"Who is Jesus?" According to Matthew

Episode #7: Matthew – Who is Jesus? 1. Jesus, the Creator of the Universe Jesus was not just a man—He is the Creator. "Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made." (John 1:3) Jesus is the Word of God made flesh (John 1:14). He existed before time and was actively involved in creation (Colossians 1:16-17). 2. The Fall of Man and the Loss of Relationship Adam lost our ability to have a pure relationship with God (Genesis 3:8-10). Sin caused separation from God's presence and intimacy. The curse of sin resulted in death, suffering, and broken fellowship. Jesus restored our relationship with God (Romans 5:18-19). Through Jesus' sacrifice, we are reconciled to God. Now, we can experience direct communion with Him again (Hebrews 4:16). 3. Jesus Brings Order to Chaos In creation, God spoke, and order came out of chaos (Genesis 1:1-3). Jesus does the same in our lives: He brings peace in storms (Mark 4:39). He brings healing to the broken (Isaiah 61:1-3). He brings clarity to confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). Without Jesus, our lives remain in spiritual disorder. 4. The Power of the Spoken Word of God Adam and Eve had the spoken word of God. They knew God's command but didn't use it as their weapon. When Satan twisted God's words, they listened instead of resisting (Genesis 3:1-6). Jesus used the Word of God to defeat Satan. In the wilderness, Jesus fought temptation by speaking Scripture (Matthew 4:1-11). "It is written..." was His response every time Satan attacked. If Adam and Eve had done what Jesus did, Satan would have had to leave. The power to overcome temptation was always there—but they failed to use it. This teaches us that victory is in the Word of God when we declare it with faith. Final Thoughts Jesus is the Creator, the Restorer, and the Word Made Flesh. He redeemed what Adam lost, bringing us back into a right relationship with God. When we use God's Word, we walk in the same victory that Jesus demonstrated. Satan's only power is deception—and the Word of God is our greatest weapon.
