(Pt.1) A Question for Christians: "Who is Jesus, Really?"

Can you answer this question accurately and effectively?

(pt.1 of 4)  This is perhaps the most important question, apologetically and evidentially, regarding Jesus Christ in all of the Scriptures.  If the Bible is true, then how a person answers this simple question will determine where an individual will spend their eternal destiny.  Especially at this crucial time of celebrating the Christmas season, are you personally able to answer the skeptic's or seeker's question of "Who is Jesus Christ, really"?

If not, my aim in this 15 min. video is to begin to teach you the 4 central truths concerning the identity of Jesus Christ, as taught in the New Testament.  If you take the time and learn these 4 central truths concerning Christ, it will enable you to not only stay free from error and false teaching about Jesus, but it will also allow you to be much more effective in explaining Christ and His Person to those who will ask you for help and answers this Christmas season.

Here is how to T.H.IN.K. rightly concerning Christ:

1. T rinity - Jesus is the second Divine Person of the Triune GOD.  He is eternally, God the Son.
2. H ypostatic Union - Jesus took upon himself a second nature, a human nature, when conceived.
3. IN carnation - Jesus, the eternal Son, took upon Himself a fully human body and existence.
4. K enosis - Jesus willingly chose to limit his use of, or access to, His divine attributes while on the earth, though He never lost them or ceased to be God the Son. 

Join me for these 4 short video teachings from a sermon I recently taught.  I hope it will be a blessing to you, and help equip you to be a more effective ambassador for Christ, during this Christmas season!

Be blessed, be bold,  and have an Intelligent Faith this Christmas season!

Friend or Foe? - Faith and Reason

Dr. William Lane Craig gives a short but cogent description of why "Faith" and "Reason" are not mutually exclusive terms, but rather complementary in the quest for truth, evidence, and reality.

This is a very healthy and helpful distinction for Christians to understand, and should go a long way in strengthening you as a disciple of Christ in the university.

Is the Christian Worldview Unique? Is it Reasonable?

Does the Christian Worldview make any sense?

Dr. Craig Hazen from Biola University, share some simple but powerful ways in which it's easy to see that the Christian faith and worldview is extremely rational and reasonable, and that it is absolutely unique in all of the worlds religions for many reasons.

Questions That Christians Hope Nobody Will Ask

What are the questions that you are afraid to be asked?

Are you ready to explain your faith in Christ if approached by a non-believer?

Listen to Mark Mittelberg as he discusses this interesting issue that many Christians rarely think about.  If you find yourself having questions that you don't know the answers to, let us know about it via email so we can address them here on TORCH.

Be a bright and burning TORCH for Christ!
