In His Virtuous Life (2 Of 5)
Series: Just Know Him
James Merritt
Hebrews 4:15-16
Introduction
1. I am sure, as I preach this series of messages on Jesus, many of you have probably had the attitude of: ''I wonder why he wants to preach five messages On Jesus. Everybody knows what Christians believe About Jesus.'' well, you might be surprised.
2. I pulled this out of a magazine. It was an article with a headline: ''what do Christians believe About Jesus?'' most americans-80% according to surveys, call themselves Christians.

He said, ''Mrs. Jones, you have met a perfect Person?''
She said, ''yes sir, I have.''
He said, ''who might that be?'' she said, ''my Husband's first wife.''

6. Jesus never thought sin, Jesus never wrought Sin, Jesus never taught sin, and Jesus never caught Sin. He lived thirty-three years on this earth, Untainted by the fault of sin, untarnished by the Flaw of sin, and untouched by the finger of sin.
