BS Day 2

Bible Study 2: Seeing Jesus Christ – Part 1

In the previous lesson, we learned what great men throughout history have said about Christ. In this lesson, we will listen to what people who have met Jesus Christ personally have to say about Him. We will also listen to Jesus and what He has to say about Himself.

Who is Jesus Christ? Why would He be important to us?

When Jesus of Nazareth walked the earth more than 2,000 years ago, He called to Himself a group of disciples who followed Him everywhere. These disciples left a written record of His words, deeds and the events in His life. This record was preserved in the Bible. The book of John preserves some of these things that Jesus did and what others said about Him.

Who is the Word? (John 1:1, 6, 14)

What is His relationship to God? (John 1:1-2)

Who created all things? (John 1:3)

Who has the life? (John 1:4-5)

Who is John? What is his relation to the Light? (John 1:6-8)

Who is the true Light? (John 1:9-11, 14)

What did John the Evangelist and Nathanael call Jesus? (John 1:18, 47-49)

What did the Samaritan woman call Jesus? (John 4:28-30)

What did the Samaritans call Jesus? (John 4:39-42)

Considering what John the Evangelist, Nathanael, and the Samaritan woman said, who is Jesus?

What did Jesus say about Himself? (John 4:11-13; 6:35; 7:37-39; 8:12; 10:9-10; 10:30-33; 11:25-26; 14:1-6)

Based on what Jesus said about Himself, who is Jesus Christ to you? (Sharing time)

Consider what C. S. Lewis said about Jesus Christ:

“A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic – on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg – or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”

Now that you know all these things about Jesus, how would you live your life in relation to Him?
