DECONSTRUCTING JESUS: The Messiah November 20, 2022 | Pastor Derek | Matthew 16:13-19; Genesis 3:15  Big Idea: Jesus is the victorious Messiah, and his ultimate victory is still to come!   Whispers of the Coming Messiah   Genesis 3:15 - protoevangelium = first gospel   2 Sam 7:13 – Line of David    Isaiah 53:3 – Suffering servant    The Fulfillment of Messiah in Jesus.   Jesus was Born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2; Matthew 2:4-5)   Jesus declared the kingdom (Mark 1:14, Isaiah 61, Luke 4:18-19)  Jesus Owned his Role as Messiah  Jesus’ Baptism as an Ordination Ceremony (John 1:29; Mark 1:10)  Jesus low-key picked fights with earthly kings (Luke 7:24; 14:31; 13:32-34)   Jesus rode into Jerusalem as the King (Zechariah 9:9)   Jesus received people’s worship (Luke 19:39-40)   Jesus declared he was Messiah from the cross. (Mark 15:34)    Reflection:  What would you need to change if you embraced the fact that Jesus is the true king of your life?
