Consider Jesus
John's Gospel records
"Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.
Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.”
John 14:5-11.
Here is a truth. The writers of the New Testament didn’t hide anything. They told of the miracles of Jesus however fantastic they may have sounded. They told of Jesus’ claim to be God. They did not back down on what they believed. They did not sugar coat it to make things easier to accept.
They said Jesus performed miracles, he healed the sick, forgave sins and said plainly that he and God the Father are one.
They said all of this, and ask the reader to believe them.
If all that is said in the New Testament about Jesus is untrue. If even a portion of it is untrue, why would men who want people to believe in Jesus write what they did.
The writers of the New Testament want people to believe that Jesus is the Son of God, the Saviour of mankind. They could only expect people to believe in Jesus if they told the truth.
Thus I a Christian. Who believes Jesus is God in incarnate, God the flesh, the Saviour of mankind ask you the reader to make your decision.
Please take time to read the New Testament and decide for yourself who Jesus is.
Please think about it.
