Who Is Jesus Notes
Dr. William Holman concludes his comprehensive ‘Who is Jesus?’ series by unveiling the magnificent orchestration of the Trinity in creation and redemption. The Father emerges as the master architect, holding the eternal blueprints with every believer’s name written in His book. This divine planner has already mapped out everything pertaining to our lives, requiring us only to discover our place in relationship with Him. Jesus Christ serves as the master builder and contractor, the One through whom all things were made according to John’s Gospel. Nothing exists that hasn’t been created by and for His pleasure, establishing Him as both creator and sustainer of all reality. The Holy Spirit completes this divine trinity by breathing life into what the Father planned and Jesus built. This breath of life transforms static plans into dynamic, living realities that impact our daily existence. Dr. Holman emphasizes that spiritual maturity occurs through divine progressions, not instantaneous transformations. Every believer experiences the journey from faith to faith, where we first hear God’s word and promises. We then progress from strength to strength, where we persist in obedience even when circumstances appear contrary to God’s promises. Finally, we advance from glory to glory, where divine empowerment manifests and God’s purposes become reality. This progression explains why believers sometimes feel like they’re laboring under their own strength, working hard without supernatural assistance. The key is continuing in faithful obedience until the Holy Spirit releases His empowering breath. Abraham’s journey to Mount Moriah perfectly illustrates this principle – maintaining faith and obedience even when God’s provision isn’t yet visible, trusting that the Lord will provide. The sermon addresses creation’s current state, corrupted through Adam’s fall but awaiting redemption through Christ. All creation groans in anticipation of the manifestation of God’s children, when divine restoration will be complete. This cosmic perspective helps believers understand their role in God’s redemptive plan extending far beyond personal salvation. Dr. Holman’s teaching provides practical framework for understanding spiritual seasons and God’s timing in fulfilling His promises.
