Matthew 8:23-27Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Without
warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept
over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and
woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so
afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. The
men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even
the winds and the waves obey him!”

John 11:38-44Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid
across the entrance. “Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.” Then Jesus said, “Did I not
tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” So they took away the
stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I
said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that
you sent me.” When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus,
come out!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of
linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes
and let him go.”

actions of God and
man
Key Point #1We know that Jesus is both God and man because the Bible calls
him both, tells us he has the characteristics of both, and tells us that he does the things that
both do.
How did Jesus become true man and true God together in one person?
Matthew 1:20-23But after he had considered
this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream
and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your
wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. “The virgin will be with child and will give
birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which
means, “God with us.”born of

Colossians 2:9

Key Point #4The second reason Jesus
became both God and man was so that he could die and by his death pay for the sins of the world.
Many people who call themselves Christians deny that Jesus was born of a virgin. Go back through our lesson for today, and think about the part
Jesus’ virgin birth plays in God’s plan to save us from sin. Then answer this question: “Is the doctrine of the virgin
birth an important truth to believe? Why or why not?
Agree or Disagree?
God died.
Luther once said that the devil would really be able to put a lot of doubt
about salvation in our minds when we are close to dying if he could come to
us and say, “Jesus can’t be your Savior because he is only a man!” or “Jesus
can’t be your Savior because he is only God!” How would Satan be able to put
a lot of doubt about our salvation in our minds if he could say either of those things to us when we are near
death?
