A Sermon by Reverend Hollis Ray Mathis

reetings, holy children of God, in the wonderful name of our lord and saviour Jesus, the Christ. The sermon subject for today is:

The Son Of Man

THERE ARE THREE WAYS THAT KNOWLEDGE COMES INTO THE BRAIN THROUGH PERCEPTION, THE THINGS YOU SEE, HEAR, TASTE, SMELL, TOUCH. KNOWLEDGE COMES INTO THE BRAIN THROUGH EXPERIENCE, THE THINGS YOU DO. KNOWLEDGE COMES INTO THE BRAIN CONCERNING GOD THE FATHER, AND GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY GHOST BY REVELATION. LK:10:22 ALL THINGS ARE DELIVERED TO ME OF MY FATHER: AND NO MAN KNOWETH WHO THE SON IS, BUT THE FATHER; AND WHO THE FATHER IS, BUT THE SON, AND HE TO WHOM THE SON WILL REVEAL HIM. A PERSON CANNOT EVEN CALL JESUS CHRIST “LORD”, EXCEPT IT BE REVEALED TO THEM. 1COR:12:3 WHEREFORE I GIVE YOU TO UNDERSTAND, THAT NO MAN SPEAKING BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD CALLETH JESUS ACCURSED; AND THAT NO MAN CAN SAY THAT JESUS IS THE LORD, BUT BY THE HOLY GHOST. JESUS ASKED HIS DISCIPLES THIS QUESTION, WHO DO YOU SAY I AM? PETER SAID THOU ART THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD. MT:16:15 HE SAITH UNTO THEM, BUT WHOM SAY YE THAT I AM? 16. AND SIMON PETER ANSWERED AND SAID, THOU ART THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD. MT:16:17 AND JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, BLESSED ART THOU, SIMON BARJONA: FOR FLESH AND BLOOD HATH NOT REVEALED IT UNTO THEE, BUT MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN. IN THE BEGINNING OF CREATION BEFORE THE SUN, AND THE MOON, WERE CREATED GOD THE FATHER SPOKE, AND HE TOOK HIS WORD, AND SHAPED HIS WORD IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE WORD OF GOD BECAME THE SON OF GOD. JN:1:1 IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. JESUS CHRIST AS THE WORD OF GOD HAD BEEN IN GOD THE FATHER FROM EVERLASTING. MI:5:2 BUT THOU, BETHLEHEM EPHRATAH, THOUGH THOU BE LITTLE AMONG THE THOUSANDS OF JUDAH, YET OUT OF THEE SHALL HE COME FORTH UNTO ME THAT IS TO BE RULER IN ISRAEL: WHOSE GOINGS FORTH HAVE BEEN FROM OF OLD, FROM EVERLASTING. JESUS CHRIST IS THE FIRST BORN OF EVERY CREATURE. COL:1:15 WHO IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE. JESUS CHRIST GOD’S DARLING SON, IS A CREATURE, A CREATED BEING, AND IS THE ONLY GOD EVER FORMED, OR EVER SHALL BE FORMED. IS:43:10 YE ARE MY WITNESSES, SAITH THE LORD, AND MY SERVANT WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN: THAT YE MAY KNOW AND BELIEVE ME, AND UNDERSTAND THAT I AM HE: BEFORE ME THERE WAS NO GOD FORMED, NEITHER SHALL THERE BE AFTER ME. 11. I, EVEN I, AM THE LORD; AND BESIDE ME THERE IS NO SAVIOUR. WHEN GOD THE FATHER CREATED THE LORD JESUS, HE CREATED JESUS EQUAL TO HIMSELF. FOR ANY TWO THINGS TO BE EQUAL THEY MUST BE IDENTICAL. THEREFORE WAS JESUS THE SAME SIZE AS GOD THE FATHER, DID HE HAVE THE SAME APPEARANCE AS GOD THE FATHER, WAS HE OF THE SAME SUBSTANCE , DID HE HAVE THE SAME POWER? YES JESUS, THE