Who is He – Part 2: What did He do?

John 3:16 (The Message)
16-18″This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.

The problem we have in the world however is that His primary purpose for being born is oftentimes overlooked, masked, or cloaked in all the awesome and wonderful things He did.

Last week we talked about the importance of understanding WHO Christ was through the lens of Matthew 16:13-18. In that text Jesus confronts the disciples with a discussion on who Christ is; in verse 16 Peter gives the answer: “You are the Messiah, the Savior, and the Son of God”. We spent a great deal of time talking afterwards about how we stand on that decision and how it relates to others – let me re-iterate that that this understanding of who Christ is in this scripture is not a discussion on evagelism, or how we go sharing Christ with other people – that’s for another sermon. Rather it’s a question on whether or not WE, all of us here right now, fully understand who Jesus is. This week we continue in our series as we look to what He did.
