Lesson 39: Christ the King.
In our last lesson we learned that because of my relationship to Christ, my eternal future and glory are guaranteed.
1. Jesus is the head of all creation. The Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Christ means His rule, His reign. Wherever the rule of Christ is acknowledged and delighted in, there is Christ’s Kingdom and there He is King.

Study of Great Bible Truths – Lesson 38
¨ The effect upon God’s relationship with sinful man.
¨ 1st blessing– the forgiveness of sin once and for all. Hebrews 10:1-2 In the Old Testament sins were covered, but not blotted out. In the Lord’s work on the Cross, God has dealt with sin and has forgiven sins past, present and future. 1 John 1:1,7
Thought: Because of our relationship to Christ, our eternal future and glory are guaranteed.

Study of Great Bible Truths – Lesson 36
Last week we learned that the Atonement is the ONLY way whereby men and women can be reconciled to God. The death of our LORD Jesus Christ was and is essential to salvation.
2. The death of our Lord on the cross was an absolute necessity. There is only one way whereby men and women can be reconciled to God, and that is in and through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
3. The Bible states that our Lord Jesus Christ suffered the penalty of the broken law. The law pronounced a penalty when He, as our substitute, has borne in our stead.
4. The object of the burnt offerings and sacrifices in the Old Testament was to do something to God, not to influence man, they were designed to propitiate (appease) the wrath of God. The propitiation was secured to wipe out the guilt of sin. The effect of such sin offerings and burnt offerings was the pardon of the offender and his restoration to communion with God. Hebrews 9:22
5. The Old Testament sacrifices were pointing forward to the perfect sin offering that was to come: they foreshadowed the Lord Jesus Christ in His death.
6. The New Testament specifically teaches us that Christ saves us by His death. The death of our Lord upon the cross is directly mentioned 175 times in the New Testament. Apart from the blood we have no redemption. (Supporting scriptures: John 1:29, 1 Corinthians 5:7, Romans 3:25, Romans 5:6, Galatians 1:4, Ephesians 1:7, Ephesians 2:13, Hebrews 9:12,14, Hebrews 10:10,12,14, 1 Peter 1:18-19,1 Peter 3:18, 2 Peter 2:1, 1 John 1:7, and Revelation 1:5).
7. Scripture teaches us that the Atonement was in God’s mind before the foundation of the world. Acts 2:23
8. The Atonement was the only way in which the eternal character of God could be reconciled with itself and be vindicated. Not only before the whole world of men, but before the principalities and powers in heavenly places, before the devil and all the citizens of hell.

Study of Great Bible Truths – Lesson 35
In our last lesson Jesus in His role as Prophet has brought light into the world.
a. A Priest must be taken from among men in order to be their representative.
b. No man taketh the honor of Priest unto himself, but he is called of God (i.e., Aaron).
c. A Priest is active in the interest of men in all things pertaining to God.
d. A Priest is to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He propitiates by sacrifice and he intercedes on behalf of the people. ** Propitiation is that which satisfies the demands of the violated holiness of God.
a. Satisfaction must be offered to the offended God (Propitiation)
b. There must be a substitute of suffering and death on the part of someone who is innocent for the deserved punishment of the guilty.
c. A Community of Life needs to be brought about between the one who has been offended (God) and the offender (man).
Scriptures: Hebrews3:1, 4:14, 5:5, 6:20, 7:25-26, 8:1
Romans 3:24-25, 5, 6-8
1st Corinthians 5:7, 15:3
John 1:29, 3:14-15, 1st John 2:2
1st Peter 1:19, 2:24, 3:18
Thought: The Atonement explains Christ’s work as Priest. The Atonement is the ONLY way whereby men and women can be reconciled to God. The death of our LORD Jesus Christ was and is essential to salvation.
Study of Great Bible Truths – Lesson 34
In our last lesson we learned that Jesus has two distinct natures: Human Nature and Divine Nature.
1. God has been pleased to give us a revelation of Himself. We see it in history, in nature and in creation. He has also given us His Word, the Bible.
Thought: Jesus will continue in His Prophetic role until He has ultimately presented us as spotless before God.
Study of Great Bible Truths – Lesson 33
In our last lesson we learned that Jesus is the Eternal Son of God as well as the Son of Man.
2.God is the head of Christ. Jesus’ work (function) is to lead us and bring us to God. Hebrews 2:10, Jude 24. The work did not end with the Lord Himself; He takes us and brings us to God, the Father.
Thought: The Bible teaches us that Jesus is one person in two natures, Divine and Human.
