We will learn how Jesus Christ is revealed throughout the Bible, emphasizing the significance of understanding Him through the lens of the Five Ws: who, what, when, where, and why.

I will use various books, including Genesis, John, Isaiah, Romans, and Revelation, to portray Christ’s roles as Savior, High Priest, and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.

Key themes include the narrative of redemption, the transformative power of faith, and the reconciliation between humanity and God through Christ’s sacrificial death.

The message calls for personal application of biblical truths, urging believers to reflect Christ’s holiness and live in alignment with God’s will for eternal salvation.

The Five Ws are a set of questions designed to gather information, evaluate sources, or understand a topic thoroughly. They include:

Who – Who is involved?

What – What is the topic about?

When – When did it happen?

Where – Where is it taking place?

Why – Why did this event occur?

These questions are commonly used in journalism, research, and investigations. They also serve as a valuable tool for writers to develop their narratives.

When you call 911, the dispatcher will typically ask these questions to quickly assess the situation.

From the very first page to the last, we are invited to explore the purpose behind each Book of the Bible. Our journey involves seeking personal application, recognizing how Christ is revealed, and observing the workings of the Holy Spirit.

We are challenged to take the Book of Truth and apply it to our lives: to grow in godliness, to nurture a vibrant devotion to Him, and to pursue and reflect holiness.

Jesus is either depicted or prophesied about in all 66 Books of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.

Charles Spurgeon once remarked, “No Christ in your sermon, sir? Then go home and never preach again until you have something worth preaching.”

Christ Reveals Himself through Scripture

Genesis

The pre-existing Christ, the living Word, was intimately involved in creation. As John 1:3 states, “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” Jesus’ ministry is foreshadowed in Genesis 3:15, where the “seed” of the woman, who will bruise the serpent’s (Satan’s) head, is interpreted as Jesus Christ, the seed of Abraham, as mentioned by Paul in Galatians 3:16. Melchizedek, the mysterious king-priest of chapter 14, prefigures Christ, who is both King and High Priest, an identification made clear in Hebrews 6:20.

The greatest revelation of Christ in Genesis is through God’s covenant with Abraham in chapters 15 and 17. Here, God makes glorious promises to Abraham, which find their ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, a point Paul elaborates on in Galatians. Much of the Bible is built upon the Abrahamic covenant and its fulfillment in Jesus Christ.

The dramatic narrative of Abraham’s readiness to sacrifice Isaac at God’s command in Genesis 22:2 (“Take your only son Isaac, whom you love, and offer him there as a burnt offering”) mirrors the pivotal event of the New Testament—God’s sacrifice of His only Son for the sins of the world.

Lastly, Jacob’s blessing upon Judah in Genesis 49:10 anticipates the coming of “Shiloh,” identified as the Messiah, to whom “shall be the obedience of the people.”

Genesis 49:10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people.

John

John presents Jesus as the only begotten Son of God who took on human form. For John, Jesus’ humanity embodies a dual mission:

As the “Lamb of God” (John 1:29), Jesus secured the redemption of humankind through his sacrifice.

John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

Through his life and ministry, Jesus revealed the nature of God the Father. He consistently directed attention beyond himself towards the Father, who sent Him, aiming to glorify Him. Indeed, the miracles Jesus performed, which John describes as “signs,” served as witnesses to His divine mission.

As Jesus glorified the Father through His ministry and suffering, so too did the Father glorify the Son. However, John uniquely shows that the Son’s glorification began at the crucifixion, not merely in the exultation following His resurrection.

By believing that Jesus is the Christ, readers of John’s Gospel become participants in the life that Jesus brought forth from death.

Isaiah

After His resurrection, Jesus walked with two of His disciples and “expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself” (Luke 24:27). To do so, He must have drawn heavily from the Book of Isaiah, as 17 chapters of Isaiah contain prophetic references to Christ. He is described with titles such as the Lord, Branch of the Lord, Immanuel, Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Rod from the Stem of Jesse, Cornerstone, King, Shepherd, Servant of Yahweh, Elect One, Lamb of God, Leader and Commander, Redeemer, and Anointed One.

Chapter 53 of Isaiah is arguably the most significant Old Testament chapter prophesying the Messiah’s atoning work. No other text, in either Testament, more comprehensively outlines the purpose of Christ’s vicarious death on the cross than this chapter. New Testament writers directly quote it nine or ten times. Additionally, there are many fulfillments in the New Testament of the details found in Isaiah 53, beyond just the direct quotations.

