CHRIST MY REDEEMER
Six P's are Persistent, Prior, Preparation,
Prevents, Poor, Performance.
Tonight we will look at the Four P's of Christ our redeemer.

LUKE 9: 55-56
Jesus and his disciples went into the village of Samaria and Jesus was not received because they saw he was a Jew on his way to Jerusalem.
His disciples suggested that fire be called down as with Elias.
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

Jesus came to redeem man.

1. Christ, My Personal Redeemer.
A. Gal. 2: 20 Paul says Christ is one,
"Who loved me."
Gal. 2: 20 Paul says Christ loved and died for him. 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
B. Rom. 6: 1- 6 This personal relationship is seen in obedience.
1. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Heb. 4: 14-16 He understands us.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
B. 1 John 4: 14 God sent the Saviour to
save.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
£. Rom. 6: 17 Paul says we are delivered through our obedience.
17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
We die to sin with Christ in baptism. We are planted with him in baptism. We are raised with him in baptism.

II. OUR Perfect Redeemer
A. Heb. 4: 14 - 16 He is perfect in every way.
Any thing or anyone else falls short of Jesus Christ.

III. Our Powerful Redeemer
A. Matt. 28: 18 - 20 God gave him all authority.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
C. Heb. 7: 25 Jesus is the only one with the power to save. Ver. 22 tells us he is Jesus.
D. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save
them to the uttermost that come
- =---unto God by him, seeing he ever
....----..-. ---
liveth to make intercession for them.

IV. Christ Our Redeemer Is Pleading.
A. Matt. 11: 28 - 30 Jesus says-
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
B. John 7: 37 - 38 Jesus had told them. 37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
V Jesus Christ is our ONLY Redeemer.
A. John 14: 6 - 7 Jesus told Phillip and the other disciples.
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should
have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

B. Acts 4: 12 Peter says there is one.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name
under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Who's name?
Verse 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.
c. Matt 28: 18 - 20 Jesus says how to be saved.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
D. 2 Cor. 5: 20 - 21 Are you an Ambassador for Christ?
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21 For he hath made him to be sin
for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Christ and Christ alone can save you. Personally, perfectly, powerfully and pleading. You must come to him. Will you come? Do you need to be baptized? Do you need prayer? What ever your need Christ can answer it.
