My previous two blog posts have dealt with getting to know Jesus. This post is simply a resource you can use to jump into your Bible study about Jesus. The scriptures listed here are just a part of what is in God’s Word. It is a good start.
In Isaiah there are many references to the coming Messiah. I will give you chapter and verse and then a short description of Jesus in the text. For instance, 9:2/Illuminator. Here we go. 11:3/Judge, 11:4/Reprover, 42:4/Law-Giver, 42:7/Liberator, 53:4/Burden Bearer, 53:6/Sin Bearer, 53:12/Intercessor, 7:14/Immanuel, 9:6/Mighty God, Prince of Peace, 61:1/Anointed Preacher, 42:1/Divine Servant, 32:1/ Righteous King
John has great pictures of Jesus. 1:1-14/The Son of God, 2:1-10/The Son of Man, 3:2-21/The Divine Teacher, 4:7-29/Soul Winner, 5:1-9/The Great Physician, 6:32-58/Bread of Life, 7:37/The Water of Life, 8:3-11/The Defender of the weak, 9:1-39/ The Light of the World, 10:1-16/The Good Shepherd, 11:11-14/The Prince of Life, 12:12-15/The King, 13:1-10/The Servant, 15:1-16/ The True Vine, 16:1-15/The Giver of the Holy Spirit, 17:1-26/Intercessor, 18:11/The Model Sufferer, 19:16-19/The Uplifted Savior, 20:1-31/The Conqueror of Death, 21:1-17/The Restorer of those who repent
Paul’s portraits of Christ include Romans 5:1/The Peacemaker, 1 Corinthians 2:8/The Lord of Glory, 1 Corinthians 3:11/ The Only Foundation, 1 Corinthians 5:7/The Sacrificial Lamb, 2 Corinthians 4:4/ The Image of God, Galatians 5:1/The Liberator, and others.
There are more you will find as you study scriptures. Even in Revelation we see further descriptions of who our Jesus is: the faithful witness, the alpha and omega, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the lamb, the Word of God, king of kings and lord of lords.
He is the one who saved us. He is the one who loves us. He is the one who paid the price for our sins. He is so much more. Get to know about Him. Get to know Him.
