaching is useless and so is your faith.
15 More than that, we are then found to be
false witnesses about God, for we have
testified about God that he raised Christ from
the dead.

HIS RESURRECTION
... But he did not raise him if in fact the dead
are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised,
then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if
Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile;
you are still in your sins.

HIS RESURRECTION
Romans 10:8-9
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you;
it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is,
the message concerning faith that we
proclaim: …

HIS RESURRECTION
Romans 10:8-9
… 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is
Lord,” and believe in your heart that God
raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

HIS RESURRECTION
Acts 4:2
2 They were greatly disturbed because the
apostles were teaching the people,
proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the
dead.

HIS RESURRECTION
Acts 5:20
20 “Go, stand in the temple courts,” he said,
“and tell the people all about this new life.”

HIS RESURRECTION
Romans 1:4
4 … and who through the Spirit of holiness was
appointed the Son of God in power by his
resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our
Lord.

HIS RESURRECTION
17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith
is futile; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those
also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.

HIS RESURRECTION
It was the subject of prophesy.

HIS RESURRECTION
Psalm 16:10-11
10 because you will not abandon me to the
realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful
one see decay.

HIS RESURRECTION
Acts 13:32-37
32 “We tell you the good news: What God
promised our ancestors 33 he has fulfilled for
us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is
written in the second Psalm: “‘You are my son;
today I have become your father.’…

HIS RESURRECTION
Acts 13:32-37
… 34 God raised him from the dead so that he
will never be subject to decay. As God has said,
“‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings
promised to David.’ 35 So it is also stated
elsewhere:…

HIS RESURRECTION
Acts 13:32-37
… “‘You will not let your holy one see decay.’
36 “Now when David had served God’s purpose
in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was
buried with his ancestors and his body
decayed.

HIS RESURRECTION
Acts 13:32-37
… 37 But the one whom God raised from the
dead did not see decay.’

HIS RESURRECTION
Matthew 16:21
21 From that time on Jesus began to explain to his
disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer
many things at the hands of the elders, the chief
priests and the teachers of the law, and that he
must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.

HIS RESURRECTION
Matthew 17:-23
23 They will kill him, and on the third day he
will be raised to life.” And the disciples were
filled with grief.

HIS RESURRECTION
Mark 8:31
31 He then began to teach them that the Son of
Man must suffer many things and be rejected
by the elders, the chief priests and the
teachers of the law, and that he must be killed
and after three days rise again.

HIS RESURRECTION
John 20:8
8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached
the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and
believed.

HIS RESURRECTION
Luke 24:11
11 But they did not believe the women, because
their words seemed to them like nonsense.

HIS RESURRECTION
John 20:13-15
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you
crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she
said, “and I don’t know where they have put
him.”…

HIS RESURRECTION
John 20:13-15
… 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus
standing there, but she did not realize that it
was Jesus. 15 He asked her, “Woman, why are
you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”…

HIS RESURRECTION
John 20:13-15
… Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir,
if you have carried him away, tell me where
you have put him, and I will get him.”

HIS RESURRECTION
Luke 24:34
34 … and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen
and has appeared to Simon.”

HIS RESURRECTION
Acts 10:40-41
40 but God raised him from the dead on the third
day and caused him to be seen. 41 He was not
seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom
God had already chosen—by us who ate and
drank with him after he rose from the dead.

HIS RESURRECTION
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to
the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more
than five hundred of the brothers and sisters
at the same time, most of whom are still
living, though some have fallen asleep…

HIS RESURRECTION
… 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the
apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me
also, as to one abnormally born.

The existence of the Church
confirms the Resurrection.

HIS RESURRECTION
1 Corinthians 15:20
20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the
dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen
asleep.

HIS RESURRECTION
Colossians 1:18
18 And he is the head of the body, the church;
he is the beginning and the firstborn from
among the dead, so that in everything he
might have the supremacy.

HIS RESURRECTION
Revelation 1:5
5 … and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful
witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the
ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who
loves us and has freed us from our sins by his
blood…

HIS RESURRECTION
44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a
spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there
is also a spiritual body. 45 So it is written: “The
first man Adam became a living being”; the
last Adam, a life-giving spirit.

