Considering answers to those faith-questions we all ask…
Category: JESUS CHRIST
Has anyone not been asked the following rhetorical question: "How do you know your God is the right one?" In my experience this question - posed more as an accusation - is directed at Christians and never Muslims or Hindus or people of other faiths. They are considered to be sincerely seeking while we followers of Christ are not.
Who was, and who is, Jesus Christ? You can make him what you want him to be, or you can believe what the Bible says about him. Contrary to many dismissive claims, Scripture is clear about his nature and his personhood. Jesus told his disciples that what we now call the Old Testament speaks of him throughout - even before he had been born. I here outline some of that evidence for those of you who are truly interested.
The works done by Jesus Christ during his life are enough evidence for the conviction that he was and is the Son of God. That is, God in flesh. No man has done or does legitimate and incredible miracles as he did in plain sight of all, and convincing enough to draw thousands without any advertising or television specials. No man spoke words such as he spoke or such profound truths, and for now we will ignore the empty claims of some in our time that Christianity "copied" words and claims from past spiritual giants.
If a man were to walk around the countryside shouting at the top of his voice: "I am God, I am God!", the chances are that most people, including me, would think he were crazy. True, there are plenty of people gullible enough to believe him and follow him. My dad used to say if you think you're somebody there will always be someone else who thinks you are.
Throughout the gospels Jesus Christ is seen to give sight to the blind, make the lame walk, raise the dead, walk on water and feed thousands. Today many Christians are determined to hold to the notion that they are doing miracles in their churches and on the streets, when in fact they are belittling the name of Christ, the glory of Christ and the true power of God.