Romans

Here’s the story of God’s plan of redemption in Christ as outlined in Romans:

• The Need for Redemption (1:18 – 3:20): This section explains why redemption is necessary, detailing humanity’s sinfulness and separation from God.
• Christ’s Work and Its Implications (3:21 onward): This part offers a detailed description of Christ’s work on the cross and what it means for Christians. Jesus Christ is described as our Savior who:
  • Obeyed God perfectly on our behalf as our representative.
  • Died as our substitute sacrifice.
• Faith in Christ for Salvation: The text emphasizes that faith in Jesus Christ is essential for salvation.
• Blessings Through Christ: Through faith in Christ, believers receive numerous blessings:
  • Reconciliation to God
  • Righteousness and eternal life
  • Identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection
  • Being alive to God
  • Freedom from condemnation
  • An eternal inheritance
  • Sharing in His sufferings
  • Being glorified with Him
  • Being made like Him
  • The intercession of Christ on our behalf
• Living Through Christ: All aspects of the Christian life are lived through Him, including:
  • Prayer
  • Rejoicing
  • Exhortation
  • Glorifying God
  • Generally living to and obeying God

This narrative from Romans not only outlines the theological foundations of Christianity but also applies the Gospel to everyday life, making it clear how central Christ is to every facet of a believer’s existence.

Deuteronomy

Moses was the first to prophesy the coming of the Messiah, describing Him as a Prophet like himself. Notably, Jesus made a unique comparison to Moses, being the only person with whom He directly likened Himself.

Jesus emphasized this connection in John 5:46-47, saying, “For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

Furthermore, Jesus frequently referenced Deuteronomy:

• When asked to identify the greatest commandment, He quoted Deuteronomy 6:5, underscoring the importance of loving God with all heart, soul, and strength.
• During His temptation by Satan, Jesus exclusively used quotations from Deuteronomy to counter each temptation, demonstrating His submission to God’s will through obedience to the law.

The significance of Christ’s use of Deuteronomy cannot be overstated. As one who was perfectly obedient to the Father, even unto death, Jesus utilized this book, which is central to themes of obedience, to affirm His alignment with the Father’s will.

Ephesians

Ephesians has earned nicknames like “The Alps of the New Testament,” “The Grand Canyon of Scripture,” and “The Royal Capstone of the Epistles” due to its grand theme and the majestic portrayal of Christ. Here’s how Christ is depicted throughout the book:

• Chapter 1: Christ is:
  • The Redeemer (1:7), offering redemption through His blood.
  • The one in whom and by whom all history will ultimately be consummated (1:10).
  • The Resurrected Lord who has triumphed over death and hell, reigning as King and pouring His life through His body, the Church – the present manifestation of Himself on Earth (1:15-23).
• Chapter 2: Here, He:
  • Acts as the Peacemaker, reconciling humanity to God and fostering peace between humans as well (2:11-18).
  • Serves as the Chief Cornerstone of the new spiritual temple made up of His people, indwelt by God (2:19-22).
• Chapter 3: Christ is:
  • The Treasure in whom life’s unsearchable riches are found (3:8).
  • The Indweller of human hearts, securing believers in the love of God.
• Chapter 4: He is:
  • The Giver of ministry gifts to His church, equipping His people.
  • The Victor who has defeated the power of hell to hold mankind captive.
• Chapter 5: Christ is:
  • The Model Husband, sacrificially gives Himself to enhance His bride, the Church.
• Chapter 6: He is:
  • The Lord, Mighty in Battle, strengthens His followers as they engage in spiritual warfare (6:10).

This portrayal in Ephesians underscores Christ’s unparalleled significance, encompassing His roles in redemption, reconciliation, empowerment, and ultimate victory.

Psalms

Approximately half of the Old Testament references to the Messiah quoted by New Testament writers come from the Book of Psalms. The apostles recognized numerous prophetic references in Psalms to various aspects of Christ’s life and ministry:

• His Birth: Acts 13:33
• His Lineage: Matthew 22:42-43
• His Teaching by Parables: Matthew 13:35
• His Rejection: Matthew 21:42
• His Priesthood: Hebrews 5:6
• His Betrayal by Judas: John 13:18
• His Suffering as Our Substitute: Romans 15:3
• His Triumphant Resurrection: Acts 2:25-28
• His Ascension: Acts 2:34
• His Reign: 1 Corinthians 15:27

These references in Psalms can be categorized into two types:

1. Typical – These are symbolic shadows or types that prefigure future realities related to Christ.
2. Direct Prophetic Statements – These are explicit predictions or declarations about the Messiah.

