Is Jesus the Son of God? The Qu'ran states that Jesus is a prophet and is the Messiah. Jesus is a word from Allah but not The Word. In the Qu'ran, Adam is also a word from Allah. There is no one who can claim to be the Son of God or Child of God because this blasphemy reduces God to the level of humans. They do believe however that Jesus is the Messiah (different meaning), born of a virgin, who performed miracles, and lived a sinless life. The Qu'ran teaches that Jesus will return again as the Messiah, but his role in the end times events will be minor compared to Muhammad. As noted above, Islam denies the deity of Christ, his crucifixion, his resurrection, his atoning sacrifice, and his unique relationship with God the Father. Muslims often discount the miracles Jesus performed and compare them with the miracles of other prophets. They look at the individual miracles but overlook the whole person and life of Christ.
By the end of this sermon there will be no doubt in your mind that Jesus Christ is the true Messiah and Lord of all!

God declared that in spite of persecution and the periodic wholesale slaughter of Jews, He would not let His chosen people be destroyed, but would preserve them as an identifiable ethnic, national group.
God promised the children of Israel great blessing in the land of promise if they would remain faithful to Him. He also predicted great suffering, persecution and worldwide dispersion when they forsook Him.
So far the story is hardly remarkable. Other peoples have believed that a certain geographic area was their "Promised Land" and after entering it have later been driven out by enemies. The next seven prophecies, however, and their fulfillment,...[ abbreviated | read entire ]
In order to view modern world events in a biblical perspective, we have to take off the glasses provided to us by secular journalists and historians, and put on our biblical glasses that see the movements of the nations from the microscopic...[ abbreviated | read entire ]
The modern miracle of the restoration of Israel, although mostly in unbelief, is but the prelude of even more climactic developments. The world will continue on without the believing Church inexorably toward its time of judgment and the wrath...[ abbreviated | read entire ]
