The sermon "That Same Jesus" by Fred Evans centers on the theological significance of Jesus Christ as both fully divine and fully human, as declared in Acts 2:36. Evans emphasizes the importance of recognizing Jesus not merely as a historical figure or a moral teacher but as the Lord and Messiah appointed by God. He supports his argument with various Scripture references, particularly highlighting the need to understand Jesus as the one who fulfills Old Testament prophecies and the purpose of His coming to provide for the salvation of His people through His righteousness and atonement. The sermon challenges listeners to confront their understanding of Christ and underscores the practical significance of knowing the true Jesus, which is critical for one's relationship with God and salvation, resonating with Reformed doctrines of election, total depravity, and the effectual call.
“I want to declare to you that God hath made Him both Lord and Christ. I'm not asking you to make Him Lord and Christ. He's already Lord and Christ.”
“Except you believe that Jesus Christ is God, manifest in the flesh, you will die in your sins.”
“If your Christ has done all he can do and something's left for you to do, that's not the same Jesus of this book.”
“He is Lord, and He is the Christ. [...] Any Jesus that is not like that is not Jesus.”