1. It was a declaration of the Father that
Christ met all the requirements of the
law.
Philippians 2:9
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest
place and gave him the name that is above
every name…

2. It symbolized the justification,
regeneration and final resurrection of
believers.

Romans 6:4-5, 9
4 We were therefore buried with him through
baptism into death in order that, just as Christ
was raised from the dead through the glory of
the Father, we too may live a new life. 5 For if
we have been united with him in a death like
his, we will certainly also be united with him in
a resurrection like his.

1 Corinthians 6:14
14 By his power God raised the Lord from the
dead, and he will raise us also.

20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the
dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen
asleep. 21 For since death came through a
man, the resurrection of the dead comes also
through a man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in
Christ all will be made alive.

3. It was the cause of our justification,
regeneration and resurrection.
Romans 4:25
25 He was delivered over to death for our sins
and was raised to life for our justification.

Romans 5:10
10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we
were reconciled to him through the death of
his Son, how much more, having been
reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!

1 Peter 1:3
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us
new birth into a living hope through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

HIS ASCENSION
Romans 8:34
34 Who then is the one who condemns? No
one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that,
who was raised to life—is at the right hand of
God and is also interceding for us.

HIS ASCENSION
Ephesians 1:20
20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the
dead and seated him at his right hand in the
heavenly realms….

HIS ASCENSION
Ephesians 4:8
8 This is why it says: “When he ascended on
high, he took many captives and gave gifts to
his people.”

HIS ASCENSION
1 Timothy 3:10
10 They must first be tested; and then if there is
nothing against them, let them serve as
deacons.

HIS ASCENSION
Hebrews 4:14
14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest
who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son
of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we
profess.

HIS ASCENSION
Hebrews 10:12
12 But when this priest had offered for all time
one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right
hand of God.

HIS ASCENSION
Matthew 26:64
64 “You have said so,” Jesus replied. “But I say
to all of you: From now on you will see the Son
of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty
One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

HIS ASCENSION
Philippians 3:20
20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we
eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord
Jesus Christ

HIS ASCENSION
1 Thessalonians 4:16
16 For the Lord himself will come down from
heaven, with a loud command, with the voice
of the archangel and with the trumpet call of
God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

HIS ASCENSION
I Peter 3:22
22 who has gone into heaven and is at God’s
right hand—with angels, authorities and
powers in submission to him.

II. His Present Ministry
Matthew 16:18
18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this
rock I will build my church, and the gates of
Hades will not overcome it.

John 17:24
24 “Father, I want those you have given me to
be with me where I am, and to see my glory,
the glory you have given me because you
loved me before the creation of the world.

Romans 8:34
34 Who then is the one who condemns? No
one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that,
who was raised to life—is at the right hand of
God and is also interceding for us.

Hebrews 6:19-20
19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul,
firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary
behind the curtain, 20 where our forerunner,
Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become
a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 7:25
25 Therefore he is able to save completely those
who come to God through him, because he
always lives to intercede for them.

1. Christ As Prophet
a. He calls Himself a Prophet
Luke 13: 33
33 In any case, I must press on today and
tomorrow and the next day—for surely no
prophet can die outside Jerusalem!

b. He claimed to bring a message from God.

John 8:26-28
26 “I have much to say in judgment of you. But he
who sent me is trustworthy, and what I have heard
from him I tell the world.” 27 They did not understand
that he was telling them about his Father. 28 So Jesus
said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then
you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on
my own but speak just what the Father has taught
me.

c. He provoked praise as a true Prophet, or
Teacher from God.

Luke 7:16
16 They were all filled with awe and praised
God. “A great prophet has appeared among
us,” they said. “God has come to help his
people.”

Luke 24:19
19 “What things?” he asked. “About Jesus of
Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet,
powerful in word and deed before God and all
the people.

c. He provoked praise as a true Prophet, or
Teacher from God.
d. He continues the eternal revelation of God
to the saints in glory.

John 16:12-14
12 “I have much more to say to you, more than
you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of
truth, comes, he will guide you into all the
truth…

John 16:12-14
... He will not speak on his own; he will speak
only what he hears, and he will tell you what is
yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is
from me that he will receive what he will make
known to you.

2. Christ As Priest

‘One of the most profound
mysteries of Christianity is that He
became Priest and Lamb and both
Punisher and Punished.’

Romans 3:23-26 (NLT)
23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of
God’s glorious standard. 24 Yet God freely and
graciously declares that we are righteous. He
did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us
from the penalty for our sins…

…25 For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for
sin. People are made right with God when they
believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding
his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was
being fair when he held back and did not
punish those who sinned in times past…

…26 for he was looking ahead and including
them in what he would do in this present time.
God did this to demonstrate his righteousness,
for he himself is fair and just, and he declares
sinners to be right in his sight when they
believe in Jesus.

