Jesus the Hero

You are my beloved son...

Jesus the Human needed affirmation before His ministry, so the Father gave it to him. Luke 3:22  He has given us a new identity in His Word if we will read it and accept it.   Paul told Philemon he was beloved, a brother, a workmate, and a partner to help him be a hero.

the heroic Holy Spirit

the Holy Spirit led all the actors in the gospels including Jesus.  He led in Acts as the Church did battle with the world.  He will lead us to do heroic things as we follow Jesus the hero.

Luke 3:1-2 Jesus' Impossible Task

At the beginning of Jesus' ministry Israel is ruled by terrible people in Rome and Israel.  Ezekiel 22;  Israel's sin has earned them their captivity.  Jesus' impossible mission is to defeat these men,  establish the gospel, and build His chrurh.  It was impossible, but He was not daunted.

The Reception of Jesus into Heaven

When the Father received Jesus into heaven He acknowledged to all creation that Jesus was the complete, successful, acceptable, Savior.

Jesus the Hero on the cross

In John 8:28 Jesus said that when the leaders of Israel lifted Him onto the cross they would realize who He was.  His heroism on the cross proved to them that He was indeed the Son of God, the Son of Man.