The interpretation of these psalms as messianic is affirmed by Jesus Himself in Luke 24:44, where He states,

“These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.”

This passage emphasizes that all scriptural references, including those from the Psalms, were meant to be fulfilled in Him.

A poignant example of this is the betrayal by Judas, which Jesus directly linked to Psalm 41:9:

“Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.”

This verse from Psalms is quoted by Jesus in the New Testament to describe his betrayal by Judas Iscariot, illustrating the direct prophetic nature of some Psalms concerning His life.

Revelation

In the Book of Revelation, nearly every title used elsewhere in the New Testament to describe Jesus’ divine-human nature, and His redemptive work appears at least once. This book provides a unique, multidimensional portrayal of Christ’s current position, ongoing ministry, and ultimate victory.

• Revelation’s Scope: Although Jesus’ earthly ministry is briefly encapsulated between His incarnation and ascension in Revelation 12:5, the book emphasizes that as the Lamb, He has fully completed His redemptive work. His blood has forgiven, cleansed, liberated, and elevated sinners to kings and priests.
• Finished Work: All subsequent demonstrations of His victory stem from His completed work on the Cross. Consequently, Satan is defeated and bound. Jesus, resurrected, is now enthroned as the absolute Sovereign over all creation, recognized as the “King of kings and Lord of lords,” deserving the same worship as God the Creator.
• The Lamb: The primary title for Jesus in Revelation is “the Lamb,” mentioned twenty-eight times. He is not a political Messiah but the sacrificial Lamb, “the Lion of Judah,” who alone is “worthy” to fulfill God’s eternal purpose. As the conqueror, He has the authority and power to manage all forces of evil for both judgment and salvation. The Lamb is on the throne.
• Intimacy with His People: As “One like the Son of Man,” Jesus is always among His people, whose names are in the Book of Life. He knows them intimately, protects, disciplines, and challenges them with holy love. They share in His present and future victory, including the “marriage supper” of the Lamb. He indwells them, and they in Him.
• Final Judgment and Restoration: As “One like the Son of Man,” He is also the Lord of the final harvest, pouring out wrath in judgment against Satan, his allies, and the spiritually dead who choose to “dwell on the earth.” The Lamb is the God who is coming to finalize His eternal plan, creating a new community of His people in “a new heaven and a new earth,” restoring the Paradise of God.

The Lamb is the culmination and goal of all history according to Revelation.

Samuel  

The similarities between Jesus and the boy Samuel are striking. Both were children of promise. Both were dedicated to God before birth. Both were the bridges of transition from one stage of the nation’s history to another. Samuel combined the offices of prophet and priest; Christ is prophet, priest, and king.

The tragic end of Saul illustrates the ultimate result of earthly kingdoms. The only hope is a kingdom of God on Earth, whose ruler is God Himself. In David, the earthly lineage of God’s King begins. In Christ, God comes as King and will come again as King of Kings.

David, the simple shepherd boy, prefigures Christ the Good Shepherd. Jesus becomes the ultimate Shepherd king.

Job

The Book of Job does not explicitly mention Christ, yet Job can be considered a prefiguration of Him. Job endured immense suffering, was humbled, and lost everything, only to be restored in the end, becoming an intercessor for his friends. Similarly, Christ willingly emptied Himself, adopting human form, enduring suffering, and persecution from both men and demons, and appearing forsaken by God, ultimately serving as an intercessor for humanity. A key distinction between Christ and Job lies in their paths to humility: Christ chose to humble Himself, while Job’s degradation came from external circumstances beyond his control. Moreover, Job describes himself as “vile,” contrasting with Jesus, who Scripture declares to be sinless.

The Book of James highlights Job’s patience and endurance, suggesting that just as God’s intentions were benevolent towards Job, so too are the Lord’s intentions toward us. James encourages believers to emulate Job’s patience and endurance while awaiting Christ’s return, thereby fully experiencing the unfolding of God’s goodness.

When we speak of Jesus, the atmosphere changes. Some are drawn to Him with a love that moves mountains, while others recoil with a hatred that seeks to obliterate His very name. But one stark reality remains: there is no middle ground with Jesus of Nazareth. He is either the cornerstone of your life or the stone that trips you up, a truth unchanged by twenty centuries of human history.

Jesus is unyielding in His stance against sin, and that stance pierces through our comfort zones. He was gentle with the sinner, yet relentless against the sin that binds them. To the woman caught in the act of adultery, He whispered, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more” (John 8:11). His love forgave her, but His holy hatred for sin was unmistakable.

