Who is Jesus?

A group of religious leaders once questioned Jesus about his identity and He said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.” John 8:58

There is much that can be said about this verse and the related passage; however, we will only address two primary words “was” and “am”. These words are quite different. In the original language the first word “was” teaches that Abraham was brought into existence. It clearly teaches he is a created being. On the other hand, the second word “am” clearly declares Christ did not come into existence; rather, He has always existed. He is co-eternal with the Father. He indeed is God the Son and the Son of God. Just as John declared in John 1:1 , “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

Let no one be mistaken…Jesus, the Christ, is God! He is the resurrection and the life. There is no other name under heaven where by man can be saved. He is not a way to God; He is the way to God! One will never truly know peace, gain a purpose, receive hope or have assurance of eternal life until one confesses with his mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believes with his heart that He has been raised from the dead.
