In the Beginning was The Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… John 1:1
Just who is Jesus Christ? That is a question that men have asked for over 2,000 years. And, like John said about the works of Jesus, the same can be said of Him personally: “I supposed that the world itself could not contain the books…” John 21:25.
The great French Military General Napolean once said of The Lord Jesus Christ: “I know men. And this Jesus Christ, is no mere man…”
You can learn much about a man not only from those who respected Him, but also from His enemies…
Among all of the worlds’ philosophers, the single one whose words, ideas, and even Name has been fought against the hardest, more than any other—ever, is not Buddha, nor Mohammed, Confucius, Lao Tzu, nor Mahatma Ghandi.
It is Jesus Christ.
Schools across our nation are being encouraged to say ‘seasons greetings’ rather than ‘Merry Christmas’.
For those few Schools and State sponsored gatherings that do still allow prayer at opening events, frown upon, or do not allow the closing of that prayer ‘in the Name of Jesus’.
He was something that had never existed before. He was God, manifested, revealed in the flesh, in a human body. He was the second Person of the Trinity who put on the flesh of a human body the same way that you and I put on clothes to go to work. Only His work, was to come to Earth and take the weight, the punishment, and the penalty of all our wrong doing, our sin. To pay for those sins, bear the wrath of God for things He didn’t commit, so that we could live a godly life that we didn’t deserve.
Depending upon your background, the path which we will journey through in the Word to learn about who Jesus is maybe shocking, surprising and amazing. We make you one promise. It may not always be religious, but it will always be honest, truthful and accurate, because you will read it for yourself from the Word and the Master’s lips in His own words and the words of those who knew Him