God has always gazed upon sin with an intolerance that burns like fire: “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil…” (Isaiah 1:16). “Awake to righteousness, and do not sin” (1 Corinthians 15:34).

Christ’s intolerance of sin was so fierce that He bled on the cross, not just to forgive but to break sin’s chains. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Sin is the poison that corrodes our society, severing our connection with God and each other. The world’s wounds will never heal until we confront the sin that festers within.

The cross is God’s thunderous declaration against sin. For all who embrace the Good News of salvation through Christ, it erases — forever — sin’s dominion.

If these words don’t ignite a fire within you, if they don’t make your heart beat with urgency, then perhaps it’s time to truly reflect on where your soul stands.

What is Spiritual Death?

Death is not just an end; it’s a profound form of separation. Physical death severs the soul from the body, but spiritual death, with even greater implications, separates the soul from God. In Genesis 2:17, God warns Adam, “For in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” Although Adam didn’t physically die immediately after his disobedience, God was evidently speaking of another kind of death—spiritual death. This is poignantly illustrated in Genesis 3:8, where Adam and Eve hide from God, indicating their fellowship with Him was broken; they were spiritually dead.

Without Christ, a person is spiritually dead. Paul describes this state as being “alienated from the life of God” (Ephesians 4:18). To be cut off from life is to be dead. Like Adam in the garden, the natural man is estranged from God. However, through rebirth, this spiritual death is undone. Before salvation, we are spiritually lifeless, but through Jesus, we are given life. “And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins” (Ephesians 2:1 NKJV). “When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions” (Colossians 2:13).

Consider the miracle of Jesus raising Lazarus in John 11 as an analogy. Lazarus, dead and unresponsive, was beyond all human aid, isolated from the world of the living—until Jesus, “the Resurrection and the Life” (John 11:25), called him back to life. At that divine command, Lazarus came to life. In a parallel fashion, we were spiritually dead, incapable of saving ourselves or even recognizing the life of God—until Jesus called us to Himself. He revived us, “not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy” (Titus 3:5).

The Book of Revelation introduces the concept of a “second death,” an eternal and final separation from God, reserved only for those who have not experienced new life through Christ (Revelation 2:11; 20:6, 14; 21:8).

Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of our existence, answering our deepest questions and guiding our journey. His life, teachings, and ultimate sacrifice provide profound insights into the essence, purpose, timing, location, reason, and method of our existence and salvation.

Who:

In the Book of Revelation, Jesus describes Himself as the “Alpha and Omega” (Revelation 1:8, 21:6, 22:13), signifying that He is the beginning and the end of all things. Here is an exploration of His roles:

Savior: Jesus is the rescuer of humanity, offering salvation from sin through His sacrifice.

High Priest: He acts as the eternal mediator between God and humanity, interceding on our behalf.

Coming King: He is prophesied to return as the sovereign ruler, establishing His kingdom with justice and peace.

The Anointed One: As the Messiah or Christ, He is divinely chosen to fulfill the prophecies of old, redeeming and leading His people.

The God of the Old Testament:

Passages like John 1:18, 5:37, 1 John 4:12, and Exodus 24:9-11 affirm that the Son is directly referred to as God.

Hebrews 1:8 and Luke 20:41-44 further solidify this by depicting Jesus as the Lord seated at the right hand of the Father.

Complete Revelation and Manifestation of God:

Colossians 1:15 states that He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, making Him the full expression of God’s nature.

Our Sufficiency, Victory, and Identity:

According to Colossians 2:9-10, in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and we are complete in Him, giving believers sufficiency, victory over sin, and a new identity in Christ.

The Judge:

Jesus holds the authority to judge, as seen in John 5:22-23 where all judgment has been given to the Son so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father.

The parable of the sheep and the goats in Matthew 25:31-46 portrays Him as the judge at the end of the age.

2 Timothy 4:1 reminds us that Christ will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom.

This multifaceted portrayal of Jesus underscores His central role in the Christian faith as both the origin and culmination of God’s plan for humanity.

What:

His Death – Burial- and Resurrection

Redemptive work on the cross

When: He has always been

The work of Christ did not commence in a manger in Bethlehem. He was actively involved in the drama of redemption from the dawn of time itself.

He was present at the inception of all things and will remain at the culmination of time.

He has always existed and will continue to exist eternally.

1 Corinthians 8:6 underscores this: “yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.” This verse positions Christ as the agent of creation, implying His eternal presence.

Where:

The Lamb, as “one like the Son of Man” is always in the midst of His people whose names are recorded in His Book of Life and He knows them intimately.

