Mark 15:39 (NKJV) 39 So when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of God!”
Who is Jesus?
There are three things about Him we would like to look at over the next three days.
As we do this, it should give us all a better, more complete understanding of who Jesus is. And this should give us a deeper appreciation for Him and what He did for us.
First, let us look at Him from a “big picture perspective” so we can better understand Him in a broad sense.
Who is Jesus in this larger sense?
The word of God says He is the Son of God, born of a virgin.
Luke 1:35 (NKJV) 35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.
According to John 1:1, He has existed for all eternity, and He is God.
John 1:2 reaffirms His eternal existence.
John 1:3 goes on to tell us that everything we see was made through Him. He was co-Creator, alongside the Father and the Holy Spirit.
John 1:1-3 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
He is not simply a good man or a prophet.
He is God in the flesh, who lived and walked among humanity.
John 1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Why did He come to walk among us?
To live a perfect, sinless life. And to give His life as a sacrifice for the sins of all of mankind.
With that established, we will continue this tomorrow.
