The Truth About Jesus

Jesus knew the scriptures like no one else. Remember, when He was 12 years old, Jesus met with the religious teachers in the Temple, and they were amazed with His knowledge and understanding (Luke 2:46-47). Jesus knew exactly what He was saying when He proclaimed, "I AM" and "You will see One who looks like the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven." He clearly understood these words and phrases as references to the Messiah – God in the flesh.

Furthermore, He allowed others to worship Him, and He constantly equated Himself to the God of Israel. Are these the words and actions of someone who views Himself as an ordinary man? Are these the words of just one in a long line of prophets? Why do you think the Pharisees and Sadducees were constantly accusing Him of blasphemy? It's because He, a mere man in their eyes, claimed to be equal to God.

Plenty of people say Jesus never claimed to be the Messiah, but the position of Jesus Himself is clear and unequivocal. Those who say He was a great moral teacher, but not God in the flesh, ignore His actual teachings. If you believe Jesus is not the Son of God, then you can't also believe He's a great moral teacher. How could you if He's proclaiming to be someone He's not? If you don't think He's the Son of God, then you have to believe He's either crazy or a liar – but you can't straddle the fence and believe that He's "good."

Only three options really exist. Jesus either lied about who He was, was deluded about who He was, or He was who He said He was. But again, don't take my word for it. For one thing, you don't have to. Many witnesses who spent time with Jesus were beaten, ridiculed, and martyred for their insistence that Jesus was who He said He was, and their testimony is a lot more compelling than mine. So why not take the time to investigate what they said?
