Jesus – The
historical person who Christians accept as the second person of the Trinitarian
God on whose birth, Dionysius, a monk who lived in the 5th century,
based the center point of the current calendar. Though his calculations may
have been incorrect, the point is that the birth and life of Jesus is accepted
by most of the world from a calendar perspective as the center of human
history.
I believe
it was C.S. Lewis who first said, Jesus must be viewed as a liar, a lunatic, or
Lord. You see, Jesus claimed to be God and the Messiah. Here are just three of
the many examples.
“I and the
Father are one.”
John 10:30
“Jesus
*said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the
Father but through Me.”
John 14:6
“And
those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You are certainly God’s
Son!”
Matthew 14:33 (He never denied His deity when others worshipped HIM.)
Someone who claims to be God is either
seeking to deceive or is crazy. He can’t be a good teacher or just a prophet
with the claim being among His proclamations. The third possibility is that He
is who He says He is. When I examine the evidence: the eye witness accounts of
His life and His miracles, the changed lives then and throughout history, the
archeological and forensic evidence of the validity of the Biblical accounts, I
can’t help but come away with a conviction that Jesus is who He says He
is.
If He is who He says He is, what you
decide about Jesus makes all the difference in your life. Here are a few "J" websites to help you consider Him further.
God bless, Maria
