Prophet, Priest, King, God
Week 4

Highlights:

The Old Testament comparison to Jesus is God!

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬‬
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭32‬-‭33‬‬
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬‬
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

“Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).

The New Testament shows us that this baby is God.

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭17‬‬
These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

If you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus.

‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬‬
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭14‬‬
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬‬
For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body.

‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭20‬‬
And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬-‭9‬‬
But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.”

‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭9‬‬
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
