People still struggle over the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Just who is He? They wrestle within themselves about Him. They argue with others over Him. Even some who say they believe in Him don’t seem to be fully convinced. What say you?
Let’s take a look. He...
...walked on water
...gave sight to the blind
...made a paralytic walk
...healed a woman of a long-standing bleeding problem
...gave lepers a healthy skin
...made the best wine out of fresh water
...stilled the stormy winds
...”out fished” the fishermen with a huge catch on a slow day
...fed 5000 plus with 5 loaves and 2 fish
...raised the dead back to life
...taught the word of God with clarity, depth, and authority like no other
...stood up for the oppressed and the dispirited
...confronted the oppressors and the hypocrites
...confounded all those who tried to trap him with crafty questions about the Law
...claimed to be around before Abraham
...said God was His Father
...forgave sins
...lived in such a way that no one could convict Him of sin
...was crucified by Rome at the insistence of His own people
...was placed in a tomb, but rose to life on the third day
...sent His disciples out with a message of repentance, hope and eternal life
Well, that’s a quick glimpse at this Jesus of Nazareth. What do you think? Peter said He was “the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
What say you? And what are you going to do about it?