SON OF GOD, WAS CREATED IDENTICAL TO THE FATHER. PHIL:2:6 WHO, BEING IN THE FORM OF GOD, THOUGHT IT NOT ROBBERY TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD: IT WAS BY JESUS CHRIST THAT GOD THE FATHER CREATED ALL THINGS. TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA OF THE POWER OF JESUS , HE CREATED THE SUN, AND THE MOON, AND THE STARS, AND PLACED THEM IN SPACE IN ONE DAY. EPH:3:9 AND TO MAKE ALL MEN SEE WHAT IS THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY, WHICH FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD HATH BEEN HID IN GOD, WHO CREATED ALL THINGS BY JESUS CHRIST: WHEN JESUS CREATED THE MAN ADAM, HE CREATED ADAM A LIVING SOUL. WHEN GOD THE FATHER CREATED JESUS HIS SON HE CREATED JESUS A LIFE GIVING SPIRIT, A QUICKENING SPIRIT. 1COR:15:45 AND SO IT IS WRITTEN, THE FIRST MAN ADAM WAS MADE A LIVING SOUL; THE LAST ADAM WAS MADE A QUICKENING SPIRIT. BEFORE JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD BEING BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY, GOD’S CHILDREN KNEW THAT GOD HAD A SON BUT DID NOT KNOW HIS NAME . PRV:30:4 WHO HATH ASCENDED UP INTO HEAVEN, OR DESCENDED? WHO HATH GATHERED THE WIND IN HIS FISTS? WHO HATH BOUND THE WATERS IN A GARMENT? WHO HATH ESTABLISHED ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH? WHAT IS HIS NAME, AND WHAT IS HIS SON’S NAME, IF THOU CANST TELL? BEFORE GOD THE FATHER SENT JESUS INTO THE WORLD, JESUS APPEARED TO MEN BY THE NAME “THE WORD OF THE LORD.” IN THESE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE JESUS IS SPEAKING TO JEREMIAH. JER:1:4 THEN THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING, 5. BEFORE I FORMED THEE IN THE BELLY I KNEW THEE; AND BEFORE THOU CAMEST FORTH OUT OF THE WOMB I SANCTIFIED THEE, AND I ORDAINED THEE A PROPHET UNTO THE NATIONS. WHEN ADAM COMMITTED THE ORIGINAL SIN, SIN CAME INTO THE WORLD AND POLLUTED, CONTAMINATED, AND MADE UNCLEAN, GOD’S CREATION. THE SPIRIT OF GOD DEPARTED FROM ADAM, ALL MANKIND WAS IN ADAM AT THE TIME THAT ADAM TRANSGRESSED GOD’S COMMANDMENT, AND BECAUSE OF OUR PHYSICAL UNION WITH ADAM SIN WAS IMPUTED UNTO ALL HUMANITY. WITH SIN CAME DEATH, (THE INNER MAN THE SOUL DIED,) 1COR:15:22 FOR AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE. DEATH, THE SPIRITUAL DEATH, REIGNED UPON ALL MEN FROM ADAM UNTIL MOSES’ . WHEN MOSES WAS BORN GOD CHOSE HIM A PEOPLE ISRAEL, AND ALLOWED THEM TO PUT OFF THE SPIRITUAL DEATH BY USING THE SCRAPE GOAT UNTIL CHRIST CAME INTO THE WORLD. THERE WAS NOT A SACRIFICE IN ALL THE WORLD THAT COULD BE OFFERED UP TO GOD THE FATHER TO ATONE FOR OUR SINS. THEREFORE GOD SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON INTO THE WORLD. JN:3:17 FOR GOD SENT NOT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD; BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED. WHEN JESUS CHRIST CAME INTO THE WORLD BEING BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY, HE WAS OF TWO NATURES; HE WAS BOTH