The Question
“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
John 11:25,26.
Here is a simple statement spoken by Jesus himself that every man and woman that has ever been presented with the gospel of Christ must answer. Who do you believe Jesus is.
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
For those who doubt that Jesus is indeed God incarnate, God in the flesh, I would suggest you read C. S. Lewis’s book Mere Christianity. He for me presents an excellent case for Jesus.
Either way God has given each and every person a free will to choose the path they follow. That free will includes the right to reject the claims of Jesus and the gift of eternal life that he offers.
Jesus said,
... “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6.
The decision as to who you believe Jesus is however remains up to you the reader.
I a Christian would ask one thing of you the reader. Please read at least the New Testament with an open mind and no preconceived ideas before you make your final decision about Jesus.
Please think about it.
