He is the true God and eternal life

“We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.” (1 John 5:20 NIV)

 Who’s is Jesus?

If you ask the average person on the street the question: “Who is Jesus Christ?” You will get many answers such as: “He was a good man”… “He was a religious leader.” … “He was a Bible character”…. “He was a prophet of God” … “He was a great human moral teacher.” And many more answers, too numerous to name. People have been asking the “who was Jesus?” question for a long time! Jesus’ own disciples even declared, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!” (Matt. 8:27). And Jesus asked them one day, “Who do people say that I am?” (Mark 8:27). And they answered, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.” (Mark 8:28). Then Jesus said, “Who do you say I am?” And Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.” And Jesus replied, “You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being. (Matt. 16:17 NLT). Jesus clearly stated to His disciples that he was indeed the expected messiah that they had been waiting for.

Quote:

 “A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else He would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”- C. S. Lewis
