Salvation Is Jesus

The Glories of Christ

A few years ago, my college pastor gave us all a sheet of paper titled “The Glories of Christ.” It simply describes Jesus Christ using excerpts from the Bible. I would like to share it below:

One of the great tenets of Scripture is the claim that Jesus Christ is completely sufficient for all matters of life and godliness⁽¹⁾! He is sufficient for creation⁽²⁾,salvation⁽⁴⁾, and glorification⁽⁵⁾. So pure is He that there is no blemish, stain, spot of sin, defilement, lying, deception, corruption, error, or imperfection⁽⁶⁾.So complete is He that there is no other God besides Him⁽⁷⁾; He is the only begotten Son⁽⁸⁾; all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in Him⁽⁹⁾; the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily in Him⁽¹⁰⁾; he is heir of all things⁽¹¹⁾; He created all things and all things were made by Him, through Him, and for Him⁽¹²⁾; He upholds all things by the word of His Power⁽¹³⁾; He is the firstborn of all creation⁽¹⁴⁾; He is the exact representation of God⁽¹⁵⁾.

He is the only Mediator between God and man; He is the Sun that enlightens; the Physician that heals; the Wall of Fire that defends; the Friend that comforts; the Pearl that enriches; the Ark that supports; and the Rock to sustain under the heaviest of pressures; His is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty on high⁽¹⁶⁾; He is better than the angels⁽¹⁷⁾; better than Moses; better than Aaron, better than Joshua; better than Melchizedek; better than all the prophets; greater than Satan⁽¹⁸⁾; and stronger than death⁽¹⁹⁾.

He has no beginning and no end⁽²⁰⁾; He is the spotless Lamb of God; He is our Peace⁽²¹⁾; He is our Hope⁽²²⁾; He is our Life⁽²³⁾; He is the living and true Way⁽²⁴⁾; He is the Strength of Israel⁽²⁵⁾; He is the Root and Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star⁽²⁶⁾; He is Faithful and True⁽²⁷⁾; He is the Author and Finisher of our faith⁽²⁸⁾; he is the Captain of our salvation⁽²⁹⁾; he is the Champion; He is the Elect One⁽³⁰⁾; He is the Apostle and High-Priest of our confession⁽³¹⁾; He is the Righteous Servant⁽³²⁾.

He is the Lord of Hosts, the Redeemer - the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth⁽³³⁾; He is the Man of Sorrows⁽³⁴⁾; He is the Light; He is the Son of Man⁽³⁵⁾; He is the Vine; He is the Bread of Life; he is the Door; He is Lord⁽³⁶⁾; He is Prophet, Priest, and King⁽³⁷⁾; He is our Sabbath rest⁽³⁸⁾; He is our Righteousness⁽³⁹⁾; He is the Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace⁽⁴⁰⁾; He is the Chief Shepherd⁽⁴¹⁾; His is Lord God of hosts; He is Lord of the nations; He is the Lion of Judah; the Living Word; the Rock of Salvation; the Eternal Spirit; He is the Ancient of Days; Creator and Comforter; Messiah; and He is the great I AM⁽³²⁾!
