Jesus Christ: The Man Behind the Name

John 3:16-18:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him
might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

This is a seven hour seminar considering the earthly life and walk of Jesus Christ.

The class objectives to enrich our understanding of him are:

1. Jesus Christ is the subject of the whole Word of God from Genesis 3:15 to Revelation 22:21.
He is like a red thread that runs throughout and is alluded to in every book in the Bible.

2. Recognize him being a man and not God or a demigod so as to assist in our understanding of
our identification with him.

3. Understand and appreciate the Gospels better and how they interact with the Epistles that are
directly written to us in the age of Grace today.

4. To realize how much Jesus Christ studied the Scriptures in order to live by them in his daily
life. They helped him to understand what he was supposed to do. He didn’t walk around just
getting revelation every second of his life. He had to purposely get away to talk things over with
his Father. At times God did give him revelation to handle specific situations. For example, the
woman at the well, the woman caught in adultery.

5. To see the value of preaching Christ, not ourselves, our organization, or our abilities; he is the
savior of the world not us.

The hourly topics are:

1. The Man with the Powerful Name
2. The World’s Need for a Savior
3. The Savior’s Mission of Love
4. Thoughts and Actions of the Christ
5. The Life of a Servant
6. Our Heavenly Father Provides
7. Preach Christ
