Who's Jesus?

 Who's Jesus?

The apostle John writes,

"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.  

The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us.  

We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.  

We write this to make our joy complete. " 1John 1:1-4.

The apostle John here gives his reason for writing about Jesus. He makes it clear that not just him but the other disciples also seen what he had.

John states Jesus said,

“Jesus answered him, if anyone loves me, he will keep my word and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.” John 14:23.

Note Jesus calls God His Father.

John tells of this conversation between Jesus and Martha. Martha saying,

"Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;  and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"

"Yes Lord" she told Him, "I believe you are the Christ the Son of God, who was to come into the world," John 11:25,26,27.

Note Jesus claims to be “the resurrection and the life”

and Martha states “I believe you are the Christ the Son of God”

John writes that Jesus said,

"Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6.

Note Jesus claims to be the way to God the Father.

John also quotes Jesus speaking of himself and saying,

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.". John 3:16,17.

Note Jesus claimed to be the Son of God. T

That all who believed in Him would have eternal life.

That the reason Jesus came into the world was to save the world.

Lastly John records Jesus as giving a warning to all who hear about him. Jesus warning that.

“Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son". John 3:18.

If these claims are untrue then no one has to worry. But if they are true there at the very least is a lot to be concerned about.

Who do you think Jesus is?
