About Jesus
“The Jews gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father’s name speak for me, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
I and the Father are one.”
Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”
John 10:24-32.
These who wrote the New Testament told everything. They recorded that there were those who didn’t believe Jesus was who he claimed to be. Those who wanted to kill Jesus as a heretic. They also told of the miracles Jesus performed. They knew that they really happened.
They recorded Jesus on numerous occasions saying he was the Son of God or as John records in the above quot, Jesus saying “I and my Father are one.” something that could have got Jesus stoned to death.
The New Testament authors layed it all out there and in essence said this is what we witnessed. This is what we believe is the most important message for every man and woman in the world, believe it or not.
Matthews gospel records
“When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Matthew 16:13-16.
This is the question every man and woman on this earth must answer. That answer in my opinion will determine their eternal resting place.
Please think carefully about it.
