Welcome To Pastor Garry Clark’s PowerPoint presentation from the December 24th sermon: JESUS: The God Man! Information on ordering a DVD copy of this sermon will be available at the end of this presentation

Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

God would not be poured into a stained vessel on the Earth!

There was another way!

He would pour His Godhead into flesh & blood and visit the Earth as a man

He would walk among the people as a full-fledged human being in every aspect, yet be fully God at the same time!

He had sent prophets many times, but now He would do something far more shocking!

He would leave the Throne of Heaven to walk among men… A King of disguise, the Lord of the universe in human scale, the Creator among His creatures!

JESUS CHRIST IS THE GOD MAN!

WE SEE IT AT HIS BIRTH Matthew 1:21-23 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

WE SEE IT AT HIS BIRTH Matthew 1:21-23 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

WE SEE IT AT HIS BIRTH Matthew 1:21-23 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

WE SEE IT IN HIS BOYHOOD Luke 2:48-49 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

WE SEE IT IN HIS BOYHOOD Luke 2:48-49 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

WE SEE IT AT HIS BAPTISM Matthew 3:16-17 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

WE SEE IT AT HIS BAPTISM Matthew 3:16-17 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

AND THAT’S JUST A FEW! WE SEE IT IN HIS MIRACLES He turned water into wine He raised the dead He cast out demons He caught fish supernaturally He healed lepers He made the lame to walk He the blind to see He calmed the stormy seas He healed the diseased He made the deaf to hear He fed thousands at a time He withered trees He put ears back on AND THAT’S JUST A FEW!

JESUS CHRIST IS THE GOD MAN!
