A Look at Who the Bible Says Jesus Was … and Why It Matters
A quick study of some verses from the Gospel of John
Who is Jesus? Do you know?
These days, there’s a lot of confusion about this man who walked the earth two thousand years ago.
Wikipedia gives this description of Him in the first paragraph of their entry for “Jesus”:
Jesus (c. 4 BC — c. AD 30 / 33), also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus Christ, was a first-century Jewish preacher and religious leader. He is the central figure of Christianity, the world’s largest religion. Most Christians believe he is the incarnation of God the Son and the awaited Messiah (the Christ) prophesied in the Old Testament.
I wouldn’t say, like Wikipedia did, that “most” Christians believe this. I would say all Christians do. And if you don’t believe that Jesus is the Son of God, God in the flesh, and the long-awaited Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament, then you’re not really a Christian.
Why do Christians believe this about Jesus? Because this is who the Bible says Jesus is, and we believe the Bible. In this post, I’m going to share some key verses from the Gospel of John that explain who Jesus was and is.
