Bible Question:
I asked the man if he believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. He said he believed Jesus was a prophet. Interesting that he quoted the Bible much more often than he ever did the Qur’an. He was aware that Moses had predicted the appearance of Jesus as a prophet. I wondered if he realized that Moses was also a priest and that Jesus was a priest. But of course, Jesus was greater than Moses in his priesthood also, having been made our Great High Priest (Hebrews 5:10;6:20, etc). And Jesus had a title never attributed to Moses: he is King. He is King of kings (Revelation 17:14;19:16). So there are those who say he is a prophet and that’s all. But the question he asked his disciples carries over to today. As we listen to the people and realize how limited their answers are, whom to we say that he is? As we talk about him and the things the Bible says about him, the question is: “What things?” |
Bible Answer: Aixen7z4 John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. You should have asked you man if prophets lie, when he said, "no" Then ask him how he handles what Jesus said. This is the where all false religions fall apart most recognized Jesus as a prophet, a great man, and some even a god, but they also have to call Jesus a liar for Jesus said there was only one way to the Father it was Him. That eliminates their flasehoods. EdB |
