Who is Jesus Christ.  Was he mad , bad or Messiah.  Was he a liar, a lunatic or Lord.  Some may think that Jesus was a good man, a prophet or a priest, but deny that he is the son of God.  Jesus said of himself ,“He who had seen me has seen the Father.” ( John 14 v 9).  I and my Father are one, (John 10 v 30).  Do you not believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me, (John 14 v 10).  And (2 Peter 1 v 17) says this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. To reject these biblical passages as the truth, one would have to conclude that Jesus was lying.  This is not what you would expect Jesus to do if he was a good man.

 

When Jesus walked on the earth 2000 years ago some people said he was bad and crucified him, but the Bible tells us that Jesus went about doing good (Act 10 v 36).  There are over 30 recorded healing miracles of Jesus in the bible.

 

Jesus had a conversation with a women at a well in Samaria.  The women said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming, (who is called Christ) when he comes he will tell us all things. Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you are He”. Jesus proclaimed that He was the Messiah, the Christ, the anointed one of God. When Jesus was born the angels declared, “ For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour who is Christ the Lord.”

(Luke 2 v 11). 

 

Jesus is the lord of all (Acts 10 v 36). So where is Jesus now.  He is alive and well, after his death and resurrection he was received up to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God (Mark 16 v 19).
