2 We are in a series frm the Bk f Clssians during June/July-4 chapters and 4 messages that will each shw the Supremacy and Sufficiency f Jesus. Paul the Apstle, while in prisn wrte this letter and sent it t the church in the twn f Clssi. He sught t encurage the Christians there t trust in Jesus by faith rather than the laws f man. We believe yet tday that Jesus is Central t Life 3 THINGS JESUS DOES 1. Jesus creates. All Things and All Peple Jesus als recreates. This is the mst amazing f miracles 2 Cr. 5:17 - Therefre, if anyne is in Christ, he is a new creatin. The ld has passed away; behld, the new has cme. Ps 51:10 - Create in me a clean heart, O Gd, and renew a right spirit within me. 2. Jesus rules. All creatin exits fr Jesus Pleasure. Sli De Glria Jesus: by Him all things hld tgether. Jesus is the head f the Church Eph. 1: I als pray that yu will understand the incredible greatness f Gd s pwer fr us wh believe him. This is the same mighty pwer 20 that raised Christ frm the dead and seated him in the place f hnr at Gd s right hand in the heavenly realms. 21 Nw he is far abve any ruler r authrity r pwer r leader r anything else nt nly in this wrld but als in the wrld t cme. 22 Gd has put all things under the authrity f Christ and has made him head ver all things fr the benefit f the church. 3. Jesus saves Rmans 10:9 - That if yu cnfess with yur muth Jesus as Lrd, and believe in yur heart that Gd raised Him frm the dead, yu will be saved He made peace thrugh His crss. That peace is ur gift The Crss prves: Gd is Hly. Sin must be punished Man is sinful. If we are nt why did Gd allw His Sn t die n the crss? The Centrality f Jesus is KEY t the True Gspel f Gd. If that is hw yu want t live yur life, be lking fr these 3 distinctives f Jesus every day. And jin Him in prclaiming these as Truth!!!! 1. Jesus Creates 2. Jesus Rules 3.
