Every professional person, when interviewing for a job must have a resume with references, academic achievements and credentials as well as experience in their particular field of endeavor.  So, does Jesus have a resume and why would He need one? 

Although He never came right out and said He was the promised Messiah, He went about doing the things that the Messiah was required to do.  He performed miracles, healings and well as His teachings.  He said, “I and the Father are One.”  A wild claim that didn’t endear Him to many of the theologians of His day. 

Although He was only a poor carpenter’s son from Galilee He spoke with authority and people were amazed at His teaching! 

Jesus, however, did have a resume.  His resume was a God given authority. 

He said “the Father who sent me has testified of me.  The works that my father has given me to accomplish the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me (John 5:36-38) He told the scribes. “You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, yet it is these that testify of me.” (John 5:39)

It was for this reason that the disciples of John the Baptizer came to Jesus asking, “Are you the expected one or shall we look for another.”  Jesus responded by saying.  “Go and report to John what you see and hear, the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up and the poor have the good news preached to them.”  (Matt.11:4-5).  For John, the words were clear.  Jesus was referring to the prophecy of Isaiah 61 to validate His claim. 

The Messianic Resume inscribed in the Hebrew Scriptures… the Torah, the prophets and the Sacred Writings was the same text that Jesus used to teach the Emmaus Road disciples the truth about himself.

The cross and resurrection prove that Jesus had indeed, defeated the forces of sin and death. 

A New Age was beginning and will culminate in His return and all the forces of evil will be defeated and there will be peace on earth and good will for all men. 

                                        His Resume is from God Himself!
