This is a question that resonates throughout the ages.
Who is Jesus? Is he a man? Is he a prophet? Is he the Son of God?
This is a question that I believe is asked of each of us, and our
answer affects our eternity. But what is the correct answer? Let us
start by asking: who does Jesus say that he is?
“I and the Father
are one.” John 10:30
...Again the high
priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed
One?” “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man
sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the cloud
of heaven.” Mark 14:61-6
“Jesus answered,
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me.” John 14:6
Jesus claims that God is his Father. He says that he
and the Father are one and the same. He says that he is the way to
God, the truth, and the life. These words are from the mouth of
Jesus Christ Himself.
Next let us see, what does the Bible say about Jesus?
Who does it say that Jesus is?
Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one
who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. 1 John 5:5
Jesus performed many other signs in the presence
of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are
written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of
God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. John
20:30-31
Today in the town of
David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
Luke 2:11
So then, the Bible confirms Jesus' statements: it
declares that he is the Son of God; that he is part of God. It says
that he is our Messiah. It says that he is our Savior. So we know
what Jesus said about himself, and we know what the Bible says about
Jesus. It's all there for us to read. But in the end, only you
can decide what you believe about Jesus.
So then, here is a question that you and you alone can
answer: Who do you say that Jesus is?
