Who is Jesus?
The apostle John’s gospel records,
“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.
Here Jesus gives a definitive answer as to who he is and the crowd rejects him. They’d made up their minds before hand. They had no faith in Jesus.
So it is in the world outside the Church people refuse to believe in Jesus also. Even when confronted with what the bible says or for that matter evidence about Jesus from sources outside the bible, they still refuse to believe because their mind is made up.
The bottom line however is Jesus is all he says he is. Each individual whether they have been in church all their lives, or never been in a church, when confronted with the truth about Jesus must make a decision. Jesus 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 truly believe who Jesus is or not.
Please think about it.
