Behold the Lamb of God

To understand that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the very body of the Creator God in the flesh (that which is visible and tangible) is essential to our comprehension of the Gospel. The catch phrase "Jesus is Lord" is generic and ambiguous. What, exactly, does that mean? The phrase "Jesus is God" expresses a different tone and is more divisive and offensive. However, in our study so far, we have seen that that is exactly who He is. If you are truthful with yourself, the phrase, "Jesus is God" may take you back a little. The reason for that is because we have all been subjected to a watered-down Jesus. A more palatable Jesus. Palatable means, or often applies, to something that is "unexpectedly" found to be agreeable.
In the following weeks, we will take a closer look at the authentic Jesus. The Jesus that is Infinite, Eternal, and Perfect in holiness, in wisdom, in power, in love, in goodness, in truth and, yes, in judgement. We will continuously review the Pre-Incarnate Christ, but mostly dwell on the substance of the Christ Incarnate: His birth (which calls for an investigation into the "Person" of Christ), His life, (which calls for an investigation into the "Work" of Christ), His death (Which calls for an investigation into the sacrificial and substitutionary provisions of the Cross), His resurrection (which leads us into the the great doctrines of redemption, justification, election, glorification, propitiation, sanctification, etc.), His ascension into Glory (which speaks of His Heavenly Priesthood - the Mediator between God and man), and His return and reign (which speaks to the body of Christ in glorified body, redeemed Israel, and the nations in the Kingdom).
There are four main points that would be considered the sum and substance of Jesus Christ, the Creator God, becoming a man:
A. To save sinners (Luke 19:10; Luke 5: 31,32; I Tim 1:15)
B. T redeem Israel from the Law (Gal 4:4,5; Gal 3:19-22)
C. To fulfill the Law (Matt 5:17)
D. To confirm the promises that God made (Rom 15:18)

These four points are the headings under which those previously named aspects of Christ's personage would come under. We also see Christ as the answer to over 322 prophecies, not the least of which are found in the Gospels themselves.
A. In Matthew He is the King (Messiah) - Branch of David.
B. In Mark He is the Servant of God - Jehovah's Servant, the Branch.
C. In Luke He is the Son of Man - the man whose name is the Branch.
D. In John He is the Son of God - The Branch of the Lord.

A1. As the Branch of David (Isa 11:1; Jer 23:5; Jer 33:15) that is Messiah, "of the Seed of David according to the flesh" (Rom 1:3), revealed in his earthly glory as King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Luke 1:31,32; Rev 19:16).
B1. As Jehovah's Servant the Branch (Zech 3:8) Messiah's humiliation and obedience unto death according to Isa 52:13-15; Isa 53:1-12; Phil 2:5-8.
C1. The man whose name is the branch (Zech 6:12-13) that is, his character as Son of Man, the "last Adam", the second man (I Cor 15:45-47) reigning as Priest-King over the Earth in the dominion given to and lost by Adam.
D1. As the Branch of the Lord Jehovah (Isa 4:2). That is, the Immanuel (God is with us) character of Christ (Isa 7:14) to be fully manifested to restored Israel after his retrun in Divine Glory (Matt 25:31; Rev 21:3).
