In Conclusion:
In this Bible Study type article, I have tried to show you how important Jesus Christ is to you and your salvation. He wears many hats so to speak. He has many jobs and fulfills many functions.
We must accept Jesus as our Lord and savior and glorify Him as our messiah. He paid the ultimate price: He died for us. We must teach our children about Jesus and sing songs and hymns about Him.
In our worship of Jesus we must not deny God the Father, but realize that God exalted Jesus and said that every knee would bow to Him. "Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, {10} that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, {11} and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" Phil 2:9-11 (NKJV).
One more verse to ponder from Jesus is from Mark 8:38 (NKJV): "For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."
