What Jesus said of himself
Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
“Sir,” they said, “from now on give us this bread.”
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.
But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.
All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.
For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.
And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.
For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”
John 6:32-40
The Bible does not hide who Jesus is. It reports clearly here in John 6:32-40 what he says about himself.
He admits he came down from heaven. That those who come to him he will not cast away.
He says he has come to do the will of his Heavenly Father, God.
And he make one very clear statement,
“For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Such a statement can in my mind only be taken in two ways. Either they are the words of a lunatic who has fooled to date two point two billion people (the number of estimated Christians in the world today).
Or he is who he says he is the One and Only Son of God the Saviour of mankind.
The choice is up to each person individually to decide.
Is Jesus the Son of God or not.
Think about it?
