People believe many things about Jesus; that he was a prophet, a teacher or the greatest man that ever lived.
But Jesus is so much more.
Here’s what the Bible says about Jesus…
He is God – “In the beginning was the Word [Jesus], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God” (John 1:1-2). He is eternal; he has always existed. Jesus Christ is infinite.
He is the Creator – “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth…all things were created through him and for him” (Colossians 1:16).
He is our Saviour – Because of our sinful nature we are separated from God, but because of God’s love for us he sent Jesus to die on a cross for us and rise to life three days later. “For God so loved the world he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16. Jesus was the “mediator between God and men [mankind]…who gave himself as a ransom for all.” 1 Timothy 2:5-6.
He did this by dying on the cross for us, taking the punishment we deserve as sinners. “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree…by his wounds you have been healed.” 1 Peter 2:24
How Will You Respond?
Jesus promises “To all those who received him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” John 1:12.
If you have never done so, personally respond to Jesus Christ and let him make you a new person from the inside out today. Tell him your own words or use this prayer as a guide to express your belief in Jesus as your Saviour:
Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner and cannot save myself. With all my heart I believe you died on the cross for my sins and giving me the gift of eternal life. Come into my life, Lord Jesus, and be my Savior. Amen.
