Who is Jesus to the Christian?
In the Gospel of John we read,
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
In him was life, and that life was the light of men....
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. ” John 1:1-4,14
Jesus speaking to his disciples 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.
These are two statements Christians make and ask the listener to believe by faith. The writer of Hebrews stating,
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6.
God will never force himself on anyone. He leaves it in the listeners hands.
Many men over the centuries have tried to dispute who Jesus was all ultimately have failed.
Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate, (361-363 A.D.) an ancient adversary of Christianity. Said in his work against Christianity:
"Jesus…has now been celebrated about three hundred years having done nothing in his lifetime worthy of fame, unless anyone thinks it is a very great work to heal lame and blind people and exorcise demoniacs in the villages of Bethsaida and Bethany."
At the end of his life Julian was forced to say:
"Thou has conquered, O Galilean!"
What do you think about Jesus?
Please think about it.
