One True God
The Man who is God
God’s Spirit is not limited by time or space; He fills the Universe. When Jesus walked on earth, He was also in heaven. Jesus is called the Son of God, yet He is actually the manifestation of the Father in human form. He took the roles of Lord and servant, Father and Son at the same time.
Thus the Lord Jesus said: “He who has seen Me has seen the Father.” (John 14:9) Although Jesus is God, when He came to earth, He participated in and experienced our humanity. Jesus never committed sin, yet He felt the lure of temptation; He spoke with authority, yet humbly served others; He performed supernatural deeds, yet also experienced hunger, thirst, weariness, and sorrow.
Who is Jesus?
Jesus is the most influential man who ever lived; through the centuries people have talked about Jesus, written about Jesus, preached about Jesus and even died for Jesus. How could one person make such a profound and universal impact on humanity?
During His time on earth, Jesus performed miracles that were unheard of. He fed thousands of people with five loaves of bread and two fish; He walked on the sea; He calmed a storm; He opened the eyes of the blind, made the lame walk, and even raised the dead to life. Where did His supernatural power come from?
Jesus promised His believers everlasting spiritually fulfillment. He assured His followers that they would always have peace in their hearts. He even told the people that the only way to receive eternal life was to believe and follow Him. What gave Him the authority to offer these promises?
God Became Flesh
The fact is that Jesus was not a man; He was God who became man. He is not just a historical figure; He is the everlasting and almighty Creator. He was not just a religious leader; He is Lord and Savior.
Although Jesus was born at a point in time, He was always existed, long before His entry in this world. He was no beginning or end. He said of Himself, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” (Revelation 22:13)
When we talk about Jesus, therefore, we must not only think of Him as someone who lived two thousand years ago in the land of Palestine. Jesus is the everlasting God, who humbly became a man in order to save us and bring us into His eternal kingdom. Thus to understand the life and work of Jesus, we need to first turn our attention to Jesus is the eternal God, the Creator and Ruler of all things.
