Jesus is:
- God in flesh
- The theme of the scriptures
- The rightful King and Heir of all things
- The “firstborn from the dead” and the one who is supreme
- The Last Adam and the Second Man
- The Messiah who liberates from all enemies outside and inside
- The Fulfillment of the Prophetic Promises
- The Man with Fire in His eyes who sits at the right hand of the Father with All authority in heaven and earth
- The Lion and the Lamb
- The Beginning and the End
- The Ultimate Desire of the nations and our Hearts
- The Eternal Bridegroom and Lover of our Souls
- The One Who takes away our sins and Baptizes us with the Holy Spirit

The Forerunners’ Two Primary Proclamations about Jesus:
John 1:29, 33 (ESV)
29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
33 I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

The “not yet Spirit”
John 7:37-39 (ESV)
37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’”
39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Good for Jesus To Go
John 16:7 (ESV)
7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you

Jesus Again Receives the Spirit
Acts 2:33 (ESV)
33 Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.


You and the Holy Spirit
Sealed:
Ephesians 1:13 (ESV)
13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

Oneness:
1 Corinthians 6:17 (ESV)
17 But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.

Fellowshipping:
2 Corinthians 13:14 (ESV)
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Filled:
Ephesians 5:18 (ESV)
18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,

Walk, Live, Step:
Galatians 5:16, 25 (ESV)
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
