WHO IS JESUS.

Almost 2000 years ago, Jesus asked the religious leaders of the Jews, "What do you think of the Christ, whose son is he?". Matthew 22 : 42. This question not only puzzled them, but it puzzled most of those who came into contact with Him.

Some of them thought He was Elijah, others thought He was Jeremiah. Herod thought He was John the Baptist, back from the dead.

Ever since then, down through history, people have spoken highly of Him, but never really recognized that Jesus is Lord. He is the Messiah. He was God in human flesh. He was God before He was a baby in a manger. He was God before He created the world.

He was God when He hung on the cross, and also when He rose again and ascended back into Heaven. He was and is, the second member of the Trinity and at the same time, He is the Trinity.

As the Bible says in Deuteronomy 6 :4 "Hear O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord." There are 1037 verses in the Bible which contain the words " I AM". These two words are spoken at various times by God and by Jesus. In Genesis 15 : 1, the Lord said to Abram

(this was before his name was changed to Abraham), "Fear not Abram, I AM thy shield and thy exceeding great reward." In revelation 22 : 16, Jesus said " I AM the root and offspring of David, the Bright Morning Star."

So we can see that throughout the Bible, from beginning to end, this name applies to both God and Jesus. Many times throughout His ministry, Jesus healed people, forgave their sins and performed many miracles.

The religious leaders would say "who can forgive sins but God alone." Mark 2 : 7. The fact is, they just didn't get it, because their eyes were blinded by satan. Many people today have the same problem, but all they need to do is open their eyes and open their minds to the truth.