Hebrews 9:12(NLT)
12 With his own blood—not the blood of goats
and calves—he entered the Most Holy Place
once for all time and secured our redemption
forever.

Hebrews 7:26-28(NLT)
26 He is the kind of high priest we need
because he is holy and blameless, unstained
by sin. He has been set apart from sinners and
has been given the highest place of honor in
heaven. 27 Unlike those other high priests, he
does not need to offer sacrifices every day….

…. They did this for their own sins first and
then for the sins of the people. But Jesus did
this once for all when he offered himself as the
sacrifice for the people’s sins. 28 The law
appointed high priests who were limited by
human weakness…

… But after the law was given, God appointed
his Son with an oath, and his Son has been
made the perfect High Priest forever.

24 For Christ did not enter into a holy place
made with human hands, which was only a
copy of the true one in heaven. He entered
into heaven itself to appear now before God
on our behalf...

... 25 And he did not enter heaven to offer
himself again and again, like the high priest
here on earth who enters the Most Holy Place
year after year with the blood of an animal.
26 If that had been necessary, Christ would
have had to die again and again, ever since
the world began…

… But now, once for all time, he has appeared
at the end of the age to remove sin by his own
death as a sacrifice. 27 And just as each person
is destined to die once and after that comes
judgment, 28 so also Christ was offered once
for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins
of many people…

… He will come again, not to deal with our
sins, but to bring salvation to all who are
eagerly waiting for him.

19 And so, dear brothers and sisters,we can
boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because
of the blood of Jesus. 20 By his death, Jesus
opened a new and life-giving way through the
curtain into the Most Holy Place. 21 And since
we have a great High Priest who rules over
God’s house, …

… 22 let us go right into the presence of God
with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our
guilty consciences have been sprinkled with
Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies
have been washed with pure water…

… 23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the
hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep
his promise.

10 For God’s will was for us to be made holy by
the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once
for all time. 11 Under the old covenant, the
priest stands and ministers before the altar
day after day, offering the same sacrifices
again and again, which can never take away
sins…

… 12 But our High Priest offered himself to God
as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time.
Then he sat down in the place of honor at
God’s right hand. 13 There he waits until his
enemies are humbled and made a footstool
under his feet…

… 14 For by that one offering he forever made
perfect those who are being made holy.

Revelation 5:9-10(NLT)
9 And they sang a new song with these words:
“You are worthy to take the scroll and break its
seals and open it. For you were slaughtered,
and your blood has ransomed people for God
from every tribe and language and people and
nation…

Revelation 5:9-10(NLT)
… 10 And you have caused them to become a
Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will
reign on the earth.”

2. Christ As Priest
3. Christ As King

Matthew 2:1-2(NLT)
1 Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during
the reign of King Herod. About that time some
wise men from eastern lands arrived in
Jerusalem, asking, 2 “Where is the newborn
king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose,
and we have come to worship him.”

Acts 17:7(NLT)
7 And Jason has welcomed them into his home.
They are all guilty of treason against Caesar,
for they profess allegiance to another king,
named Jesus.”

Matthew 28:18
18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have
been given all authority in heaven and on
earth.

Ephesians 1:22-23(NLT)
22 God has put all things under the authority of
Christ and has made him head over all things
for the benefit of the church. 23 And the church
is his body; it is made full and complete by
Christ, who fills all things everywhere with
himself.

Colossians 1:15-19(NLT)
5 Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
He existed before anything was created and is
supreme over all creation, 16 for through him
God created everything in the heavenly realms
and on earth…

… He made the things we can see and the
things we can’t see— such as thrones,
kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the
unseen world. Everything was created through
him and for him. 17 He existed before anything
else, and he holds all creation together…

… 18 Christ is also the head of the church,
which is his body. He is the beginning,
supreme over all who rise from the dead. So he
is first in everything. 19 For God in all his
fullness was pleased to live in Christ.

Ephesians 4:15-17(NLT)
15 Instead, we will speak the truth in love,
growing in every way more and more like Christ,
who is the head of his body, the church. 16 He
makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As
each part does its own special work, it helps the
other parts grow, so that the whole body is
healthy and growing and full of love.
