Jesus

Who Is Jesus?

The questions we often ask about God seem endless: “Is God real?” “Are the things we know about Him actually true?” and “What does He have to do with my life?” These are just a few examples.

While the Bible may not answer every question we have about God—and may even lead us to ask more—it provides a clear answer to one critical question: “Who is Jesus?”

Jesus affirms the apostle Peter’s declaration of Him as “the Messiah, the Son of the Living God” (Matthew 16:16). He acknowledges this truth because He knows that understanding who He is—and what He can be to us—has the power to transform our lives. What makes Jesus so extraordinary is that He is where two realities meet: heaven and earth, the divine and the human.

The Bible says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us” (John 1:1,14). This shows us that Jesus is both fully God and fully human, sent to reveal the Father and bring us back into relationship with Him.

Indeed, Jesus’ name is above every name. His power to calm storms, breathe stars into existence, and perform miracles is unmatched. Yet, He is also the human Jesus—our friend, who understands our struggles and cares deeply for us. That is why the Bible calls Him “Emmanuel,” which means “God with us” (Matthew 1:23).

Jesus Cares!

Does Jesus care about you? Yes, He does! How do we know this?

Often we disqualify ourselves from God’s love because of our history, our failures and our shortcomings. Sin has separated us from God and we can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. So how can we accept what we have not earned? The Bible says that nothing in all of creation can separate us from the Love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. And to accept God’s love is to trust His patient, forgiving and gracious stance towards us. Only He has the power to free us from guilt, shame and condemnation, to give us a life of wholeness. All we have to do is turn to Him.

A fresh start...

To be made whole, or to be saved, is to submit to God and His plan and purpose for our lives. It is a turning from our old ways and turning to Jesus, to ask Him for forgiveness from our sins and to give us new life in Him.

Romans 10:9 says: “If you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Salvation is God’s free gift to us and we become His children.

It is an irrevocable acceptance into the family of God and it is an empowerment to live life wholly and fully with the purpose of reflecting God to the rest of His creation.

If you are not sure whether you are right with God or you know in fact that you need Jesus in your life, you can choose to follow Him right now by praying a prayer of surrender to Jesus.

Dear Jesus, I’m praying this prayer because I know that I have done wrong by living without You. I am sorry and I trust that You will forgive me. I accept Your love and grace for me and ask that You would be my Lord. Help me believe in You and love You every day, and help me to show the world what You are like and how great Your love is.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
