Origin of Jesus Christ - Part 2

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Tuesday, January 5, 2010, In : Christ Jesus 

If Jesus was a real person and a “Man” that was eternally made in the Godhead, how as a man, was Jesus Christ still God?  This is very good question and the answer does promote praise and thanksgiving.


Just as Jesus was before all of creation, and also eternally set as the Word at the point of the creation, then we must assume that Jesus was and always has been, “a Lamb slain before the foundation of the world”  and we know that Eph. also says, “we are His workmanship created IN Ch...

The Origin of Jesus Christ - Part 1

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Tuesday, January 5, 2010, In : Christ Jesus 

Was Jesus truly born naturally of a real human woman?  Did He have a natural father?  Did He really exist as a man or did He just appear as a man, in a spiritual form of a man? Did Jesus Christ have a beginning? Was He ever less then Eternal God?  How was He conceived inside of a women and at the same time not made of the stuff of sinful man?  Was Jesus mitigated or tinged in the least with anything less then His Eternal and perfected holiness when He was brought forth of a woman? IN no way d...

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Thursday, December 10, 2009, In : Christ Jesus 

Soul piercing agony.  Flesh withering sorrow of heart.  Gut wrenching desertion of close friends.  Horribly brutal physical torture.  Foes spitting in your face.  Mocking and rueing of sinful mortals.  Scorn measured by the disrespectful tearing of clumps of hair from your once glorious beard.  Loneliness.  False accusations.  Charge of “blasphemer” though a lie never passed through your lips.  A very public and indignant humiliation of being labeled a criminal.  Abandonment of your belov...

The Amazing Christ

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Thursday, December 10, 2009, In : Christ Jesus 

Lest we ever forget, the power of any ministry is the glorious touch of Jesus Christ!  His amazing message animates all true gospel work wrought by His grace.  If we try to build our ministries on any other foundation but that which has already been laid by Christ and His apostolic leaders, then our work will not meet with true success and our preaching and our discipling of His sheep will not be touched by His power, to see real positive change in the shipwrecked lives that surround all of u...
