How is the Son of Man Glorified?

Are You One of Jesus Sheep?

John 20:19-31 explores the essence of belief, particularly through Jesus' appearance to His disciples and Thomas's journey from doubt to faith.

This passage emphasizes that belief originates from God's Word, which brings peace and the promise of life in Jesus' name to all who trust Him.
- Luke 24:1-12
What Should I Do with Jesus – Should I Listen to Him?
- Luke 24:1-12
Luke 24:1-12 recounts the discovery of the empty tomb, where the women were reminded by angels of Jesus' own words foretelling His resurrection.

What Should I Do with Jesus – Should I Glorify Him?
- Luke 23:46-47
Our response to Jesus' sacrifice is the focus, inspired by the centurion's declaration in Luke 23:46-47, who, upon witnessing Jesus' death, glorified God by affirming, "This man really was righteous." We glorify Jesus when we confess His inherent and eternal righteousness, acknowledging His perfect nature. Furthermore, true glorification involves recognizing and confessing that Jesus Himself is the source of our own righteousness before God.

What Should I Do with Jesus – Should I Commune with Him?
- 1 Corinthians 10:14-22
Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10:14-22, the profound choice of spiritual allegiance is examined: we are either in communion with Jesus or with the deceptions of the Devil. The Apostle Paul warns against idolatry, highlighting that partaking in the Lord's Supper signifies a true communion with the body and blood of Christ. This sacred act not only connects us intimately with Jesus but also unites believers as one body in Him, contrasting sharply with any association with demonic influences.

What Should I Do with Jesus – Should I Crucify Him?
- Mark 15:22-30
The sobering reality of Jesus' crucifixion, as detailed in Mark 15:22-30, reveals Him mocked and nailed to the cross. While many groups, from the Sanhedrin to Pilate and even His disciples, bear historical blame for His death, the message underscores that ultimately, every sin necessitates His sacrifice, making all humanity culpable. Despite this, Jesus willingly went to the cross out of profound love for the world, and His death secured immeasurable blessings for us.
