It's all about Jesus

The Bible declares that Jesus was/is God the Son who in His incarnation (birth into human history as fully God and fully man) provided for us the clearest and most important revelation of God that has ever been or ever will be and can alone forgive our sins and grant us salvation. In Hebrews 1:1-3 we read, "In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God‘s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven."

The question of Jesus is of vital importance because while many people believe such things as that Jesus lived, was a good teacher, or a very spiritual man, there remains many erroneous perspectives of Him that deny that He is God. The Apostle Paul spoke of this propensity to reduce the majesty of the real Jesus in favor of a diluted and diminished Jesus that in the end is no longer truly Jesus at all. In 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 Paul writes, "But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent‘s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough."

So, the greatest question we could ever pose is this: who do you say that Jesus is? This is actually a question Jesus himself posed to his disciples. He asked, "Who do people say that I am?" and then asked the pointed version, "who do you say that I am?" Every human being must reckon with Jesus Christ at some point in their life, whether in this one or in the one to follow. It is hugely important that you wrestle with this since the way you answer that question in this life will determine your eternity.

If you have questions about Jesus, doubts about his claim to divinity, or objections to Scripture‘s language concerning this Christ, please feel free to ask. We don‘t claim to to know every answer, just the One that matters most. The rest will be sorted out through our journey to him. Would you join us?
