Challenge:
Do you know who Jesus Christ is? If so, how much do you know Him? Do you know Him by heart? Or by name only? Do you know why was He sent to us? Do you have any personal relationship with Him?
To many: Jesus did not and does not exist. He was a myth, a fiction. To others: Jesus is a subject of late night humor. To non-Christians: Jesus was a Teacher, a Prophet.
To the Roman Catholic believers, you may be like me before I got saved in August 25, 1996. I was born and raised in the Roman Catholic background. Many times in my childhood, I heard the name Jesus inside and outside the church. From time to time, I even mentioned the name Jesus as if I really knew Him. The fact of the matter was that I only knew Him by Name in a ritualistic way, not by heart. I really didn’t know Him personally. It took me 40 years before I truly understood who He is, why He came to this world, and what He is to me. Now I can very proudly say that Jesus Christ is not only my Creator and my Father, but also my Friend, my Teacher, and most especially – my Lord and Saviour. Through Him, now I am very certain that I am going to Heaven when I die, because I am saved.
Today, allow me to discuss briefly with you who Jesus Christ truly is. If you don’t know Him, perhaps this is the time that you will get to know Him. If you are a religious person (whatever your religion is), you may think that you already know Him, but I challenge you to spend the next three minutes to look deeper into your heart and sincerely ask yourself (with your utmost honesty) the questions you see above.
Who is Jesus Christ?
In Roger Carswell’s book, titled Questions & Answers from the Bible – It is quoted that “The Bible makes it very clear that there is only one God. This one God is in three persons: God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God clothed Himself in humanity in the person of Jesus Christ. God became man and dwelt among us.” Mr. Carswell referred to the following verses of Scripture: Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1, John 1:14, and 2 Corinthians 5:19.
In the same book, Mr. Carswell also quoted the following:
“Jesus came into the world to save His people from their sins. Because He cared He gave sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, speech to the dumb, strength to the lame, cleansing to the leprous, life to the dead, food to the hungry, peace to the troubled, comfort to the grieving and forgiveness to the guilty.
He had come to die. In dying He was bearing in His own body the sin of the world. In rising from the dead He conquered the great conqueror, death. He came from God that He might bring us to God. Christ is not only the greatest human who ever lived, who gave to the world the greatest teaching ever given, but He is the Creator, stepping into the areas of human history to rescue men and women from sin and bring them back to God.”
I couldn’t agree more with Mr. Carswell’s crystal-clear explanation of who Christ is. His explanation is much clearer and more straightforward than the way I could have written it.
In addition, Jesus is not only the proof of God (the Father)’s immeasurable love toward us (John 3:16), but also His sacrificial Lamb for the Salvation of those, who shall call His name (Matthew 1:21).
The Bible is, indeed, very clear – Salvation, which leads to an everlasting life in Heaven, could only be found by accepting Christ in your heart as your Lord and Saviour. Get to know Christ now, and be saved!
