Bible Question: I am having a difficult time determining who the historical Jesus really was. was he an interpreter/reformer of the Law and/ or Temple rites, a political king fighting against Rome's oppression, an apocalyptic figure, a prophet or divine man, or was he a teacher of (secret) knowledge. If someone can give scripture to back up any of these points that would be great. I am leaning towards Jesus as being a teacher of secret knowledge... any thoughts? |
Bible Answer: softballqt, You said "I am leaning towards Jesus as being a teacher of secret knowledge... any thoughts?" Perhaps you are leaning in the wrong direction. I'm glad you ask for scripture proof! Start with His birth! Luke 1:34-35 (NASB95) 1:34 Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?" 1:35 The angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God. There are many more scriptures that speak to who Jesus is. But for now, based on this scripture, who would you say Jesus is? Steve |
