Who do you think Jesus is?
In Marks gospel we see Jesus asking this question,
Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, "Who do people say I am?"
They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets."
"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ.'" Mark 8:27-29.
Is Jesus The Christ, The Messiah, The Son of God?
Just who do you think Jesus is?
C. S. Lewis answered that question this way,
"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him (Jesus): 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.
If Jesus is not The Son of God, God Incarnate. Then Christianity has created one of the greatest lies in all of human history. With billions of people believing that lie.
That being said I believe Jesus is the Son of God, God incarnate. As such everyone who hears about Jesus has a choice to make. A choice Jesus gave when He, speaking about himself said,
"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.
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 3:16-18.
Thus the choice is yours. Do you believe Jesus is all He said He is. Do you believe the Gospel message laid down in the New Testament?
Before you answer the question please take time to read the New Testament for yourself and learn what men and women who knew Jesus believed about Him.
Please think about it.
