SEBTS Chapel - John McGinnis April 4, 1962

Analytics
Description
  • The service begins with an introduction for the speaker, John McGinnis, who was pastor of Capital View Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA (00:00-00:50), and prayer (00:51-01:58). He reads John 14:1-9 (01:59-04:16). The subject for the sermon is “He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father,” and the general topic is “Christ is unique” (04:17-04:34). He then names seven influential sons of Abraham, with one who did not belong, Jesus, who was unique (04:35-06:06). He outlines that Jews had a high monotheistc view of God, which Jesus shared, while saying that He was the only road that led to God (06:07-09:43). If Jesus was just a good moral teacher and not divine, then He is a liar, a lunatic, and possessed by Satan, just as the people of Israel labeled Him; however, if He was truly divine, we must fall at His feet and worship Him (09:44-11:31). Jesus was unique in His nature, “very God of very God, yet our elder brother in the flesh” (11:32-15:09), unique in His life, tempted like us yet unstained by sin (15:10-16:46), and unique in His death, as it was planned and done willingly (16:47-20:31), and He is unique in His resurrection, as our eternal contemporary. To rob Jesus of His uniqueness forfeits the entire gospel message (20:32-22:51). He ends in prayer (22:52-23:32), and the service closes in choral singing (23:33-23:48).
