Who Is Jesus?

Isaiah chapter 4 God is talking about the branch from God.   This branch is to come out of the house of Jesse (Isaiah 11:1)   This makes him a descendant of David.  (2 Samuel 7:12-13)   He will be endowed with the Holy Spirit.  He is to possess wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and reverence for God.  He will not judge impartially but in righteousness.  He will decide fairly, but ultimately he will deal with the wicked. 

Isaiah 4:2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and splendid for them that have escaped of Israel.

Jesus was endowed with the Spirit of God

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those that are broken,

Jesus is the branch of God spoken about by Isaiah the prophet.   The bible says that Jesus went about doing good and healing all those who were oppressed of the devil. 

Matthew 12: 15But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from there: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

16And charged them that they should not make him known:

17That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,

18Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show justice to the Gentiles.

19He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

20A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he sends forth justice unto victory.

21And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

Jesus came to redeem mankind from the curse of sin and death, and to fulfill all the prophecies of the messiah he is coming back again on the clouds of glory to rule and to reign.

Revelation 9:

11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon it was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he does judge and make war.

12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

13And he was clothed with a robe dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15And out of his mouth goes forth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16And he has on his robe and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Messiah, the branch, promised by God has come into the World, that branch is Jesus.  He healed the sick, raised the dead, cast out demons, and shed his blood for the salvation of all mankind.   Jesus is the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world.  And he is coming back again in clouds of Glory to receive us to himself. 

Will you pray today and ask God to reveal to you who Jesus is?  Say this prayer with me.  God, would you reveal to me who Jesus is?  amen.
