The Holy One of Israel
There was a man whose father was God Himself.
(see 1 Chronicles 17:13; Hosea 11:1; Matthew 3:17; Luke 3:22)
He was not a descendant of Adam.
(see Matthew 1:20)
He came down from heaven.
(see John 6:38)
He called Himself - 'the Son of God'.
(see Luke 1:32)
His mother was a virgin.
(see Isaiah 7:14)
He is also 'the Son of Man'.
(see Psalm 22:1-31; Daniel 7:13; Matthew 8:20, 16:27; Revelation 1:13)
He is the only person
who gave a name to Himself before He was born.
(see Isaiah 49:1; Matthew 1:21)
He was born as a man to save all sinners in the world.
(see Matthew 18:11; Luke 19:10; John 1:1-3, 1:14, 6:51. 6:53-54, 12:46-48)
Because God's children are human beings -
made of flesh and blood -
He also became flesh and blood by being born in human form.
For only as a human being could He die,
and only by dying could He break the power of the Devil,
who had the power of death.
(see Hebrews 2:14-15)
He is both the source of David
and the heir to his throne,
'the Bright Morning Star'.
(see Revelation 22:16)
He came to His own and His own did not receive Him.
(see Isaiah 1:4, 5:19, 5:24, 37:23; John 1:11)
He had no sin.
(see Hebrews 4:15)
As a man, He defeated Satan.
(see Matthew 4:1-11)
He was given by God to His people.
(see Matthew 15:24; Isaiah 9:6-7, 42:6, 49:8, 53:1-12)
He is the 'One Time Priest'
who used His own blood
to cleanse the sins of all man
and to secure the salvation for all His TRUE believers.
(see Isaiah 55:6-7; Hebrews 9:12; John 6:40)
He laid down His life voluntarily, and
He also had the power to take it again.
(see John 10:18)
He is the Resurrection and the Life.
(see John 11:25; Revelation 1:17-18)
He was the first man
resurrected to eternal life
on the third day following His death.
(see Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:6-7; John 3:13, 11:25-26;
1 Corinthians 15:4; Revelation 1:17-18)
He was resurrected by His own power.
(see John 2:19-22)
He is the Way, the Truth and the Life,
NO ONE CAN GO TO HEAVEN
EXCEPT THROUGH HIM.
(see John 14:6; Isaiah 30:15)
He is 'the Gate',
(see John 10:9)
'the Good Shepherd'
(see Psalm 23:1-6; Ezekiel 34:11-16, 34:23-24,

and the only one who will save His people
the Second Time
by bringing the remnant few of Jacob's descendants
to God's Promised Land - the New Jerusalem,
without leaving anyone behind.

He is the Light to guide all nations to God.
(see Isaiah 42:1-9)
Only those who believe in Him
and OBEY Him
will have eternal life.
(see John 3:36, Matthew 7:21-23)
When you look for Him earnestly,
you will find Him.
(see Jeremiah 29:13-14; Isaiah 65:1; Matthew 7:7-8)
Whoever finds Him finds life.
