The Gospel of Mark
The Great I am – Week 4
Who is this man part 2
Pastor Joe Everette
Mark 14:60-62
Then the high priest stood up before the others and asked Jesus,
“Well, aren’t you going to answer these charges? What do you have to say for
yourself?” But Jesus was silent and made no reply. Then the high priest asked
him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?” Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of
power at God’s right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
The Great I am
Exodus 3:14
God replied to Moses, “I am who I am. Say this to the people of
Israel: I am has sent me to you.”
“I am who I am” in ancient Hebrew is Ehyey asher Ehyey
Ehyey – I am or I will be
Asher – Who
Ehyey – I am or I will be
I am who I will be
Jesus here confirms again that
he is fully God
Jesus was both fully Man and
fully God
Jesus is the bridge that joins
Man back to God
Seated at God’s right hand
Hebrews 4:14-16
So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This High Priest
of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we
do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious
God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we
need it most.
Jesus sits at the right hand of
God making intersession for you and me.
He understands our weaknesses.
Because of Jesus’ intersession
we can come boldly before the throne of God
Jesus is coming soon
Mark 13:26-33
Then everyone will see the Son of Man coming
on the clouds with great power and glory. And he will send out his angels to
gather his chosen ones from all over the world—from the farthest ends of the
earth and heaven. “Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud
and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near. In the same way,
when you see all these things taking place, you can know that his return is
very near, right at the door. I tell you the truth; this generation will not
pass from the scene before all these things take place. Heaven and earth will
disappear, but my words will never disappear. “However, no one knows the day or
hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son
himself. Only the Father knows. And since you don’t know when that time will
come, be on guard! Stay alert!
All the prophecies that need to be fulfilled before the return of
Christ have been
Jesus could return at any moment
He will call those who are called by his name
Are you ready?