GOD, AND MAN. I BELIEVE THAT HE WAS GOD, (ABLE TO RAISE THE DEAD, MAKE BLIND EYES SEE, COMMAND THE WIND AND THE WAVES AND THEY OBEYED HIM,) I BELIEVE JESUS THE SON OF MARY, WAS GOD BECAUSE OF THIS SCRIPTURE. MT:1:23 BEHOLD, A VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD, AND SHALL BRING FORTH A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME EMMANUEL, WHICH BEING INTERPRETED IS, GOD WITH US. I BELIEVE THAT JESUS, THE SON OF THE VIRGIN MARY, WAS A MAN (ABLE TO SUFFER BLEED, AND DIE,) BECAUSE OF THESE SCRIPTURES. HEB:2:16 FOR VERILY HE TOOK NOT ON HIM THE NATURE OF ANGELS; BUT HE TOOK ON HIM THE SEED OF ABRAHAM. 17. WHEREFORE IN ALL THINGS IT BEHOVED HIM TO BE MADE LIKE UNTO HIS BRETHREN, THAT HE MIGHT BE A MERCIFUL AND FAITHFUL HIGH PRIEST IN THINGS PERTAINING TO GOD, TO MAKE RECONCILIATION FOR THE SINS OF THE PEOPLE. JESUS THE SON OF GOD, AND THE SON OF THE VIRGIN MARY WHEN HE WAS BORN INTO THE WORLD HE WAS WITHOUT SPOT, WITHOUT SIN, AND WITHOUT BLEMISH, HIS PHYSICAL BODY WAS PERFECT. 1PT:1:18 FORASMUCH AS YE KNOW THAT YE WERE NOT REDEEMED WITH CORRUPTIBLE THING, AS SILVER AND GOLD, FROM YOUR VAIN CONVERSATION RECEIVED BY TRADITION FROM YOUR FATHERS; 19. BUT WITH THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST, AS OF A LAMB WITHOUT BLEMISH AND WITHOUT SPOT. JESUS, THE SON OF MAN, WAS IN THE WORLD. AND THE WORLD WAS MADE BY HIM. JN:1:10 HE WAS IN THE WORLD, AND THE WORLD WAS MADE BY HIM, AND THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT. I BELIEVE WHEN JESUS WAS BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY; HE CAME INTO THIS WORLD IN THE FLESH. 1JN:4:2 HEREBY KNOW YE THE SPIRIT OF GOD: EVERY SPIRIT THAT CONFESSETH THAT JESUS CHRIST IS COME IN THE FLESH IS OF GOD. WHEN JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD THERE WAS NO REASON FOR PEOPLE TO TAKE NOTICE OF HIM FOR HE WAS NOT EXCEPTIONALLY TALL OR EXCEPTIONAL HANDSOME. HE DID NOT LIVE IN A PALACE, NOR DID HE HAVE MEN RUNNING BEFORE HIM PROCLAIMING THAT THE KING IS COMING. IS:53:2 FOR HE SHALL GROW UP BEFORE HIM AS A TENDER PLANT, AND AS A ROOT OUT OF A DRY GROUND: HE HATH NO FORM NOR COMELINESS; AND WHEN WE SHALL SEE HIM, THERE IS NO BEAUTY THAT WE SHOULD DESIRE HIM. JESUS AS THE SON OF GOD, THE SON OF MAN WAS DESPISED, AND REJECTED OF MEN, A MAN ACQUAINTED WITH SORROW. IS:53:3 HE IS DESPISED AND REJECTED OF MEN; A MAN OF SORROWS, AND ACQUAINTED WITH GRIEF: AND WE HID AS IT WERE OUR FACES FROM HIM; HE WAS DESPISED, AND WE ESTEEMED HIM NOT. THERE IS ONE GOD HEAD, AND IN THE GODHEAD THERE ARE THREE DEVINE PERSONS, GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON AND GOD THE HOLY GHOST. EACH ONE HAS SOME UNIQUE QUALITIES FOR EXAMPLE NO MAN HAS SEEN GOD THE FATHER AT ANY TIME. JN:1:18 NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME; THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHICH IS IN THE BOSOM OF THE FATHER, HE HATH DECLARED HIM. JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF