Who is Jesus?

According to Easton's Bible dictionary the meaning of Christ is:- 'anointed, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word rendered "Messiah" (q.v.), the official title of our Lord, occurring five hundred and fourteen times in the New Testament. It denotes that he was anointed or consecrated to his great redemptive work as Prophet, Priest, and King of his people. He is Jesus the Christ (Acts 17:3; 18:5; Matt. 22:42), the Anointed One. He is thus spoken of by Isaiah (61:1), and by Daniel (9:24-26), who styles him "Messiah the Prince." '

According to Genesis, "In the beginning God created" it did not say "The Gods created", nor " The God Counsel", just "God". God did create heaven and the angels before the earth and mankind/ Adam. Therefore, Let us make man... (Gen 1:26) does not means there were more than one God, but more than being present.

Moses spoke to God "face to face" (Exod. 33:11), and God pass by Moses in Exod. 34:6, He only saw one God. In Deut. 4:6 he wrote "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:"

Moses also in Deut. 18:15 "The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;" In this, he was speaking of the the Christ that which was to come, that we should follow Him, because we will be judge according what He says.

In the Zechariah 14:9  it is recorded "And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one." Points to note, it states one LORD, and His name one (Jesus). In the Old Testament new God by only titles, nicknames, and His characteristics names.

Jesus confess in John 5:43  "I am come in my Father's name".

In the scriptures, James 2:19 "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." The devil can not believe in a lie, for he is he father of all lies. The devil also was in the presence of God serving daily, so I would say he knows.

Apostle John wrote "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men." (John 1:1-4) where he continued in verse 14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,". So, according to this recording, From the beginning (even before time) was the WORD, this very WORD was God, which became flesh (as Christ).

In the book to Timothy, Apostle Paul wrote "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory." Here you see Paul was confessing that Christ was God. (1 Tim. 3:16)

Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 5:19 "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them;" If God Himself was in Jesus Christ, then who is He?

The bible state that "God is a spirit" (John 4:24), then if He was to come to show us the way to live and to die for our sins, then how could it be done? Can you see a spirit? And if you could, would you want run and be afraid of it? Another question, can a spirit die?

Jesus states in John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." Confessing that He is the way, means there is no other way, the only way is Jesus. In John 10:9 Jesus says "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved". He is the door, confirms that there is no other way to enter heaven, the most holies of holies (the presents of God), or even to pray.

In Acts 4:12 Apostle Peter witness that "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." There is no other way to be saved, or in no other name. Remember He is way, ... and the door.

Apostle John state in 1 John 2:23 "Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also." Also stated in 1 John 5:12 is that "He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." So, therefore you will have to accept the Son to have the Father, and when you have the Son, you will have the Father, and then you will have life.

Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" He also wrote to the Hebrews in Hebrews 12:24 "Jesus the mediator of the new covenant". Apostle Paul confesses that Jesus is the mediator, negotiator for mankind in the new testament or covenant.

 Since the book of Revelation is "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him" (Apostle John) Revelation 1:1, let us see who He said He really is:

Revelation 1:7-8 states "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." Jesus told John in Revelation 1:17-18 "Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." Jesus also confess in Revelation 22:16 that "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."

John 6:35  And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John 6:51  I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

John 8:12  Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
John 9:5  As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

John 11:25  Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
John 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 10:7  Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
John 10:9  I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
John 10:11  I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
John 10:14  I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
 

John 15:1  I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
John 15:5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Revelation 1:17  And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Revelation 22:16  I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
