Friends, some of you listening to this seriously will be completely amazed at what the name Jesus Christ means. The Apostle Paul first introduced it to the churches because he understood how the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ worked from start to finish. In Matthew 16:16 Peter calls Jesus Christ the son of God, only once in his entire relationship with Jesus. and this was a revelation to Peter by the Holy Spirit and Jesus said that he was going to build his ministry on that revelation. But with Paul it became a huge part of his ministry to the churches, so now please allow me to explain how all of this works in making up the one complete man Jesus the Christ. you see Jesus is the God-man, and Christ is the Spirit, Jesus the man has blood to take to the cross to atone for our sins, but Christ is a spirit, and a spirit does not have human blood. Jesus has a human body that could be nailed to a cross and can die, but Christ being a Spirit cannot be nailed to a cross nor can Christ being a spirit die, Now are you starting to see and understand the difference between Jesus and Christ and how they worked to provide complete salvation for humanity? Jesus is a man with human blood, a beating heart, and a physical body that the Roman soldiers could see and touch, but Christ being a spirit is invisible. Friend even today we cannot see the Holy Spirit with our natural eyes, So now let me show you how Jesus is going to die, and Christ the spirit who is going to raise him from the dead. This is why Romans 8:11 says if the spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. Friend from this scripture can you clearly see the connection of the Spirit which raised Jesus from the dead, and this same Spirit raising everyone who believes in Jesus from the dead as well. You see what happened to Jesus in being raised to life from the dead, and us also being raised from the dead is God's best, he treats us who believe on the same level as his son Jesus. Friend that is news that you and I can use, many people do not understand this but now you and I understand it, and it is powerful stuff.
