Four Witnesses Testify About Jesus

Conrad Hilario

Nehemiah 2:1-8

Jesus claims we can have eternal life through Him. He calls on four witnesses to testify about the truthfulness of this claim: 1) John the Baptist, 2) miraculous works, 3) the Holy Spirit, and 4) Old Testament scriptures. The prophecy in Daniel 9 is discussed as an example of the Old Testament validating Jesus as the promised Messiah.

4 Witnesses to Christ's Authenticity

Dennis McCallum

Nehemiah 2:1-8

Jesus demonstrates four witnesses that authenticated his authority to his Jewish audience: 1) John the Baptist; 2) the miracles and works God had given Jesus the power to perform amidst the people; 3) inner witness of the Holy Spirit; and 4) the Scriptures that predicted Jesus. Jesus proves here that he has authority given to him by God the Father and we as Christians today should listen to him because of his authority.

The Triumphal Entry

Ryan Lowery

Zechariah 9:9-10

Though Jesus is the promised Messiah, he rides into Jerusalem humbly on a donkey. God is trying to say both that He is not like us, and also that peace and love are spread by a show of restraint and humility, not by power. Jesus came not to conquer Rome, but to pay the penalty of sin on the cross. We should seek to understand this incredible victory as we prepare our friends and family for his next coming.

The Crucifixion as Fulfillment

Jeff Gordon

John 19:16-42

Jesus came the first time to die for the sins of humanity, but this was not the end. Jesus is going to come back, and if this is true, it has consequential implications and is worth considering. God not only sent His son Jesus to die on the cross, but He also predicted this in many ways throughout all of Scripture. Jesus' death paid the ultimate price for the ultimate gift that God wanted to give: a relationship with Him. This plan that He put in place provides substantial evidence for the validity of the gift of salvation.

Jesus' Crucifixion

Gary DeLashmutt

John 19:16-42

John focuses on the prophecy that was fulfilled through Jesus' crucifixion and the emotional suffering he endured. In addition to the physical pain of crucifixion detailed in Psalm 22, Jesus endured the pain of being separated from his Father so he could pay for the sins of all humanity. Jesus' purpose as the Son of God was woven throughout history and John highlights the consistency of God's plan.

The End of the World

Scott Risley

2 Peter 3:1-18

Peter discusses the last days when Jesus will return and there will be a final judgment. Reasons to believe Jesus will return are: 1) It was predicted by prophets and is significantly emphasized in the New Testament 2) Our world is not just as it was; it is changing to match the predictions laid out in Scripture 3) God has judged the world before, e.g., Noah and the Flood. God is waiting for this to happen so more people will turn to Him.

Where is the Promise of His Coming?

Dennis McCallum

2 Peter 3:1-18

Peter tells us to be on our guard as he speaks of the End Times. True prophecy must be 1) clear, 2) unusual, 3) known to have been made before it was fulfilled, 4) not an educated guess, and 5) cannot be staged or manipulated. Many end times prophecies fit these criteria, and therefore we should pay close attention.

Peter's Last Words

Dennis McCallum

2 Peter 1:12-21

Peter writes to remind his readers that he and his companions were witness to the transfiguration, which sustained him even years later. The whole reason for this revelation was to rescue people and build them up. The reasons we are able to believe in the events that happened are through: 1) testimony of the apostles under torture, 2) predictive prophecy, and 3) the uniqueness of the Bible.

Jesus: the Fulfillment of Biblical Prophecy

Jeff Gordon

John 12:12-30

Jesus' whole life was a fulfillment of several different prophecies. He intentionally entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey to fulfill a prophecy in Zechariah 9:9. This was one of the only prophecies about his life that he could have controlled. His choice to enter Jerusalem this way declared to the world that he was the Messiah as predicted.
