Who is Jesus? Around 2,000 years ago a man named Jesus came from the town of Nazareth in what is now called Israel. He traveled about the region and gained a large following. The religious leaders in Jerusalem at the time, falsely accused him of crimes and handed him over to the Roman authorities. They killed him by nailing him to a cross. 3 days later He rose from the grave.
1. JESUS IS GOD.
John wrote about Him: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God (John 1:1 ESV). He created the world and all that is in it (John 1:3). The religious leaders of his time understood that Jesus claimed to be God (John 5:17-18). Paul wrote that when Jesus died, the Father revealed to the entire world that He was God (Philippians 2:5-11).
2. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD.
According to the Bible, “Son of God” means: (1) He is fully God. (2) He is one of three persons who together make up the One God. This concept is called the “Trinity.”
The religious leaders of Jesus’ time understood this concept: This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. (John 5:18 ESV)
3. JESUS BECAME HUMAN THROUGH THE VIRGIN BIRTH.
The eternal Son of God already existed in heaven (John 17:5). Through the power of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:20), He was born as a human being, who was then named Jesus (Matthew 1:25). To demonstrate that Jesus was not a mere man (Colossians 2:9), God chose a virgin to give birth to Him (Luke 1:34-35).
Do you want to ask Jesus into your life today?
Just say this prayer: “Jesus I realize that I am a sinner. I believe that you died for me on the cross for my sins. I believe that you rose again and are in heaven. I want you now to be Lord of my life. Amen
If you meant that with your whole heart, You Are Born Again!
