1) THE STORY OF JESUS IS

Isaiah 40
8 The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.

2) JESUS WAS

3) JESUS HIS CLAIMS AND EVERY PROPHECY

Acts 2
22 “People of Israel, listen! God publicly endorsed Jesus the Nazarene by doing powerful miracles, wonders, and signs through him, as you well know. 23 But God knew what would happen, and his prearranged plan was carried out when Jesus was betrayed. With the help of lawless Gentiles, you nailed him to a cross and killed him. 24 But God released him from the horrors of death and raised him back to life, for death could not keep him in its grip.

Acts 2
36 “So let everyone in Israel know for certain that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, to be both Lord and Messiah!”

Mark 9
31 He said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise.”

4) JESUS’S STORY IS ABOUT NOT JUST SALVATION

Colossians 1
21 This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. 22 Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.

5) JESUS IS

Matthew 7
13 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. 14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.
