Who is God?

We are made in God's image. God is a father. Fatherhood is ingrained in who God is and who he wants us to understand him to be! God is plural, father, son and spirit. What can we learn about who God is from what God does?

Matthew 19:1-3;13-15

Jesus is in the middle of a controversial question of the day and he is interrupted with little children! How does Jesus respond?

Jesus always was! He is present, past and future. John 1:1; Genesis 49:8-9 Jesus was/is the king that the Old Testament scriptures talk about. 2 Samuel 7:12-13; Deuteronomy 18:15; Isaiah 53:5-12

Jesus the powerful king who was victorious through becoming the suffering servant!

Jesus lived and was fully human! Jesus became hungry, experienced pain, had weakness in his human condition. Hebrews 5:7-8 Jesus learned obedience through suffering. How do we expect to learn in any other way? He suffered the loss of a father and cared for a widowed mother.

1 corinthians 15:20-25; hebrews 2:14-15
