Bible Question: who was Jesus |
Bible Answer: Who is Jesus? It depends on whom you listen to. But what do you say? The multitude said he was the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee (Matthew 21:11). A voice from heaven, said, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:17 ). His disciples reported that some had said he was John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets (Matthew 16:13) . Simon Peter said he is the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matthew 16:16) . When they crucified him, they set up over his head “THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS” (Matthew 27:35). The centurion, and they that were with him, said that truly this was the Son of God (Matthew 27:54). Nathanael said he is the Son of God; the King of Israel (John 1:49). John the Baptist bare record that he is the Son of God (John 1:34). Jesus said John bare witness unto the truth (John 5:33). Jesus said the works which the Father had given him to finish, which he had done, were saying that the Father had sent him (John 5:36). Jesus said the Father himself, who had sent him, had borne witness of him (John 5:37). Jesus said the scriptures testify of him (John 5:39). Jesus said he was the I AM (John 8:58). Two disciples said he was a prophet, mighty in deed and word (Luke 24:20). Paul says he is the one mediator that there is, between God and men (1 Timothy 2:5). The Father says the Son is God, with a throne that is for ever and ever (Hebrews 1:8). John the apostle says they have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world (1 John 4:14). Peter says that we can know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus both Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36). Others said other things. But we ask, as he did, “Whom do you say he is?”. |
