Who is Jesus?

"I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by Me."
John 14:6
"I am the light of the world.
He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."
John 8:12
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM."
John 8:58
("I AM" is the name of God in the Old Testament!)

The statements above are just a few of the claims Jesus of Nazareth made concerning His eternally-existent Deity. I know! I know! Most people don't like to think of Jesus that way. It makes them uncomfortable.

They prefer to think of Him as "a good man", or "a prophet among many prophets" — and some will even go so far as to say, "He certainly had God's hand on him!" But, they just can't — or rather, won't — believe He was the long-awaited promised Messiah, God incarnate.

Now . . . sit back . . . take a deep breath . . . try to put your preconceived notions aside . . . and just think about this for a moment. This man claimed to have lived 3000 years prior to the day He walked in Galilee! He claimed to have a direct connection to the Father that no one else had! And, He actually claimed to be GOD!

Stop and think about that! Would we really look at someone making those kinds of claims and call him a "good man" or a "prophet"? That's absurd! Surely, anyone making those claims would be considered a candidate for a padded cell. We'd think he's either a nut . . . or a pathological liar . . . or a self-righteous, bigoted egomaniac! These days, some psychologists would probably diagnose him as bi-polar with multiple personality disorder.

But, who in their right mind would say, "He's a good man," or "He's a great moral teacher," or "He's a Prophet sent by God."??

Like it or not, sooner or later you will have to make a decision! Either Jesus of Nazareth was a nut who should've been locked up for His own safety . . . or He was exactly who He claimed to be! There are no other choices!

Here's something else for you to think about... Did you know that Jesus fulfilled every Old Testament prophecy (more than 100) about the promised Messiah? He was born of a virgin in the town of Bethlehem, just as prophesied hundreds of years earlier. His purpose in coming was to die as the sacrificial Lamb of God — to fulfill God's righteous judgment for our sin. He was crucified exactly as prophesied hundreds of years earlier (before anyone knew what crucifixion was!). And He validated His sacrifice on our behalf when He rose on the morning of the third day — as prophesied.

Last but not least... ...just as surely as He fulfilled all the prophecies about His first coming, He will return as promised to receive all those who have put their faith in Him.

He wants to be your personal Savior. He wants to set you free from sin's penalty (which is death) and welcome you into His family. He wants to give you peace — freedom — real joy — and eternal life.

Jesus once asked His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" You now have to answer that same question!

Investigate Jesus for yourself.