Matthew 18:20: “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them”

John 1:4: “And the Word was made flesh, and He dwelt among us, and we saw His glory and truth!”

Luke 17:21: “The kingdom of God is in your midst”

Where is Jesus Now?

At the Right Hand of God: Jesus ascended into heaven after His resurrection, and He is currently seated at the right hand of God the Father. This is affirmed in multiple scriptures:

Acts 2:33: “Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God…”

Hebrews 1:3: “…he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high…”

Ephesians 1:20: “…seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places…”

What is Jesus Doing?

Interceding for Believers:

Jesus serves as our High Priest and Advocate in heaven, interceding on behalf of believers.

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

Preparing a Place:

He is preparing a place for His followers in heaven.

John 14:2-3: “In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”

Ruling and Reigning:

Jesus is described as having all authority and dominion, ruling over all creation.

Ephesians 1:20-22: “[God] raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church…”

Sending the Holy Spirit:

Jesus, from His heavenly position, sends the Holy Spirit to guide, empower, and sanctify His followers on earth.

John 16:7: “Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.”

Awaiting His Return:

Jesus is also waiting to return to earth in what is known as the Second Coming, where He will judge the living and the dead and establish His eternal kingdom.

Hebrews 9:28: “so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.”

In summary, Jesus is currently in heaven, at the right hand of God, fulfilling roles as our intercessor, preparing our eternal home, exerting His dominion, sending the Holy Spirit, and awaiting His return to culminate His redemptive work.

Why:

Sin and Separation from God

Humanity fell into sin through Adam and Eve’s disobedience in Genesis, leading to a broken relationship with God. This sin nature is passed down to all humans, making everyone inherently separated from God’s holiness (Romans 5:12).

Romans 3:23: “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

Need for Reconciliation: Sin creates a chasm between humans and God. Jesus is seen as the bridge to reconciliation because He lived a sinless life, making Him the only one capable of atoning for human sin.

Atonement for Sin

Sacrifice: Jesus’ death on the cross is viewed as the ultimate sacrifice for sin, fulfilling the Old Testament’s sacrificial system. He took upon Himself the punishment that sin deserved, thus providing atonement or propitiation for humanity’s transgressions.

1 John 2:2: “He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.”

Forgiveness: Through His sacrifice, Jesus enables forgiveness, which is not just a pardon but also involves the restoration of the relationship between God and humans.

Salvation and Eternal Life

Path to Salvation: Jesus is the only way to salvation. His resurrection from the dead promises eternal life for those who believe in Him.

John 14:6: “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'”

John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

Victory Over Death: Jesus’ resurrection signifies victory over sin and death, giving believers hope of resurrection and eternal life.

Transformation and Sanctification

New Life: Accepting Jesus transforms one’s life. through Christ, you are given a new nature, one that seeks to live according to God’s will.

2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”

Empowerment: The Holy Spirit, sent by Jesus, empowers believers to live holy lives, resist sin, and grow in faith.

Mediator and Advocate

Mediator: Jesus acts as the mediator between God and humanity, a role no one else can fulfill because of His dual nature—fully God and fully human.

1 Timothy 2:5: “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus…”

Intercessor: He intercedes for us, ensuring that our prayers and our lives are aligned with God’s will.

Example and Teacher

Moral Guide: Jesus provides the perfect example of how to live. His teachings, life, and parables offer a moral compass for living a life pleasing to God.

Teachings: His teachings cover love, forgiveness, justice, and peace, which are foundational for ethical living.

Fulfillment of Prophecies

Messiah: Jesus is seen as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah or Christ, who would bring salvation and redemption to Israel and the world.

Closing Remarks:

Jesus Christ is the pivotal figure of the Bible, the world’s most influential book. The Bible vividly portrays His magnificent dual nature, belonging to both the natural world and the divine realm from which He originated.

Hebrews 1:1-3 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, (2) has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; (3) who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being. He sustains all things by his powerful word.

Lamentations shows how weak people are under the Law, and how unable they are to serve God in their own strength. This drives them to Christ (Rom 8:3). In these poems, glimpses of Christ shine through. He is our hope (3:24 The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!)  

He is the manifestation of God’s mercy and compassion (3:22 Through the LORD’S mercies we are not consumed Because His compassions fail not.)

He is our redemption and vindication (3:58, 59 O Lord, You have pleaded the case for my soul; You have redeemed my life. O LORD, You have seen how I am wronged; Judge my case.)

Holiness is a lifestyle, and Christ is revealed through our works – reflecting His holiness

This is why we do what we do – through our worship so those who don’t know Him will want to know Him
