The Messiah
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
In the gospel of Matthew we read,
"...The high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God."
"Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied. "But I say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."Matthew 26:63,64.
In the book of Acts when Peter stood before the elders and rulers Peter said,
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12.
The above verses from the New Testament show what the writers of the New Testament believed Jesus to be. These claims were controversial then and still are today.
C. S. Lewis wrote,
"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God.
That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell.
You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity.
So who is Jesus to you?
Please think about it.