THE VIRGIN MARY HAS THE ONLY NAME UNDER HEAVEN WHEREBY MEN MAY BE SAVED. THE APOSTLE PETER IS SPEAKING, AND HE SAYS, ACTS:4:10 BE IT KNOWN UNTO YOU ALL, AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, THAT BY THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH, WHOM YE CRUCIFIED, WHOM GOD RAISED FROM THE DEAD, EVEN BY HIM DOTH THIS MAN STAND HERE BEFORE YOU WHOLE. ACTS:4:12 NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: FOR THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED. THIS IS THE UNIQUE QUALITY OF THE HOLY GHOST , IF ANY MAN SPEAKS A WORD AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST IT SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN HIM IN THIS WORLD NEITHER IN THE WORLD TO COME. MT:12:32 AND WHOSOEVER SPEAKETH A WORD AGAINST THE SON OF MAN, IT SHALL BE FORGIVEN HIM: BUT WHOSOEVER SPEAKETH AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST, IT SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN HIM, NEITHER IN THIS WORLD, NEITHER IN THE WORLD TO COME. JESUS CHRIST WHEN HE REFERS TO HIS OUTWARD PHYSICAL MAN, THE SON OF MARY, HE REFERS TO HIMSELF AS THE SON OF MAN. MT:18:11 FOR THE SON OF MAN IS COME TO SAVE THAT ‘WHICH WAS LOST. SIN IS TRANSFERABLE, AS AARON LAID HIS HANDS UPON THE HEAD OF THE SCAPE GOAT, AND READ OVER THE HEAD OF THAT GOAT ALL THE SINS OF ISRAEL, PLACING THE SINS OF ISRAEL UPON THE HEAD OF THAT GOAT SO GOD THE FATHER PLACED OUR SINS COMMITTED BEFORE OUR NEW BIRTH, AND SINS OF IGNORANCE UPON JESUS. IS:53:6 ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY; WE HAVE TURNED EVERY ONE TO HIS OWN WAY; AND THE LORD HATH LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL. JESUS LIVED A PERFECT LIFE, AFTER WE HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, AFTER WE HAVE RECEIVED THE NEW BIRTH, AND BECOME A MEMBER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, BECAUSE OF OUR SPIRITUAL UNION WITH CHRIST WE ARE SAVED BY HIS LIFE. ROM:5:9 MUCH MORE THEN, BEING NOW JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, WE SHALL BE SAVED FROM WRATH THROUGH HIM. 10. FOR IF, WHEN WE WERE ENEMIES, WE WERE RECONCILED TO GOD BY THE DEATH OF HIS SON, MUCH MORE, BEING RECONCILED, WE SHALL BE SAVED BY HIS LIFE. WHAT DID JESUS THE SON OF MAN ACCOMPLISH ON THE CROSS? AS THE NAILS WENT THROUGH HIS FLESH IT WAS IN THE FLESH, THAT THE ENMITY, ANGER, THAT GOD HAD FOR MAN WAS ABOLISHED. EPH:2:15 HAVING ABOLISHED IN HIS FLESH THE ENMITY, EVEN THE LAW OF COMMANDMENTS CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES; FOR TO MAKE IN HIMSELF OF TWAIN ONE NEW MAN, SO MAKING PEACE; AS THE NAIL STRUCK THE CROSS IT NAILED EVERY ORDINANCE THAT WAS AGAINST US TO THE CROSS, COL:2:14 BLOTTING OUT THE HANDWRITING OF ORDINANCES THAT WAS AGAINST US, WHICH WAS CONTRARY TO US, AND TOOK IT OUT OF THE WAY, NAILING IT TO HIS CROSS; AND WHEN THE MEN LIFTED HIM UP ON THE CROSS HE TOOK THE CURSE OR SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION