HE DIDN’T KNOW

MARK 10:17-27

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

I. HE DIDN’T KNOW WHO JESUS IS

1. The Mighty God [v. 17-18, 27; Is. 9:6]

- For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

2. The Lord Christ [Acts 10:36]  (Lord, Liar or Lunatic)

-The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

3. The Great Saviour [Titus 2:13]

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

II. HE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT HE WAS

1. A Confused Man [v. 15-18]

2. A Condemned Man [v. 19-22, Jn. 3:18]

- He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

3. A Conquered Man [v. 22-24, Heb. 12:1]

-the sin which doth so easily beset us

III. HE DIDN’T KNOW WHO GOD IS

1. The Author of the Book [Colossians 3:16, 2 Tm. 3:16, 2 Pt. 1:21]

-Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

- All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

- For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

2. The Author of the Universe [John 1:1-3]

- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

3. The Author of Eternal Life [Hebrews 5:9, 12:2]

-And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

-Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
