Jesus: Raised as King: Study 09 in the series "Three Trees: The story of the whole Bible" in 10 studies.
When it comes to Jesus, the Bible teaches the miraculous! A virgin birth, walking on water, water into wine, feeding 5000 men with 5 loaves and two fish, raising the dead, healing the sick, casting out demons and believing in the resurrection.
Is it hard to believe in the resurrection of Jesus? Why?
Over the last two weeks, we’ve seen that Jesus is the son of Abraham but also the son of David, the promised King we’ve been expecting. Where all others have failed, only Jesus has obeyed God’s Word, an obedience demonstrated in his death. By his death for us, Jesus reverses all the curses of Eden: sin, death and separation from God are now all removed - there’s no condemnation left for us! Despite the unfaithfulness of his people, God is keeping his promises.
There’s just one small problem with these promises… how can a dead Jesus be the son of David who will reign forever over God’s people?
