Consider the Uniqueness of Jesus

Consider the Uniqueness of Jesus
Luke 24:13-32
Pastor Terry Wilcox

Unique means one and only, without equal.
A.D. = Latin Anno Domini = in the year of our Lord.
B.C. = before Christ.

Why is Jesus like no other?

1. He is God’s Son.
   I John 4:9; I John 5:18
   No other religion makes the bold claim that God took on human flesh.
   John 1:14; Philippians 2:5
2. Jesus is unique because He didn’t stay dead.
   Consider the cost to those who said He’s alive.
3. Jesus is like no other because people change when they know Him.
   Know as by information or experience.
   A. The resurrected Jesus changes conversation. Luke 24:17
       (No Jesus, no peace; know Jesus, know peace.)
   B. The resurrected Jesus changes your understanding of scripture.
       There are 300 Old Testament prophecies fulfilled by Jesus.
       Two tests of conspiracy: (1) Number of those lying.
                                                     (2) Do they profit by the lie?
   C. The resurrected Jesus changes our witness.
        Luke 24:37-40
        People not likely to walk seven miles in the dark without strong motivation.

What is your view of Jesus?

Know Him from history? Skeptical? Or know Him by experience.
