Another Jesus (Season 4, Episode 9)

There are certain times of the year when the religious world pays special attention to Jesus. One is the Christmas season in which they celebrate the birth of Christ. The other is Easter when they focus on His death and resurrection. Why is there such a focus on these things about Jesus? Remembering a baby Jesus reminds people of the grace of God in sending Him to earth – not to mention the fact that nearly everyone loves babies. In the death and resurrection of Christ, we see a Savior who died for our sins and gives us the hope of heaven. It is no wonder why people celebrate these events. These things make people feel good. Anymore in religion, if something makes people feel good, that is what they choose to believe and practice.

But the Bible has much more to say about Jesus than just these things. Sure, we must remember the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus. But by only focusing on these things and ignoring so much of what the Bible teaches about the Christ, many in the religious world have accepted another Jesus (2 Corinthians 11:4). They have molded Him to suit their desires. In this episode, we’re going to consider some of the other things the word of God has to say about Jesus that many have forgotten, ignored, or have never known. So let us consider the Jesus that many do not know.

Happy Birthday, Jesus? (Season 4, Episode 8)

For most of us, the holidays are for spending time with family and enjoying the blessings that we have in this life. But for many in the religious world, the Christmas holiday is also a time for them to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Some even believe that Jesus was born on December 25th. Therefore, they observe Christmas (December 25th) as a religious holy day. However, there are two problems with this. We’re going to notice these in this short episode.

What Would Jesus Do? (Season 4, Episode 7)

What would Jesus do? This is a question that many religious people ask themselves when they attempt to decide if a particular decision or activity is right. Their intentions might be good – trying to focus on Jesus and please Him. However, this question is the wrong question!

Why is this the wrong question? It is too subjective. It turns our responsibility into nothing more than what we think Jesus would do in a given situation. Instead of asking a subjective question like this (What would Jesus do?), we should ask questions for which we can find objective and definitive answers from the Scriptures. So in this episode, we’re going to consider four different questions.

Christ Is the End of the Law (Season 4, Episode 6)

Despite the fact that the Jews – in large part – rejected the gospel, Paul’s prayer was that they might be saved (Romans 10:1). But in order to be saved, they needed to understand Christ and His relationship to the Law of Moses. “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes” (Romans 10:4). Jesus came for the purpose of being “the end of the law.” What does this mean? Many of the Jews did not understand this and, as a result, were not saved through the gospel. In this episode, we will notice what it means for Christ to be “the end of the law.

What Was Said About Jesus on the Cross (Season 4, Episode 5)

Jesus’ death on the cross is the central event of the Bible. It is the sacrifice that made forgiveness, redemption, and salvation possible for all mankind. Jesus foretold of His death – “From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day” (Matthew 16:21). The Scriptures prophesied of this event (Psalm 22; Isaiah 53). Sufficient evidence has been provided to produce belief. In addition to all the divinely given evidence, the gospel writers also record comments from some uninspired men as they speak about Jesus and His crucifixion. It is interesting to see what others understood about Him, even some without the benefit of Old Testament teaching. So in this episode, we’re going to look at the comments made about Jesus from four different individuals or groups.
