  1. Who are you following: Jesus or the world? Do you believe Jesus is the Messiah? Did He fulfill any OT prophecies that would prove He is the Messiah? If Jesus is the Messiah, shouldn’t we be following Him with all our hearts?

  2. 5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped , 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Phil 2:5-11 (NASB) (True or false)

  3. 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 1 Cor 15:3-4 (NASB) (True or false)

John 14:1-3 (NASB) (True or false)

  6. for unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins." John 8:24 (NASB) • 58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.“ 59 Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple. John 8:58-59 (NASB) 1/2

  7. 66 When it was day, the Council of elders of the people assembled, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him away to their council chamber, saying, 67 "If You are the Christ , tell us." But He said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe; 68 and if I ask a question, you will not answer. 69 "But from now on The Sonof Manwill be seatedat the righthand of the power of God .“ 70 And they all said, "Are You the Son of God, then?" And He said to them, "Yes, I am.“ 71 Then they said, "What further need do we have of testimony? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth." Luke 22:66-71 (NASB) 2/2

  8. If Jesus is the Messiah, then His promises are true! Promises like: John 3:16 John 14:1-3 1 John 3:2 Rev 22:5

  14. Nothing can separate us From His love For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, Nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, Nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor Depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, Rom 8:38-39

  15. We have to choose Jesus or the world

  16. Before you choose, remember these verses 15Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever. 1 John 2:15-17 (NASB)

  17. The World, or Jesus Which makes more sense?

  18. Follow Jesus! He holds the world and eternity!
