TOPIC: JESUS CHRIST: THE END OF ALL OF MAN’S STRUGGLES
TEXT: JOHN 14:6; 1 TIM. 2:5-6;
Jesus Christ is the end of all struggles man is going through. The woman with the issue of blood was plagued with an illness that could not be healed with man’s prescriptions, she suffered for so many years but when she met Jesus her struggles came to an end ( Mark5:25-34). No wonder He said " come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matt.11:28-30. Many are already in Christ but are still running from pillar to post struggling and looking for solution to their problems. This is largely because many churchgoers do not know JESUS CHRIST. Some Christians only know Him as a punctuation sign in their prayers. In church today, we teach all kinds of things except teachings centred on Jesus Christ. The people's faith are on many mundane things ( sinking sand), rather than on Jesus Christ (the Solid Rock).

It is through Jesus all of God’s ways and eternal purposes are made manifest or known. Outside of Jesus, God remains a mystery. Jesus Christ is the unbundling of the mystery of God. Jesus Christ is not God’s assistant, neither is He one of the Gods in heaven, Jesus Christ of Nazareth is God.
Jesus answered Philip, “whoever has seen me has seen the father”. The father is Jesus and Jesus is the father (John 14:8-9). God is seen in the person of Jesus.
THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT JESUS CHRIST (JOHN 1:1-5, 14)
>The Word which is God Almighty Himself was made flesh
>His name was not Jesus before He came into the world.
In the pre-creation, he was not called Jesus, but “The Word”.
>It was for the sake of man’s redemption He had to come to now have a name.
The name was to carry the symbol of His assignment to the world.
