6. TRANSITION

BB –  We are talking today about  “Who Is Jesus?”

So JT What does that title bring up to your mind? ((JT ANSWERS))

7. Bob – POINT:  How would you answer the question posed to the disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” We can’t be neutral because salvation depends upon who we think Jesus is, rather who does the Bible say He is… and if frame our answer on the Word of God, we are safe….

Matthew 16:16 (ESV) — 16 Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

12. JT – This is the PowerBreak Podcast, I’m JT along with Bob Brubaker and this is the –– time for some questions and answers. Feel free to submit your questions by EMAIL TO JT@bobbrubaker.com and we’ll get to the answer on an upcoming PowerBreak. Podcast…

13. JT – Question ONE - FROM THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF LIFE….

Why is knowing who Jesus is. so important?

14. Bob & JT discuss

The most important things in life rest upon what we confess about Jesus.

Acts 4:12 (ESV) — 12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

Romans 10:8–13 (ESV) — 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Besides, every cult gets it wrong… and they dwell on the error… like Jesus is not really God, or He was a prophet, or a good man but NOT God manifest in the flesh.

1 John 4:1–3 (ESV) — 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.

15. JT – Question Two… “FROM THE MENTAL ASPECT”

Is this a mental ascent or a spiritual confession what we believe concerning Jesus?

16. Discussion

The Gospel is a result of hearing and understanding with the mind but of course the Holy Spirit has to prepare the mind to understand and the heart to receive.

Romans 10:17 (ESV) — 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

1 Corinthians 2:14 (ESV) — 14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

John 1:11–13 (ESV) — 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

Ephesians 1:19 (ESV) — 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might

17. Third question … Turning to the Physical

Can resistance training really reverse aging?

18. Bob & JT discuss

That’s what a recent study showed and it’s quite exciting.

From around age 40, our muscles start to age and we begin to loose mass and strength. The older we get the more sarcopenia sets in to further deteriate our muscles and soon we go from standing tall to leaning forward, to losing our ability to walk, to falling and breaking a hip…. and you know what often happens.

Stop the madness says a number of researchers who found that adding resistance training and any level can actually reverse things, which at first must put a halt to the decline.

It’s quite exciting when you think about it. You can really do something to reverse aging.

Any other thoughts JT?

Bob’s final comment – If. you could take a pill to reverse aging, would you take it? Sure everyone would… well the pill comes in the self-discipline to begin or add resistance training to your weekly schedule.

Point: DISCIPLINE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE --- in all aspects of life
