The One and Only (4 of 18)
Jerry Vines
Pastors Conference LifeWorks, #4 I'm in a series of messages which I have called life works. In this book it sets forth the fullness of Jesus Christ and our completeness in Him. We really learn how life works. As I was praying and preparing I asked the Lord what He would have me to preach. He said, ''Why don't you just preach to the preachers what you do to your folks on Sunday.'' So, you are going to just get what the home folks get in our series of messages in the book of Colossians.
I was in a bookstore sometime ago and I ran across a book entitled, One Jesus, Many Christs. I have thought that this book's title pretty well reflects the religious atmosphere in America. People are saying today that Jesus Christ is just one among many. There is no uniqueness, there is nothing out-of-the-ordinary about Jesus Christ. He is just one Jesus, but there are many Christs.
There are many today who say that it really doesn't matter what kind of religion you have if that religion works for you. If it is true for you, then it is true. There are those today who say, ''Well, you're a Christian. That's great. Jesus is a Messiah. I believe Ronald McDonald is a messiah so my truth is equally as valid and as real as your truth.''
It is the thesis of this book that Jesus Christ is not just prominent, He is pre- eminent. Jesus Christ is not just A way, He is THE way. Jesus Christ is not just A truth, He is THE truth. Jesus Christ is not just a life, He is THE life. Jesus Christ is not just one among many, Jesus is the ONE AND ONLY.
In these verses, this Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only is set forth in many ways. Jesus Christ is the one and only -
I. ABOVE The CREATION.
Jesus Christ is the Creator of the universe. What you believe about your origin will have a great deal to do with what you believe about your destiny. Jesus Christ is the One and Only, Above the Creation.
Focus on two words in verse ...