AGAINST US AWAY. GAL:3:13 CHRIST HATH REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW, BEING MADE A CURSE FOR US: FOR IT IS WRITTEN, CURSED IS EVERY ONE THAT HANGETH ON A TREE: WHEN THE SON OF MAN HANG ON THE CROSS HE TORE DOWN THE PARTITION BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GENTILE, AND MADE OF THE TWO ONE NEW MAN IN CHRIST. EPH:2:11 WHEREFORE REMEMBER, THAT YE BEING IN TIME PAST GENTILES IN THE FLESH, WHO ARE CALLED UNCIRCUMCISION BY THAT WHICH IS CALLED THE CIRCUMCISION IN THE FLESH MADE BY HANDS; 12. THAT AT THAT TIME YE WERE WITHOUT CHRIST, BEING ALIENS FROM THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL, AND STRANGERS FROM THE COVENANTS OF PROMISE, HAVING NO HOPE, AND WITHOUT GOD IN THE WORLD: 13. BUT NOW IN CHRIST JESUS YE WHO SOMETIMES WERE FAR OFF ARE MADE NIGH BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. 14. FOR HE IS OUR PEACE, WHO HATH MADE BOTH ONE, AND HATH BROKEN DOWN THE MIDDLE WALL OF PARTITION BETWEEN US; IT WAS ON THE CROSS THAT JESUS MADE AN ATONEMENT, MADE AMENDS, PAID THE PRICE FOR OUR REDEMPTION, BELOW IS RECORDED THE GREATEST HAPPENING SINCE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD. THE RECONCILIATION OF GOD, AND MAN. JN:20:19 THEN THE SAME DAY AT EVENING, BEING THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, WHEN THE DOORS WERE SHUT WHERE THE DISCIPLES WERE ASSEMBLED FOR FEAR OF THE JEWS, CAME JESUS AND STOOD IN THE MIDST, AND SAITH UNTO THEM, PEACE BE UNTO YOU. 20. AND WHEN HE HAD SO SAID, HE SHEWED UNTO THE, HIS HANDS AND HIS SIDE. THEN WERE THE DISCIPLES GLAD, WHEN THEY SAW THE LORD. 21. THEN SAID JESUS TO THEM AGAIN, PEACE BE UNTO YOU: AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. 22. AND WHEN HE HAD SAID THIS, HE BREATHED ON THEM, AND SAITH UNTO THEM, RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST: 23. WHOSE SOEVER SINS YE REMIT, THEY ARE REMITTED UNTO THEM; AND WHOSE SOEVER SINS YE RETAIN, THEY ARE RETAINED. IN THE WORLD TO COME JESUS THE SON OF MAN SHALL RECEIVE A EVERLASTING KINGDOM. DN:7:9 I BEHELD TILL THE THRONES WERE CAST DOWN, AND THE ANCIENT OF DAYS DID SIT, WHOSE GARMENT WAS WHITE AS SNOW, AND THE HAIR OF HIS HEAD LIKE THE PURE WOOL: HIS THRONE WAS LIKE THE FIERY FLAME, AND HIS WHEELS AS BURNING FIRE. 10. A FIERY STREAM ISSUED AND CAME FORTH FROM BEFORE HIM: THOUSAND THOUSANDS MINISTERED UNTO HIM, AND TEN THOUSAND TIMES TEN THOUSAND STOOD BEFORE HIM: THE JUDGMENT WAS SET, AND THE BOOKS WERE OPENED. DN:7:13 I SAW IN THE NIGHT VISIONS, AND, BEHOLD, ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN CAME WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN, AND CAME TO THE ANCIENT OF DAYS, AND THEY BROUGHT HIM NEAR BEFORE HIM. 14. AND THERE WAS GIVEN HIM DOMINION, AND GLORY, AND A KINGDOM , THAT ALL PEOPLE, NATIONS, AND LANGUAGES, SHOULD SERVE HIM: HIS DOMINION IS AN EVERLASTING DOMINION, WHICH SHALL NOT PASS AWAY, AND HIS KINGDOM THAT WHICH SHALL NOT BE DESTROYED.
