The
Bible presents us with some inescapable truths about Jesus. Anyone who
seriously studies the Bible must answer two probing questions: (1) What
do you think of Jesus Christ? and (2) Who is He? The writer C. S. Lewis
made this observation: “You must make your choice. Either this man was,
and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse. You can
shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or
you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come
with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He
has not left that open to us. He did not intend to” (Mere Christianity,
rev. ed. [New York: Macmillan, 1952], 41).
Jesus was not just a
good man. He was—and is—the Son of God. Let’s examine what the Bible
says about Jesus.
1.
Jesus is human. Jesus became our supreme example as God in human
form (see Philippians 2:5-11).
2.
Jesus is divine. Even though Jesus became human, he still remained
God (see Colossians 1:15-20).
3.
Jesus had a specific mission to accomplish. Jesus came to save
humankind from sin (see Luke 4:16-21).
4.
Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice. Jesus endured tremendous pain so
that we could enjoy eternity with him (see 1 Peter 2:24).
5.
Jesus has great power to transform people. Jesus can change the most
unlikely person into one of the most powerful witnesses on his
behalf (see Acts 4:13 ).
6.
Jesus has an eternal dominion. Jesus’ Kingdom extends beyond the
boundaries of space and time (see Revelation 1:4-8).
