Who is Jesus of Nazareth?
This is a question every born gain believer should be able to answer correctly and confidently, but many of us feel inadequate to explain who He is. Sure, we’ve been saved and baptized, we likely attend church, and even give to the ministry of the church. But if someone questions us about Jesus, sometimes we are at a loss for words. Since the world is filled with many opinions and misconceptions regarding Jesus’ identity, we as believers must be prepared to give an accurate answer to anyone who asks us about Jesus, and the only source for absolute truth on this matter is God’s Word.
The Lord Jesus Christ is truly like no one else. Herod couldn’t kill Him. Satan couldn’t trap Him. Torture, crucifixion and death couldn’t destroy Him, and the grave couldn’t hold Him. So why are we sometimes quiet? Why don’t we speak up and boldly proclaim Him more often to the world? The more people denounce, disbelieve, criticize, or curse Christ, the stronger our relationship with Him should grow and the more willing we should be to tell others about Him. After all, His is the ONLY name by which people can be saved.
“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
