Jesus

Who Is Jesus?

Jesus is the Son of God

John 1:14, The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Hebrews 4:15, Jesus was tempted in every way, just as we are. For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.

1 John 3:5, Jesus came to earth in human form so that He could die a physical death and take away our sins. Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure. 4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and in him is no sin.

John 1:1-3, Jesus existed from the beginning. 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made.

Miracles: Luke 7:22 · 22 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

Matthew 16:13-17 13 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” 14 They said, “Some say John the Baptizer, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

Fulfillment of Prophecy: Matthew 13:14,

14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, ‘By hearing you will hear, And will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, And will in no way perceive: Luke 24:44 · Jesus' own identification/claim: John 10:30-38, Matthew 16:13-17, Mark 14:61-64 · Claims of Christ's followers: Hebrews 1:8, Colossians 1:16, John 12:40 (quoting Isaiah 6:1-10) · Resurrection: Luke 24:39, Mark 8:31,

Acts 17:32 Jesus is the key to membership in God’s family. When He established His deity by rising from the grave, He made it possible for us to have forgiveness from sin and a renewed relationship with God. 32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.” Who is Jesus? He is the Way to Heaven; Who is Jesus, and why is He the only path to salvation?

John 14:6, Jesus declares: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Why is it important to know that NO other religious leaders throughout history have ever made these claims?

Ephesians 2:8-9, 8“for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, that no one would boast." How does this contrast with other world religions which are based on “works” versus faith in Jesus and the resurrection? If we can’t build a relationship with God by doing good deeds or repeating rituals, what must we do?

Acts 4:12 is clear, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
